What does Tolu Absolute Replacer 50% smell like?

Sweet balsamic with a cinnamyl heart over amber, spicy, fruity and woody depth. It is a compounded synthetic stand-in for tolu balsam absolute, and the supplier rates its cinnamic heart as arguably nicer than the natural. Its reason to exist is colour: natural tolu is intensely dark brown, this is a pale golden liquid, so it carries balsamic warmth into compositions a dark absolute would ruin, with no supply-chain risk behind it. Sold already cut to half strength in triethyl citrate, which makes an otherwise unpourable material easy to weigh.

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.
