What does Benzyl Mercaptan smell like?

Sharp sulfurous alliaceous note of onion, garlic and horseradish, with a minty edge and a roasted coffee facet as it thins out. A ppm-level material for coffee and savoury roasted bases, less explosively volatile than furfuryl mercaptan.

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.
