Frequently Asked Questions
Is Guidance Perfume Spray safe for daily use?+
The Grade B PSS score suggests this product is suitable for many daily users; however, safety depends on individual skin sensitivity. Apply a small amount to an inconspicuous area first and observe for 24–48 hours. Those with known fragrance sensitivities or reactive skin should perform a patch test before regular use.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
All five primary ingredients carry safety grade A ratings. However, Ambroxan comprises 15% of the formula—a significant concentration. While this synthetic compound has established safety data in fragrance use, individuals with known sensitivities to synthetic musks should exercise caution and consult product labeling for full ingredient disclosure.
What does a PSS of 6.7/10 (Grade B) mean?+
The PSS (Product Safety Score) of 6.7/10 is a third-party safety assessment placing Guidance Perfume Spray in Grade B—moderate safety performance. This rating reflects the combined profile of all ingredients and formulation factors. Grade B products are generally acceptable for typical consumers but may warrant extra caution for those with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies.
