A powerfully herbaceous and dominant camphoreous note. This high camphor content imparts a fresh, medicinal, and penetrating quality that separates Rosemary (ct Camphor) Oil from other chemotypes. Often sourced as Rosemary oil spain, its scent profile contains woody and balsamic undertones with minty and slightly phenolic facets. The chemical composition is defined by a high concentration of camphor, often between 15-25%, alongside significant levels of 1,8-cineole, camphene, and alpha-pinene, which together create its classic stimulating and aromatic character.
For the perfumer, its primary function is to introduce a bright, medicinal top and middle note, particularly effective in fougère and cologne structures. It adds a clean, invigorating lift to functional fragrances for soaps and air care products. Due to its intensity, it is recommended for use at low dosages, often below one percent, to avoid an overly medicinal character. This oil's sharp profile is balanced well when combined with the citrus of Bergamot or the crispness of Eucalyptus and Fir. Its woody aspects connect with Cedarwood, while its medicinal notes find synergy with Frankincense and Tea Tree.
