What does Costus Root Essential Oil smell like?

Extraordinary animalic-vegetal note of unwashed hair, wet dog, old wood and orris-like fattiness; nothing else smells remotely like it. PROHIBITED by IFRA as a sensitizer (untreated qualities); modern work relies on traces of treated grades or costus-type reconstitutions.

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.
