What does p-Methoxycinnamaldehyde smell like?

Warm sweet spicy-anisic aldehyde with a deep balsamic-cinnamon body and none of cinnamal's harsh bite. Gives amber and gourmand accords a rich cinnamon warmth that sits under the composition rather than shouting from the top.

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.
