Frequently Asked Questions
Is The Blazing Mr Sam (Portraits Col.) safe for daily use?+
Yes, with standard fragrance precautions. The Grade B PSS score suggests the product is safe for regular application when used as directed. However, individuals with sensitive skin should patch-test first, particularly given the presence of a moderate-grade ingredient. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
The Ethanone compound at 6.2% concentration carries a Moderate safety grade. While this does not mean the ingredient is unsafe, it warrants attention—avoid applying directly to broken skin and ensure adequate dilution before use. The remaining ingredients, including the notably safe Ethylene Brassylate, pose minimal concern for typical consumers.
What does a PSS of 7.0/10 (Grade B) mean?+
PSS (Product Safety Score) measures overall fragrance safety based on ingredient safety data. A Grade B score of 7.0/10 indicates the product meets acceptable safety standards but is not in the highest tier. This reflects a balanced risk profile suitable for general consumer use, though not risk-free—as with all fragrances, individual sensitivity varies.
