What does Orris Root Tincture smell like?

Dried orris rhizome macerated in ethanol and chill-filtered: a soft, dusty violet-rooty iris with earthy and faintly suede-sweet facets, far quieter than butter or resinoid but with the same slow, powdery fixative pull. An artisan staple poured in generously as the fixative bed of a natural composition, where it rounds floral and fruity accords; the powdery character takes over the whole formula if overdosed.

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.
