What does Florex smell like?

A very powerful and tenacious balsamic, Tonka-like note with a unique tangy quality. It has a sweet yet tart character that suggests tobacco and coconut with a green nuance. In a formula it works as a long-lasting sweet-balsamic base that carries a coumarinic tonka signature without the hay-like flatness of coumarin itself, and it holds up across white floral, citrus and fruity compositions where it lends warmth and persistence from underneath.

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.
