What does Cuir HF smell like?

Synarome's own page: created by Hubert Fraysse in 1926, this specialty starts with a fresh citrus top fused with sophisticated leather, and the floral and luminous heart gathers refined orris and violet notes with a spicy touch, rounded off by precious woods and musky tones. Suppliers give the same reading as a fresh bergamot top over an orris-violet spicy heart on precious woods and musk. It belongs to the range Synarome built to reproduce the birch-bark-tanned Spanish leathers, but it is the warm floral end of that range rather than the tarry one: perfumers compare it to Suederal and find it smoother, more floral and softer in the base. The house gives it a week of tenacity on the blotter, suggests low single-digit percentages, and recommends it with rose, neroli, chypre, tobacco and oud. Buyers describe it as extremely powerful and diffusive, so it is easy to overdose.

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.
