What does Oakmoss absolute smell like?

Evernia prunastri lichen absolute: profound forest-floor odor of damp earth, bark, seashore and ink with leathery-phenolic depth; the irreplaceable foundation of the chypre and fougere families. Strictly IFRA-restricted for atranol/chloroatranol - modern low-atranol qualities exist and should be specified.

What is Oakmoss absolute made of?

An estimated breakdown, not a certificate of analysis, and it is what PerfuMate sums when it checks a formula: a molecule arriving from three naturals at once is counted once rather than missed three times. Paste your own supplier analysis and it takes over.

Restricted under IFRA. This material carries a restriction. PerfuMate checks your formula against the current standard as you build, including the same molecule arriving from several naturals at once.

Which materials are closest to Oakmoss absolute?

Ranked by how many olfactive sub-categories they share with Oakmoss absolute, not alphabetically.

How much does PerfuMate know about one material?

What this page carries, beside what the whole catalog carries. Every figure on the right is counted from the file the app ships, at the moment this page was built, so it cannot drift from the product the way a sentence somebody typed would.

And the limits, because they decide how far the rest can be trusted. 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 428 materials carrying no CAS number the 127 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.
