What does Timbersilk smell like?

IFF's grade of the OTNE woods, cut to a different isomer ratio from Iso E Super and drier for it. Sanded cedar plank rather than fresh sawdust, over a soft amber warmth, with a mineral-musky floor and a thin clean lift on top. Transparent and enormously diffusive without ever being loud, which is why it takes double-digit percentages. Not a drop-in for Iso E Super: same family, different ratio, different smell. Some noses barely register the OTNE woods at all, so bench it on more than one person before judging a dose.

Restricted under IFRA. This material carries a restriction. PerfuMate checks your formula against the 51st Amendment as you build, including the same molecule arriving from several naturals at once. What that covers, and what it does not.

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.
