  Refs:
gg5: stimulativeness; irritativeness
  Comments:
GG5's glosses are awkward but they're less ambiguous.
"irritant" is a substance that causes irritation. It doesn't work as a noun gloss for a 〜性 term.
I'm not seeing anything in the provided references to support the addition of a second sense.

More notes at 刺激.

Well, my intuition about 刺激 and "irritant" was evidently not correct.  While 刺激性 can by definition be the quality of any sense of 刺激, in practice it is  *especially* popular in marking a product or substance as causing an unwanted chemical/biological reaction. 

The most common real-world translation is simply "irritant". Google image search is *all* chemical irritation, allergies, immune system reactions, etc. 

pungent oder used in the context of cooking, also for intentionally-perfumed smell of natural gas. pungent things "irritate the nose", as it were.  Still a chemical impact.

Outside of senses, seems most common as 刺激性のがる... (pungent... irritating... exciting...).  As "a chemical irritant" is seems to have more direct grammatical application

For sense [2] and [3] of 刺激, converting to 刺激性 is a nearly impossible gloss. They are rarely used as it is, but "the quality of..." any of the terms over there. We could just copy/paste the whole list over.  

I have yet to find an instance where "incentive" would function as a gloss, so I've left it off.  As a noun, 刺激 alone might be read as an "incentive" if it motivates someone to action, and I've already said every term there could be copied here...  But I don't know when "incentive" would ever be translated as 刺激性.

Sense [1] does seem to have the sense of "stimulant", but only as "provokes a reaction" (a reaction that is generally undesired, hence "irritant").  I don't think there is a positive connotation here that "stimulate" would suggest (at least for [1], not so for [2]).

The use of [2] seems principally to be 刺激性のある何々, so "having stimulating qualities/stimulation, exciting qualities/excitement" seems right to me...

I'm sure you'll all have other thoughts. I've thought about as long about this as I can, this is not a perfect entry by any means.
