What does Oxalide T smell like?

The Good Scents Company gives the odour as "sweet musk oily fruity animal floral" at medium strength, with a blotter life of 316 hours at full concentration, and carries the maker's description, "Sweet, soft and tenacious animal-musky". The material is 10-oxahexadecanolide, an oxa-macrolide musk, and it reads as a warm, round, clean-but-animal musk with an oily fruity edge, quite unlike the laundry-clean signature of the nitrile and polycyclic musks. Takasago positions it as a material that gives body and richness to floral, woody and amber accords while contributing a very clean and soft musk note. In practice it is a base-note rounder and fixative: it fills the hollow under a composition and softens rough edges over a very long drydown without ever announcing itself as the musk in the formula.

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.
