What does Citrolate smell like?

IFF's own ingredients compendium describes it as a citrus, grapefruit note also reminiscent of the dry notes of bitter orange oil and melon, and says it is useful in colognes as a freshener to overcome the candy-sweet notes of orange and lemon oil. The molecule is the acetate of 2,4-dimethyl-3-cyclohexene-1-methanol, and unlike most citrus materials it is substantive for around twelve hours, so the grapefruit impression carries well past the opening and into the heart. That is precisely its job: a dry, bitter-peel grapefruit with a melon edge that refuses to turn sugary, holding a cologne bright long after the natural oils have gone.

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.
