Camphor, derived from the wood of the Cinnamomum camphora tree, is a fresh, pungent note in perfumery known for its cooling, medicinal, and slightly woody aroma. Camphor has a long history of use in traditional medicine and is often used in perfumery to evoke a sense of freshness, clarity, and crispness. It is commonly used in aromatic, herbal, and green compositions.

Camphor has a sharp, clean, and slightly medicinal aroma with woody, minty, and herbal undertones. Its scent is cooling and invigorating, with a fresh, almost eucalyptus-like quality that can evoke a sense of crispness and clarity. The overall profile is bright and powerful, adding a refreshing, slightly mentholated depth to perfumes. Camphor enhances fragrances with a cool, sharp edge, bringing an energetic and cleansing quality to the composition.
