Camphor
The note presents as an intensely sharp, penetrating, and highly volatile aroma, immediately striking the olfactory senses with a bracing, almost medicinal coolness. It possesses a distinct mentholic, slightly woody, and airy quality, often described as 'icy' or 'crystalline.' Its texture is not tactile but rather perceived as a crisp, clean, and almost sterile sensation. As a top note, it projects powerfully, creating an immediate, expansive aura before quickly dissipating or softening into the heart. Its longevity is moderate, lingering as a subtle, clean undertone. In higher concentrations, it can be overwhelming, even acrid, but when expertly dosed, it provides a refreshing, invigorating lift.
