Ingredient review
Fragrance Blend F.I.L. b36750/1
INCI: Parfum / Fragrance
A generic fragrance blend that adds scent but may cause irritation in sensitive skin—check for individual allergen listings.
In plain English
This is a catch-all term for a mixture of scented ingredients (often essential oils or synthetic aroma chemicals) that gives a product its smell. Because the exact formula is proprietary, you won't know which specific fragrance compounds are inside unless the brand lists them separately. Some of these compounds, like limonene or linalool, can be irritating or allergenic for certain people.
