What does Fir Balsam B.Base smell like?

Moellhausen calls it sound and charmingly intense, with toasted-sugary shades that read as warm and nostalgic rather than sharp or terpenic. It is a compounded fir balsam accord, so it brings the balsamic-coniferous body of the raw material already sweetened and rounded, working as a warm resinous foundation under woody and gourmand structures where a raw conifer extract would sit too green and too volatile.

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.
