What does Perfumer's ethanol smell like?

High-purity (95-96%) denatured ethanol, the standard carrier of fine fragrance: flashes off quickly and cleanly to present the perfume without odor of its own. Quality matters, use fragrance-grade denaturants (e.g., IPA or Bitrex types) since harsh denaturants taint top notes.

And the limits, because they decide how far the rest can be trusted. 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 428 materials carrying no CAS number the 127 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.
