Why This Score

Ethylene Brassylate (30.0%) is a synthetic musk compound with excellent safety marks (ISS 10.0/10), commonly used in fine fragrances with a strong track record of dermal tolerance.
1,4-Dioxacycloheptadecane-5,17-dione (25.0%) is a polycyclic musk fragrance ingredient rated A+ (ISS 10.0/10) and widely used in commercial perfumery without significant safety concerns.
Tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes comprise 40% of the formula. While rated grade A (ISS 6.5/10), this high concentration of a polycyclic aromatic compound warrants patch testing before full-face application, particularly for sensitive or reactive skin.

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 Old Bond Street safe for daily use?+

For most people, yes—the PSS grade A- indicates solid safety margins. However, because polycyclic aromatics make up a large share of the formula, daily use on sensitive skin may require a patch test first. Apply to pulse points rather than large areas if you have a history of fragrance reactions.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The primary concern is tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes at 40% concentration. This polycyclic aromatic is safety-rated but present in high levels; if you have reactive skin, photosensitivity, or fragrance sensitivities, perform a small patch test on the inner arm before wearing on the neck or face.

What does a PSS of 7.5/10 (Grade A-) mean?+

PSS (Product Safety Score) is an independent safety assessment on a 10-point scale. Grade A- at 7.5/10 means Old Bond Street meets strong safety standards and is suitable for general consumer use, though it is not rated in the highest tier. This score reflects the combined risk profile of all ingredients and their concentrations.

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.
