What does Orris Butter (Iris germanica) smell like?

Waxy rhizome butter from Iris germanica rather than the classic pallida: alpha-irone dominant, so warmer, fleshier and more immediately powdery, with a dank rooty-earthy undertow under the usual carroty-fatty body. Sold side by side with pallida butter and chosen when an iris accord needs soil and weight instead of pallida's drier, more austere elegance.

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.
