What does Lactoscatone smell like?

Symrise describe a complex animalic note reminiscent of ambergris, civet and musk laid over a rather sweet lactone accord; the datasheet lists it as animalic, white flower, civet, ambergris, and The Good Scents Company reads it at 10% as dry, animal, amber, ambergris, civet, musk. In a formula it does two jobs at once: it imparts the opulence of gardenia and tuberose while carrying the animalic weight underneath, which is why it is a standard component of civet and castoreum reconstitutions. Used at traces up to about 1 percent, and it still measures 52 hours on the blotter from a 10 percent solution.

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.
