Borneol is a naturally occurring bicyclic monoterpene alcohol found in many essential oils such as camphor and rosemary. It is valued for its fresh, camphoraceous, and slightly minty aroma profile. In perfumery, it adds a cooling, clean, and herbal nuance to compositions. The material is also widely used in traditional medicine, flavoring, and aromatic formulations. Borneol contributes brightness and freshness to herbal, woody, and medicinal accords.
