What does Palisandal smell like?

Symrise describes it as warm and woody in a cedar direction but slightly camphoraceous, with a distinct patchouli note and ambergris nuances; Moellhausen reads the same molecule as soft woody like cedar, weak amber, balsamic, with a patchouli note. Odour strength is medium but the blotter life is very long, around 284 hours neat, so it works as a quiet structural base woody that carries the drydown and bridges cedar to patchouli without shouting over the rest of 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.
