Frequently Asked Questions
Is L'eau Des Hesperides safe for daily use?+
For most users, yes—the Grade B rating suggests it is suitable for regular application as an eau de parfum. However, if you have sensitive skin or a history of fragrance reactions, start with limited use (e.g., wrists or clothing only) and monitor for irritation. Discontinue if redness, itching, or allergic reactions develop.
Are there any ingredients I should watch out for?+
D-LIMONENE (17.5%) is the primary concern. This citrus-derived ingredient can trigger contact dermatitis or allergic reactions in sensitized individuals. If you have known citrus sensitivities or reactive skin, avoid direct skin contact or perform a patch test first. All other primary ingredients carry solid safety grades.
What does a PSS of 6.5/10 (Grade B) mean?+
The PSS (Product Safety Score) of 6.5/10 places L'eau Des Hesperides in Grade B, indicating moderate safety for a fragrance product. This score reflects ingredient composition, concentration, and known hazard data; it does not mean the product is unsafe, but rather that it carries typical fragrance-related risks (e.g., sensitization potential) that warrant standard precautions like patch testing and avoiding eye contact.
