Frequently Asked Questions
Is Cologne 352 safe for daily use?+
Cologne 352's Grade B PSS score suggests it is acceptable for regular fragrance application by most adults. However, daily use depends on individual skin sensitivity. If you have reactive or compromised skin, start with limited application and monitor for irritation. Always ensure adequate ventilation when applying fragrances.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
The primary ingredient, Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes (a synthetic musk), represents 20% of the formula. While safety-rated, synthetic musks can accumulate in the body with prolonged, heavy exposure. Individuals with fragrance sensitivities, asthma, or migraines should patch-test first and consider limiting frequency of use.
What does a PSS of 6.8/10 (Grade B) mean?+
The Product Safety Score (PSS) is an independent assessment of overall fragrance safety based on ingredient profiles and concentrations. A Grade B (6.8/10) indicates the product meets standard safety expectations for cosmetic fragrances but is not in the highest safety tier. It is suitable for typical consumer use with standard precautions (patch testing, avoiding contact with eyes and broken skin).
