A dry, woody-camphoraceous aroma chemical with a soft musky-amber undertone. Reminiscent of cedarwood and vetiver facets, with a subtle cool camphor lift on top that settles into a warm, slightly powdery woody base. Used as a modifier to give volume and warmth to woody and chypre compositions.AI · claude-opus-4-7
