Derived from coal tar, this smells like camphor and mothballs when pure, and gives a fecal scent to enhance the intensity and depth of jasmine perfumes to make these fragrances smell more like the real flower.

Keep in mind that chamomile may not work the same way for everyone, so always contact with your doctor before beginning any medical treatment plan.
