Why This Score

✔Ethylene Brassylate (20.0%) is the primary ingredient and carries an excellent ISS rating of 10.0/10, indicating strong safety profile and stability in this fragrance.
✔Oxacyclohexadecenone (5.0%), a polycyclic musk, scores ISS 7.0/10 with Grade A safety classification, supporting the amber-woody character without raising dermal concerns at this concentration.
⚠An unresolved compound (7.5% concentration, ISS 7.0/10) lacks a readable ingredient name on the label; users with fragrance sensitivities should consider patch testing before full application.

Scores are calculated by HumanSafe™ — an independent third-party platform — using peer-reviewed toxicology sources, regulatory databases, and HumanSafe's Mood Architecture™.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Midnight Gold safe for daily use?+

Yes, Midnight Gold is generally safe for daily use. Its PSS score of 7.9/10 reflects solid safety standards for an eau de parfum. However, individual tolerance varies; if you experience irritation, redness, or allergic reactions, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist. Always apply to pulse points and avoid contact with eyes.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The main ingredients—Ethylene Brassylate, Oxacyclohexadecenone, and Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes—all carry acceptable safety ratings. One ingredient is listed as an unresolved compound, which means its chemical name is not clearly readable on available data. If you have known sensitivities to musks or woody notes, perform a patch test on the inner wrist before full use.

What does a PSS of 7.9/10 (Grade A-) mean?+

PSS (Product Safety Score) measures overall safety based on ingredient composition, concentration, and dermal/systemic risk factors. A 7.9/10 Grade A- indicates this fragrance has passed rigorous safety evaluation and is considered safe for intended use as an eau de parfum. It is not a perfect score, but well within acceptable limits for cosmetic fragrances sold to consumers.
