Summary
Le Labo Bergamote 22 Eau de Parfum scores 17/100. A citrus-forward luxury EDP whose two core problems are (1) the undisclosed 'Fragrance (Parfum)' blend — Estée Lauder-owned Le Labo publishes no musk or phthalate exclusion pledge, so the hidden majority of the formula is unverifiable — and (2) cold-pressed bergamot peel oil high on the list with no stated furanocoumarin-free (FCF) grade: bergapten-class furanocoumarins are phototoxic, and fragrance lands exactly on sun-exposed skin. Five declared EU allergens (limonene, linalool, citral, geraniol, farnesol) ride along, with no antioxidant system at all to slow their oxidation into stronger sensitizers. The clean side of the ledger: no synthetic dyes, no UV filters, no BHT, and disclosed naturals (bergamot, lavender, orange-flower). Better than every mainstream designer formula; far short of full-disclosure clean brands.
Key ingredients 21
Alcohol Denat.Very Bad
Heavily flagged ingredient class under Scout's doctrine.
See more about Alcohol Denat. →Parfum (Fragrance)Very Bad
Trade-secret blanket term concealing the bulk of the formula. Le Labo (Estée Lauder-owned) publishes no exclusion pledge for polycyclic musks (Galaxolide, Tonalide) or phthalate carriers and carries no clean-beauty certification, so the blend cannot be independently verified — unlike certified brands whose pledges are vetted.

Cold-pressed bergamot peel oil contains furanocoumarins (bergapten) that are phototoxic on sun-exposed skin. The label does not state a furanocoumarin-free (FCF) grade, and fragrance is sprayed on the neck and wrists — exactly the sun-exposed zones.
