Fenhil-alkohol

Dry, earthy-camphoraceous with a subtle, pine-like warmth. Fenchyl alcohol smells like old wooden furniture in a mountain cabin — dry, resinous, slightly medicinal.

U parfemima
Background modifier in woody, herbal, and camphoraceous compositions. Fenchyl alcohol adds dry, earthy-woody depth at low concentrations. It appears naturally in many essential oils (fennel, basil, pine) and contributes to their woody-herbal backbone. Rarely used as an isolate in fine perfumery. More common in functional fragrance and as a component of essential oil blends.
