What does Geranium Absolute (Pelargonium graveolens) smell like?

Solvent-extracted geranium leaf: an intense leafy-earthy green with a rich rosy-minty undertone behind it, much darker and heavier than the steam-distilled oil, which leads rosy instead. Carries the tenacious green and rose alcohols distillation leaves behind, so it reads as crushed geranium foliage rather than a rose top-up. Use in chypres, fougeres and rose hearts that need a dense green body the oil cannot give.

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.
