What does d-Citronellol smell like?

The dextro isomer leads with a citronella-green, geranium-like edge before the rosy petal body opens, over a waxy-oily base. Drier and coarser than the laevo form that dominates rose oil, so it suits geranium and functional rose work more than a fine rose heart.

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.
