Arctander describes it as: “very powerful, diffusive, woody-camphoraceous odor, slightly earthy, yet with some resemblance to orris root, overall very dry.” and says that it “finds extensive use in perfumery, at low concentration, for its power, soap stability and compatibility with ionones, lavandin oil, etc.”
