Borneol

About

Borneol is a camphoraceous, piney-woody monoterpene alcohol with a cool, resinous, slightly minty and medicinal odor—drier and softer than camphor—evoking frosted conifers, incense smoke, and antique apothecaries. Used sparingly, it lends lift and chilly radiance to aromatic fougères, coniferous and incense accords, sharpening herbal and citrus facets while aerating heavy balsams and woods; it pairs especially well with lavender, rosemary, pine, fir, cedar, patchouli, labdanum, and frankincense.
