White camphor oil is hardly used as such in perfumes, but it serves as a starting material for the isolation and production of a great number of perfumery chemicals: cineole, pinene, terpineol, para-cymene, menthol, thymol, etc.
This oil is produced by fractional distillation of the camphor-free oil, filter-pressed from the crude camphor oil. The latter is a natural oil, steam distilled from the wood of the Hon-Sho camphor tree in Formosa and Japan.
