Why This Score

Four of five primary ingredients score A or A+ on the Ingredient Safety Scale (ISS), including Ethylene Brassylate and 1,4-Dioxacycloheptadecane-5,17-Dione, both rated 10.0/10.
Overall Product Safety Score of 7.4/10 (Grade A-) indicates this fragrance meets established safety benchmarks for eau de parfum formulations.
Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes comprises 30% of the formula; while rated grade A (ISS 6.5/10), synthetic musks at high concentrations warrant a standard precaution to patch-test before full application, especially for sensitive 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 Amber Oud Type safe for daily use?+

Yes, the PSS score of 7.4/10 supports daily use for most consumers. However, frequency and application amount should be adjusted to individual tolerance. If you have sensitive or reactive skin, start with light application and monitor for any irritation or sensitization over time.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The primary concern is Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes (a synthetic musk), which makes up 30% of the formula. While it meets safety standards, synthetic musks can accumulate in skin with repeated exposure and may trigger sensitivity in some individuals. Patch-testing on a small area first is advisable, especially if you have a history of fragrance sensitivities.

What does a PSS of 7.4/10 (Grade A-) mean?+

The Product Safety Score (PSS) is an independent assessment of overall safety based on ingredient profiles and concentration levels. A Grade A- rating indicates the product is well-formulated and safe for consumer use under normal conditions. This is a strong score that places Amber Oud Type in the upper tier of fragrance safety.

The HumanSafe™ Difference
