About Camphor Essential Oil

Camphor essential oil is obtained by steam-distilling the wood of Cinnamomum camphora, a stately evergreen native to East Asia. The crude distillate is fractionated, and the white fraction we carry is the portion used in perfumery and craft scenting.

The aroma is sharp, clean, and intensely cooling, with a dry woody backdrop. In fragrance work camphor acts like an exclamation point: tiny amounts snap a blend awake and give lift to lavender, rosemary, citrus, and conifer notes.

Camphor belongs to the fragrance and craft shelf: wardrobe sachets, closet fresheners, artisan candle blends, and room sprays with an old-apothecary character. It is a strong oil, so measure in drops, keep dilutions low in any project that touches skin, and store it well away from children and pets.
