Camphor

Camphor is a fragrant, waxy solid derived from the wood of the camphor laurel tree. It has a strong, penetrating, and slightly medicinal aroma with notes of menthol, eucalyptus, and pine. Camphor is prized for its use in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicines, as well as in incense and certain perfumes.

Camphor has a stimulating, invigorating effect that can help clear the mind and invigorate the senses. It is often used in fragrances to create a sense of freshness and cleanliness. Camphor-based scents are well-suited for use in the morning or during active, outdoor activities.

Camphor is commonly used as a top or middle note in fragrances, providing a refreshing, invigorating quality. It is often paired with other woody, herbal, or citrus notes to create clean, energizing scent profiles. Camphor is a key ingredient in many men's colognes and aftershaves, as well as certain unisex or fresh floral fragrances.
