What does Geogaia smell like?

A Givaudan captive launched 21 April 2023 into the Gaia collection. The house describes it as petrichor, the smell that comes from the ground when rain falls after a dry period, and says it brings green, earthy and watery tonalities to a fragrance. It is 100% biodegradable. In consumer testing 81% detected an after the rain effect in compositions carrying it at significant levels, so it is weighed as a real accord rather than a trace signature. In a formula it is the wet-soil bridge between a green top and a woody or mossy base, and it sits alongside Phytogaia, built around the forest tree, and Thalassogaia, built around the marine environment.

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.
