What does Teak smell like?

Perfumer's Apprentice list it in the woody family with the odour given as woody and ambery, and describe it as a fresh, light, crisp teak blend from Firmenich. It is a compounded house base carrying a mixture CAS rather than a single molecule, currently supplied as version 109955 GRF17 after the earlier version was discontinued in 2023. In a formula it is a dry sawn-timber woody-amber that reads lighter and crisper than a sandalwood or oud base, useful as the woody spine of a masculine or a modern fougere where a creamy wood would sit too heavy.

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 540 materials carrying no CAS number the 248 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.
