What does Proflora smell like?

The Good Scents Company gives a sweet, balsamic odour with a tea-like quality and natural connotations, carrying tuberose and chocolate nuances; Perfumer's Apprentice sell it on the shorter reading balsam, fruity, chocolate, ylang, tea and file it as gourmand-balsamic. It is a quiet rounder rather than a statement note, warming white florals from underneath and laying a cocoa and tea shadow beneath fruit. Substantive at 96 hours neat on the blotter, so it works as a low-key fixative; usable up to 15 percent of the concentrate.

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.
