What does Galaxolide 50% IPM smell like?

The 50% cut of Galaxolide in isopropyl myristate, sold as its own article beside the neat material. IFF's description carried by Perfumer's Apprentice: a clean, powerful and versatile iso-chroman musk having exceptional persistence and a superb fragrance quality approaching the tone of macrocyclic musks. Supplier odour tags are musk, floral, woody, clean; ScenTree reads the musk itself as musky with berry and milky facets and calls it one of the freshest and headiest musks. It gives bloom, lift and longevity and holds a blotter past two days. IPM is an odourless, non-discolouring, skin-friendly carrier, so this grade is dosed straight from the bottle at roughly twice the weight of neat Galaxolide.

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.
