What does Pelargene smell like?

Givaudan's wording is a powerful geranium character, reminiscent of crushed leaves, adding substantivity and body particularly to floral fragrances and especially to rose and geranium. It is a mixture of three phenyl pyrans rather than one molecule. What it does in a formula is structural rather than decorative: it holds a rose or geranium accord open with a bruised green leaf that keeps the flower from going syrupy, and it is genuinely tenacious for a green material, several weeks on the blotter, so it also functions as body under the whole floral heart. Powerful enough that Givaudan caps it at 2 percent, and it blooms strongly in soap and alkaline bases.

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.
