What does Indole smell like?

Mothball-fecal in concentration yet luminous and narcotic in dilution: the molecule that gives jasmine, orange blossom and tuberose their living animal breath. Essential in trace amounts for realistic white florals and animalic accords; discolors formulas over time.

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.
