Can you swap one for the other?

No. Honey and camphor 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 9 flavor molecules: 43% of camphor's 21. Among the shared key aromas are eucalyptol (eucalyptus, herbal) and eugenol (clove, spicy). Most of what they share is background chemistry many foods carry, so the overlap does little for the smell. Shared chemistry is a reason to try a pair, not a promise that it works on the plate.
