What does Narcisse Base smell like?

Perfumer Supply House describes it as a sweet, heavy, narcotic green floral with fruity and herbaceous aspects, also honey-like and animalic, reminiscent of daffodils, jasmine and tuberose. Suppliers carrying the same Firmenich base report a sharp green, snapped-stem opening that settles into a narcotic white-floral heart where narcissus meets jasmine and tuberose, then dries down honeyed and faintly animalic with a mossy, chypre-like cast. In a formula it is the floral heart itself: it will carry a narcissus soliflore on its own, adds narcotic weight and tenacity to orientals and chypres, and pairs naturally with coumarin in fougeres through its hay-like facet.

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.
