Short profile
A forceful camphoraceous opening combines medicinal pungency with a distinctly cold freshness. Its character is hard and sharp, rather than soft, with woody and herbal nuances beneath the dominant camphor note. The supplier presents it as an assertive, volatile top-note material; no separate heart or dry-down observations, or timed blotter evolution, are supplied.
Effect in a formula
Adds a strongly defined cold accent to the opening, with herbal and medicinal inflections that sharpen aromatic structures. It reinforces lavender and rosemary themes and is suited to fougère, chypre and aromatic masculine compositions. Its freshness is described as having a perceptible cooling dimension as well as an olfactory one.
Use and dosage
The supplier gives 0.1–1% of the fragrance concentrate as a typical range, particularly for fougères, herbal-aromatic compositions and cold opening accents. A few tenths of a percent are generally described as sufficient; stronger dosing should be reserved for a deliberately medicinal contrast, since the composition can readily take on a cold-remedy character. These are formulation recommendations, not IFRA limits.
