What does Herbac smell like?

The Good Scents Company classes the odour type as thujonic at medium strength and describes it as woody, herbal, cedar leaf, thujone and minty, adding that it is powerful, with camphor, earthy, eucalyptus, wet and minty facets. The molecule is 1-(3,3-dimethylcyclohexyl)ethanone, a ketone that reads like the dry resinous top of cedarleaf oil without the oil's weight or its bitterness. In a formula it is an aromatic and fougere worker: it sharpens lavender and sage, carries a cool camphoraceous lift down into a woody base, and a small dose gives an outdoor, crushed-herb impression that holds through the heart.

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.
