What does Geosmin smell like?

Petrichor itself: wet earth after the first rain on a dry field, beetroot skin, damp cellar air. Deceptively soft in a 1% smelling - and one of the most potent odorants known (threshold in parts per trillion), a drop or two carries an entire formula. Trace use only, or everything turns dusty.

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.
