What does Valencial FCC smell like?

Bedoukian describe Valencial as "Aldehydic with peely, orange, waxy notes", their fuller listing adding fatty, waxy citrus peel with hints of cilantro. The Good Scents Company give "citrus metallic mandarin orange waxy aldehydic" at high odour strength, recommend smelling it at one percent or less, and record a blotter life of 72 hours at ten percent in dipropylene glycol. It smells of the zest itself rather than the juice: a slightly metallic mandarin peel that is oily and green-fatty underneath. A trace at the top of a citrus accord makes the fruit read as freshly grated instead of distilled, and it lends a natural, faintly herbal cilantro edge to mandarin, coriander and neroli work. It is powerful and fatty enough to turn heavy and greasy fast if overdosed, so it belongs in the traces.

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.
