Uses

Uses in perfumery :

Camphor is used for a fresh and terpenic effect in all types of compositions.

Year of discovery :

1904

Natural availability :

Camphor is found in many plants such as basil (camphorated chemotype), camphor sage and Cardamom EO among others. The Camphor tree HE (same species as HoWood EO) remains its main source in its natural state.

Isomerism :

There are two enantiomers of Camphor, both very present in nature. The most common is Camphor (+), dextrorotatory. It is very often this one that is used in perfumery. Citral and Isocyclocitral® are constitutional isomers of Camphor. Their smell is however very different: one is citraly, the other is green.

Synthesis precursor :

Camphor is an intermediate in the synthesis of Camphene and Borneol, among others.

Synthesis route :

Camphor is produced by a fractional distillation of Camphor Leaf EO. Its synthesis is made by dehydration of isoborneol, which has been synthesized from Isobornyl acetate. This dehydrogenation is done thanks to a copper catalysis.
