The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) establishes scientifically grounded threshold limits ensuring scents are safe for consumer and commercial use worldwide.
Categorical usage thresholds across fragrance formats
IFRA classifies products into defined categories (Category 4 for fine fragrance, Category 10A for household sprays, Category 10B for reed diffusers) with distinct maximum allowable concentrations.
Restricted components—such as specific aldehydes, coumarin and oakmoss extracts—are strictly quantified to prevent sensitization.
Ensuring frictionless international market entry
Customs authorities and tier-one retailers across the EU, US and GCC demand valid IFRA Certificates and SDS documentation before clearance.
GUSSO Parfüm formulates exclusively with certified, IFRA-compliant fragrance compounds.
To maximize fragrance longevity and sillage, apply right after a shower onto hydrated pulse points (neck, inner wrists, and inner elbows). Avoid rubbing wrists together as it crushes delicate top notes.
