What does Plicatone smell like?

The Good Scents Company describes it as a natural herbal, woody and fruity note that recalls artemisia, pine, juniper berry and cedar, over a slightly fruity undertone, and rates its odour strength as medium. In a formula it acts as a herbal-woody bridge: one material carries both the artemisia and juniper facet of an aromatic top and the cedar facet of a dry woody base, so it links the two without adding a raw herb oil. It is a Firmenich captive ketone, colourless, boiling around 271 to 272 degrees C, which puts its persistence in the heart rather than 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.
