Symrise classify it citrus, floral and waxy; TGSC files it under the floral odour type and describes it as citrus-like, reminiscent of lemon peel with waxy and metallic nitrile-like shades, with muguet, lily and sweet facets behind. In a formula it is the stable way to hold a lemon-peel brightness inside a muguet or white-floral heart, and its nitrile backbone keeps it working in body lotion, shampoo, soap and cleaning bases where a citrus aldehyde would not survive. It is the saturated relative of citronitrile, a colourless to pale yellow liquid boiling above three hundred degrees, so despite the citrus reading it behaves as a heart material rather than a top note.

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
558 materials carrying no CAS number the 257 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.
