What does 3-Mercaptohexan-1-ol smell like?

Sulfurous tropical thiol reading as pink grapefruit and passion fruit with guava, gooseberry and blackcurrant facets and a box-tree green underside. One of the most used sulfur materials in modern fine fragrance and the signature thiol of Sauvignon Blanc; the tenacious member of the family, dosed at ppm and below to make fruit accords smell juicy rather than candied.

Every regulatory join - IFRA, GHS, allergens - is by CAS number, and a material can supply one through its constituents as well as its own row, so of the 569 materials carrying no CAS number the 244 without a constituent table are the ones that return "nothing known" rather than "nothing applies". The blotter hours are sourced rather than measured by us, and the app labels every one of them an estimate. There is no physical chemistry on a row: no molecular weight, no vapour pressure, no boiling point. The longer answer, or the whole catalog counted.
