Why This Score

✔Ambroxan (15.0%) is a well-established fragrance ingredient with a strong safety grade (A), commonly used in fine fragrances for its warm, amber-like character.
✔Linalyl Acetate (5.0%) is a naturally derived ester found in many florals and fruits, with a solid safety rating (A) and a long history of safe use in cosmetics.
⚠The fragrance contains synthetic polycyclic compounds (tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes and related octahydro derivatives) at relatively high concentrations (20.0–17.5%). While safety-graded, skin sensitivity or photosensitivity reactions are possible in susceptible individuals; patch testing before regular use is recommended.

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 Apple Brandy On The Rocks safe for daily use?+

The fragrance carries a Grade B safety rating and is generally appropriate for daily use in typical consumers. However, because it contains significant concentrations of polycyclic synthetic compounds, a patch test on a small area of skin for 24–48 hours is advisable before committing to regular wear. If no irritation develops, daily use is generally safe.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The main components of concern are tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes and related octahydro derivatives, which make up over one-third of the formula. These are established fragrance materials but can trigger sensitivity, redness, or photosensitivity in some individuals. If you have a history of fragrance sensitivities or reactive skin, consult a dermatologist before use.

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

The Product Safety Score (PSS) of 6.7/10 reflects an independent safety assessment across all ingredients and their concentrations. Grade B indicates a moderate safety profile—neither top-tier nor of concern, but warranting standard precautions like patch testing. It means the fragrance is broadly safe but not risk-free for all users.

The HumanSafe™ Difference

Most safety tools rate ingredients in isolation — one score regardless of concentration, context, or how the product is used. We assess at actual use concentration.
