Profile

Camphene is curated in this catalog as a piney material, with a secondary reading of camphoraceous.

On the strip it reads camphoraceous pine.

It is registered under CAS 79-92-5.

The catalog records an average working dose of 9% Max%, which is a starting point for a trial rather than a limit.

How it behaves

volatility index 0.78 · the opening

A boiling point of 154.4 °C and a molecular weight of 136.23 g/mol give Camphene a volatility index of 0.78, which places it in the opening of a composition.

It leaves the strip early and does its work in the first minutes, before the heart arrives.

The index runs from 0 for a material that barely leaves the strip to 1 for one that flashes off, and it is computed from boiling point and molecular weight. Inside a real formula the surrounding materials shift where the boundaries fall, so a material can read differently there than it does here.

Questions about Camphene

What does Camphene smell like?

Camphene reads as piney and camphoraceous, described in the catalog as camphoraceous pine.

Is Camphene a top, heart or base note?

Camphene sits in the opening. Its volatility index of 0.78 is computed from a boiling point of 154.4 °C and a molecular weight of 136.23 g/mol, rather than assigned by hand. It leaves the strip early and does its work in the first minutes, before the heart arrives.

How much Camphene should I use?

The catalog records an average working dose of 9% Max% for Camphene. Treat that as the starting point for a trial: the right dose depends on what else is in the formula and what you want it to do there.

What can I use instead of Camphene?

The closest materials in this catalog by olfactive profile and physical behaviour are alpha-Pinene (84.3% match), beta-Pinene (83.1% match) and l-Limonene (71.7% match). Closeness is scored on descriptor taxonomy and on measured properties, so the nearest match is the one that behaves most like Camphene. Ranking ignores price.
