What does Saffron B.Base smell like?

Moellhausen describes this base as warm, spicy and gentle, one of the simple human experiences the third BoldBases series was built around. Like every B.Base it is a building block with a deliberately narrow olfactory profile, under eight elementary components, offered for high intensity and persistency. In a formula it is the spice accent itself rather than a modifier: it carries a saffron character that would otherwise take several materials to assemble, and its gentleness means it warms a composition without the medicinal bite a raw saffron material can push through.

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.
