What does Lemon Terpenes smell like?

The terpene fraction drawn off when lemon oil is rectified: thin, bright lemon-peel citrus with almost none of the oil's citral body or roundness. A cheap volume-builder and top-note extender for citrus accords; it oxidises fast, so buy small and keep it cold.

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.
