What does Citronellol smell like?

Soft, waxy-rosy petal note with a fresh, slightly citronella-green edge; one of the two structural pillars of every rose accord. Blends seamlessly with geraniol and PEA, and its cleanness makes it ubiquitous in functional perfumery.

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.
