Frequently Asked Questions

Is Apple Brandy On The Rocks safe for daily use?+

For most consumers, yes—the PSS score of 7.2/10 (Grade A-) suggests this fragrance is suitable for regular application. However, daily use should be limited to small amounts on pulse points to minimize alcohol exposure. Those with sensitive, reactive, or compromised skin should consult a dermatologist before daily use.

Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+

The primary ingredient is ALCOHOL DENAT., which is a denaturated alcohol used as a solvent in fragrances. While essential for the format, alcohol can irritate sensitive skin or trigger reactions in individuals with certain conditions. Additionally, LINALYL ACETATE and an unresolved organic compound are present; patch testing on a small skin area first is recommended to rule out personal sensitivity.

What does a PSS of 7.2/10 (Grade A-) mean?+

The Product Safety Score (PSS) is an independent assessment of overall ingredient safety and formulation risk. A score of 7.2/10 with Grade A- indicates above-average safety, but not risk-free. It means the product has been evaluated for common allergens, irritants, and toxic concerns, and poses no severe hazard for most users when used as directed—though individual sensitivity varies.
