Can you swap one for the other?

No. Camphor and sugar are different kinds of food, so neither stands in for the other, whatever molecules they share. Treat them as partners, not stand-ins. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.

What they have in common

They overlap on 4 flavor molecules: 19% of camphor's 21. Among the shared key aromas is hexanal (grass, green). So the pairing rests more on how cooks use them than on shared aroma. Shared chemistry is a reason to try a pair, not a promise that it works on the plate.
