Camphor ct camphor essential oil
Cinnamomum camphora ct. camphor
Long não · Lauraceae
Sharp, penetrating, cold at the top and then warming. It enters the nose very quickly and has almost no layer other than itself.
This chemotype is rich in camphor, the compound an entire group of smells is named after. The same species, Cinnamomum camphora, also gives a linalool chemotype from the wood and a 1,8-cineole chemotype from the leaves that the market calls ravintsara. Three bottles, one species, three smells that cannot replace one another.
Many people think of mothballs in the wardrobe when they hear the word camphor. Today those are usually naphthalene or another synthetic rather than camphor, so the wardrobe and this bottle are less alike than people assume.
