  Gives the product its scent, or masks a base odour.

What we tell people

• Contains fragrance

  This product contains fragrance. Fragrance is one of the more common causes of contact irritation, which is why many people prefer to avoid it.

  Why: Fragrance is the most frequently cited preference in cosmetics, and "parfum" on a label can cover many undisclosed components.

• Declared fragrance allergen

  This product declares one or more of the fragrance substances that EU labelling rules require to be named individually.

  Why: Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 requires certain fragrance substances to be named on the label above a threshold. Their presence is a labelling fact, not a prediction that anybody will react.

  Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, Annex III — fragrance substances subject to individual labelling

  Must be named individually on the label above 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products.
