It is a colorless oil with a faint wax-like odor. Cembrene itself has little importance as chemical entity, being a trail [[pheromone]] for termites; however, the chemical structure of cembrene is central to a very wide variety of other natural products found both in plants and in animals. ==References== {{Unreferenced|date =September 2007}} <references/> [[Category:Terpenes and terpenoids]] [[Category:Insect ecology]] [[Category:Alkenes]] [[Category:Pheromones]] {{hydrocarbon-stub}}
