What does Vanilla Complex Natural smell like?

Specified by Advanced Biotech as a colourless to yellow liquid with an odour characteristic of vanilla. It is neither vanilla absolute nor vanillin but a compounded natural complex, and the spec puts its alcohol content at 76 to 84 percent by volume, with a boiling point of 78 C and a flash point around 16 C, which tells you almost the whole story: this is a vanilla character carried in ethanol, pale rather than dark, and weak per gram compared with an absolute. In a formula it gives a clean rounded vanilla without the smoky, phenolic and resinous weight that a bean absolute brings, and without the flat single-note quality of vanillin alone. Because it is already four-fifths alcohol it is used neat and it contributes ethanol to the batch, which matters when the concentration is being computed. Twelve-month shelf life, so it is not a bottle to buy ahead.

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.
