Summary
Dior Miss Dior Eau de Parfum (2021) scores 9/100. A women's chypre-floral from LVMH-owned Parfums Christian Dior. Issues: (1) fifteen IFRA / EU-declared dermal sensitizers including hydroxycitronellal (top-class sensitizer in the same family as EU-banned HICC), eugenol, anise alcohol, farnesol, benzyl cinnamate, coumarin, citral, citronellol, geraniol, linalool, limonene, benzyl salicylate, benzyl benzoate, benzyl alcohol; (2) four coal-tar synthetic dyes (Red 33, Red 4, Yellow 5, Ext. Violet 2) for the pink bottle tint — one of the highest dye counts in any women's designer fragrance; (3) avobenzone added to stabilize the dye against UV degradation; (4) undisclosed 'Parfum' trade-secret blend hiding synthetic polycyclic musks (Galaxolide/Tonalide). Tinogard TT antioxidant is the lone positive.
Key ingredients 25
Parfum (Fragrance)Very Bad
Trade-secret blanket term that legally conceals dozens to hundreds of individual aromachemicals. Designer fragrance blends almost always contain synthetic polycyclic musks (Galaxolide, Tonalide) — endocrine disruptors that bioaccumulate in human fat tissue, breast milk, and wastewater — alongside Ambroxan, Iso E Super, and historically DEP phthalate solvents. No disclosure obligation in the US.

EU 26 fragrance allergen and well-documented strong dermal sensitizer. The closely related Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde (HICC / Lyral) was banned by the EU in 2021 for the same class of sensitization issues; hydroxycitronellal itself remains restricted but is repeatedly cited in patch-test registries as a top fragrance allergen.
See more about Hydroxycitronellal →Benzyl SalicylateBad
IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen and weak photoallergen. Recent SCCS reviews have raised concerns about possible endocrine activity at typical fine-fragrance use levels.
See more about Benzyl Salicylate →LinaloolBad
IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen. Air-oxidized linalool hydroperoxides are confirmed contact sensitizers — exposure is high in spray-on fragrance.
See more about Linalool →LimoneneBad
IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen. Oxidizes on skin and in the bottle into stronger sensitizers; one of the top causes of fragrance contact dermatitis. Required label disclosure means it is present above 0.001% in this leave-on product.
See more about Limonene →Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane (Avobenzone)Bad
Chemical UV filter added to prevent fragrance discoloration in clear bottles. Documented photoallergen; mild estrogenic activity in cell and animal studies. Unnecessary in a product that isn't a sunscreen.
See more about Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane (Avobenzone) →GeraniolBad
IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen with rose-like odor. Documented skin sensitizer; oxidation products are even more reactive.
See more about Geraniol →CoumarinBad
IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen. Category 2 skin sensitizer; the EU SCCS has flagged it for cumulative exposure risk across multiple fragranced products.
See more about Coumarin →CitronellolBad
IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen. Recognized dermal sensitizer; one of the most frequently cited fragrance allergens in patch-test studies.
See more about Citronellol →Benzyl BenzoateBad
IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen and known dermal sensitizer; SCCS has flagged repeated leave-on exposure as a concern.
See more about Benzyl Benzoate →FarnesolBad
IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen with floral-musky odor. Documented dermal sensitizer.
See more about Farnesol →CitralBad
IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen with strong sensitizing potential — IFRA restricts maximum use levels in leave-on products specifically because of its high contact-allergy rate.
See more about Citral →Benzyl CinnamateBad
IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen; cinnamate-class compounds are frequent contact sensitizers.
See more about Benzyl Cinnamate →Anise AlcoholBad
IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen; documented dermal sensitizer.
See more about Anise Alcohol →Benzyl AlcoholBad
IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen with mild preservative function; contact dermatitis is documented in spray fragrances.
See more about Benzyl Alcohol →EugenolBad
IFRA / EU-declared fragrance allergen. Clove-derived; documented strong dermal sensitizer with IFRA-restricted use levels in leave-on products.

Coal-tar xanthene dye added for bottle color. Listed irritant and possible contact sensitizer in topical use per published cosmetic-safety panels. Aesthetic-only.
See more about CI 17200 (Red 33) →CI 14700 (FD&C Red 4)Bad
Coal-tar azo dye used for the bottle aesthetic. Azo dyes are a known class of contact sensitizers in topical/leave-on products and are phased out by clean-formulation brands.
See more about CI 14700 (FD&C Red 4) →CI 19140 (FD&C Yellow 5)Bad
Coal-tar azo dye (Tartrazine) added for bottle color. Frequent contact-sensitizer in topical products; aesthetic-only addition. FDA-banned in foods in California (2024) for behavioral effects.
See more about CI 19140 (FD&C Yellow 5) →CI 60730 (Ext. Violet 2)Bad
Coal-tar-derived violet dye (Ext. Violet 2) added purely for bottle aesthetics. Provides zero functional benefit on a leave-on spray product. Documented skin sensitizer in EU SCCS reports.
