What does alpha-Methylcinnamaldehyde smell like?

Sweet cinnamon and cassia spice with a warm balsamic depth, rounder and less biting than cinnamaldehyde itself. A stable modifier for cinnamon accords that holds for days on a strip; used in amber, chypre and spice bases, and IFRA-restricted in its own right.

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.
