A waxy alcohol compound found naturally in camphor trees and some plants, used in perfumes, medicine, and organic synthesis.
From Borneo (where it was first discovered or sourced) + -ol (suffix for alcohols in chemistry). Renamed despite origins in other regions.
Borneol is the refined cousin of camphor—smell some and you'll understand why it's been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years!
