Why

Fragrance-free means no perfume in the ingredient list. On a label perfume shows up as Parfum or Fragrance, as essential oils, and often as named allergens like Limonene and Linalool that brands have to declare in the EU.

No, P&G Head and shoulders is not fragrance-free. It lists Parfum and 2 fragrance allergens.

Benzyl Alcohol is a preservative that can also carry scent; on its own it does not make a product fragranced.

This is not a safety warning. Perfume suits most people, but if your skin reacts or you are patch testing, this is the line you came for.
