What does Elemi SFE smell like?

Firmenich's own supercritical CO2 extract of elemi gum (939865), described as spicy, peppery, lemony: a fresh top note with a green facet over a bottom note that evokes frankincense and pink peppercorn. Extraction at low temperature and pressure preserves the natural profile of the raw gum, so it is cleaner, more vertical and more faithful to the resin than the steam-distilled oil, with more depth behind the lemon. Firmenich position it to add a fresh note to woody, spicy and zesty perfumes, mainly masculine ones; it pairs naturally with pink pepper, cardamom and olibanum for a resinous spice opening.

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.
