What does (R)-(-)-Muscone smell like?

The natural deer-musk enantiomer: powerful, rich and elegant musk with warm animalic depth and a powdery, skin-like drydown. Rounder and creamier than the racemate because the (S) form is nearly odorless, so it reads roughly twice as strong per gram; sold at a premium for deer-musk reconstitutions.

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.
