What does Valerian Root Essential Oil smell like?

Musty rooty earth with a sour cheesy-animalic funk from free isovaleric acid, resting on a warm camphoraceous-balsamic bornyl acetate body. Funkier and more sweat-driven than spikenard, which is drier and spicier; a trace-level fixative that gives leather, chypre and amber bases a living, unwashed depth.

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.
