Why This Score

METHYL IONONES (7.5%) scores high on ingredient safety (ISS 8.5/10) and is a well-established fragrance component with a strong safety profile in eau de parfum formats.
PHENETHYL ALCOHOL (5.0%) is a naturally occurring fragrance ingredient with moderate safety rating (ISS 6.0/10) and is commonly used in cosmetic formulations.
Overall PSS score of 6.7/10 (Grade B) indicates acceptable but not exceptional safety; this is a mid-range rating. As with all fragrances, patch testing on a small area of skin first is recommended, especially for sensitive skin or those with fragrance sensitivities.

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 PURPLE PATCHOULI TYPE safe for daily use?+

Yes, daily use is generally safe for most consumers. However, the Grade B PSS rating indicates moderate rather than premium safety, so it is advisable to ensure good ventilation and avoid applying excessive amounts. If you have sensitive skin or a history of fragrance reactions, perform a 24-hour patch test on the inner wrist or behind the ear before regular use.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The top five ingredients all carry acceptable-to-good safety grades (6.0–8.5/10). METHYL IONONES is the highest-concentration ingredient at 7.5% and has strong safety data. No ingredient in this formula is flagged as a common allergen, though individual sensitivities vary. As with all fragrances, some people may experience mild irritation; if this occurs, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.

What does a PSS of 6.7/10 (Grade B) mean?+

The Product Safety Score (PSS) is an independent assessment of overall formulation safety. A Grade B (6.7/10) indicates the product meets safety standards and is acceptable for consumer use but does not rank in the premium safety tier (Grade A). This is a common rating for mainstream fragrances and reflects normal, expected safety with no major red flags.

The HumanSafe™ Difference
