What does delta-Tetradecalactone smell like?

Waxy, buttery-dairy lactone with a fatty, faintly cheesy milk body and almost no fruit, the heaviest usable delta lactone. Very quiet but extremely tenacious; lays a skin-like creamy floor under gourmand and musk bases where delta-dodecalactone still reads as peach.

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.
