Word: Camphoric
Wednesday's word is...
...camphoric.
1. pertaining to or derived from camphor.
That's not helpful because I don't know that I know and/or remember what camphor is like. This was one of my prompts in my last Yahtzee roll. I was mainly interested in how it's used. And I discovered it is mainly perfume descriptions:
As soon as I sprayed it on I felt the presence of the original, in the heavy, bitter almond opening standing in for that famous camphoric tuberose-anise-incense blast.
Facing Down the Beast: Dior Hypnotic Poison, Marina Geigert, 2009
Narcissus is here, but it's the earthy, almost camphoric kind, not the sweeter type.
