Fragrance allergen reference
Generic regulatory reference only. This is not a supplier allergen declaration, measured composition, allergen-free claim or finished-product labelling assessment.
Raw-material reference based on recorded CAS numbers. A CAS match identifies a reference entry; it does not verify the supplied grade, composition, purity or finished-product compliance. Naturals, bases and mixtures require composition review.
European Union / Northern Ireland
No direct listed-entry CAS match in this jurisdiction’s held reference set. This does not mean the material is allergen-free. Constituents, grouped entries and natural-material composition may require further review.
Finished-cosmetic declaration thresholds: greater than 0.001% leave-on; greater than 0.01% rinse-off. Apply the current target-market rules to the actual complete formulation; no concentration is inferred here.

Documentation Supply PolicyIFRA formulation guide
Generic reference only — not an IFRA certificate, compliance decision or use recommendation. The Responsible Person and qualified safety assessor must assess the actual finished formula using current applicable IFRA Standards, supplementary documentation where available and the CPSR.
Raw-material reference based on recorded CAS numbers. A CAS match identifies a reference entry; it does not verify the supplied grade, composition, purity or finished-product compliance. Naturals, bases and mixtures require composition review.

No direct IFRA overview entry matched the recorded CAS in this held dataset. This does not mean unrestricted use, absence of relevant Standards or compliance. Constituent restrictions may still apply.

Creative ideas to explore
Creative directions, not tested formulas.Petals and peel
With bergamot and a light citrus ideaExplore a brighter version of the floral character using a simple citrus counterpoint. Compare it with the unchanged flower accord and note whether the citrus frames the bloom or becomes the main subject of the sketch.
Stem and blossom
With geranium and leafy notesSketch the flower with a greener setting, keeping leaf and blossom as distinct ideas. Compare a clean floral reference with the greener version to decide how much of the imagined stem and garden belongs in the composition.
Petals over wood
With a transparent wood directionPlace the floral material against a spare wood backdrop and follow the balance through the evaluation. Try a softer wood variation separately, then choose whether your flower needs an open, airy setting or a smoother, more enveloping frame.
