D-Fenchone is a common scent ingredient because it smells fresh, like camphor, and like herbs. It adds a clean, cool note that makes aromatic, woody, and minty notes in perfumes and colognes stronger. It goes well with Linalool, Terpineol, and Eugenol, which makes fragrance compositions brighter and more complex in a natural way.
