Safety Assessment for Perfume & Eau de Toilette
A Cosmetic Product Safety Report for an eau de parfum, extrait, eau de toilette or cologne — where the high alcohol content removes the microbiological question and the fragrance allergen declaration becomes the whole game.

Prepared by EU-recognised, VUB-trained Safety Assessors.
Covers Part A (safety information) and Part B (expert assessment).
Written for a perfume specifically — exposure, tests and warnings to match.
Anhydrous formula: challenge and microbiological testing usually not required.
Good to know. A safety report is mandatory, but it is not the whole job. To place your perfume on the EU market you also need a CPNP notification and an EU Responsible Person — we handle both.

Safety assessment for a perfume, eau de parfum or cologne
A fine fragrance is ethanol, water and a concentrated fragrance oil. The alcohol level is high enough that microbial growth is not a realistic concern, so challenge and microbiological testing normally fall away. What takes their place is the most demanding allergen and IFRA work in cosmetics: a single fragrance accord can contain dozens of declarable substances, and Regulation (EU) 2023/1545 substantially expanded the list that must appear on the label.
You receive a full CPSR, Part A and Part B, with the allergen position worked out against your actual fragrance breakdown.
What we look at in a perfume
- Fragrance allergen declaration under Regulation (EU) 2023/1545. The amendment greatly expanded the list of substances that must be named on the label. Most existing perfume labels need reworking.
- IFRA Standards and whether your concentration sits within the limit for the product category you are selling.
- Restricted fragrance constituents under Annex III, which arrive inside the accord rather than on the ingredient list.
- Phototoxicity from citrus and bergamot components at the levels used in a leave-on alcoholic product.
- Ethanol content and denaturant, plus the flammability information the pack and transport documentation need.
What you receive
A complete Cosmetic Product Safety Report in two parts, prepared and signed by a qualified Safety Assessor:
- Part A — safety information. Composition, physicochemical characteristics and stability, microbiological quality, impurities and packaging, the exposure assessment for your perfume, the toxicological profile of every substance, and any undesirable effects.
- Part B — safety assessment. The assessor’s reasoned conclusion on whether the product is safe, together with any warnings or usage restrictions that must appear on the label.
Which laboratory tests you actually need
A perfume is normally anhydrous, and that changes the testing bill. Microbiological and challenge testing exist to address microbial growth, and microbial growth needs available water. We will tell you when you can skip them rather than sell you tests your formulation does not need.
| Test | Usually needed | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Microbiological test (ISO 17516) | Usually not | No water phase — microbial growth is not supported |
| Preservative efficacy / challenge test (ISO 11930) | Usually not | High ethanol content — the formula does not support microbial growth |
| Accelerated stability and compatibility test | Yes | Supports the shelf life and PAO you print on the pack |
| Certificate of Analysis (physicochemical) | Yes | pH, viscosity, density, appearance and odour for the CPSR |
Testing is arranged through our partner laboratories. If you already hold valid reports, we use yours — you are not asked to repeat work.
Typical required documents
This is what we normally ask for to start a perfume safety assessment. You do not need every item on day one — send what you have and we will tell you what is missing.
| Document | Needed |
|---|---|
| Full formulation with INCI names and exact percentages | Always |
| Raw material specifications and technical data sheets | Always |
| Safety data sheets for the raw materials | Always |
| Finished product specification | Always |
| Primary packaging specification (material in contact with the product) | Always |
| Manufacturing method and GMP statement (ISO 22716) | Always |
| Label artwork or draft | Always |
| Stability and packaging compatibility data | Always |
| Full fragrance breakdown or allergen certificate from the fragrance house | Always |
| IFRA conformity certificate | Always |
| Ethanol percentage and denaturant used | Always |
| Concentration category (extrait, EdP, EdT, cologne) | Always |
Why order your perfume assessment with Lexora
- Assessed as a perfume, not as a generic cosmetic. Perfume compliance is allergen and IFRA compliance. That work sits inside the fragrance house documentation, not on your ingredient list.
- EU-recognised assessors. Signed by qualified, VUB-trained Safety Assessors.
- No unnecessary testing. We tell you which tests your formulation genuinely needs and which it does not.
- Transparent pricing. Published upfront and scaled to your formula — no hourly surprises.
- End-to-end route to market. Pair it with CPNP notification and an EU Responsible Person and you are done.
No, and it is normal — accords are trade secrets. What we need is the allergen declaration and IFRA certificate, which every reputable fragrance house provides. Those are enough to complete the assessment.
Very likely. Regulation (EU) 2023/1545 expanded the list of fragrance allergens that must be declared, so labels compliant under the old list often are not under the new one. Our Allergen Labelling service reviews exactly this.
By the number of ingredients in your formula. Select the matching tier above (1–9, 10–24, 25–39 or 40+) and the price updates automatically.
A qualified Safety Assessor — a toxicologist, pharmacist or equivalent professional, EU-recognised and trained at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), as Annex I of the Regulation requires.
No. The CPSR is mandatory but not sufficient on its own. You also need a complete Product Information File, a CPNP notification and an appointed EU Responsible Person. We provide all three.
It depends on the size of the formula and how complete your documentation is. Once your intake is in we confirm a timeline — and if laboratory testing is still outstanding, that is usually what sets the pace.
Yes. The safety report is one component of the PIF. We can assemble the whole dossier, or review the one you already hold.
