What does Fleur de Cuir smell like?

Osmanthus flowers co-distilled into a molecular distillation of cedarwood oil. The supplier describes a sophisticated leather scent with prominent oud-like character, combining delicate osmanthus florals with apricot fruitiness over a refined cedarwood backbone. It lasts more than 240 hours on a strip and the house advises using it boldly: one natural material that supplies a leathery-floral base where a formula would otherwise need an osmanthus absolute, a cedar and a leather accord, and it is where the oud-like impression comes from without any agarwood.

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.
