What does Alpha-Ionone smell like?

Soft, sweet violet with woody-orris undertones and a subtle raspberry fruitiness, smoother and more floral than the beta isomer. Cornerstone of violet accords and a rounding agent across floral, fruity and woody compositions.

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.
