Terpene reference

What you smell
in the jar.

Five common cannabis terpenes, described through aroma and flavor language. Cultivar-specific values appear only when batch-linked proof is approved.

For adults 21+. Sensory education only; not medical advice and not a promise of effects.

monoterpene, also abundant in citrus peel oils

Limonene

lemon peel, orange zest, bright citrus rind

Limonene is known for a bright citrus aroma that can read as lemon peel, orange zest, or fresh rind.

In flower, that citrus character can sit beside sweet, cookie, or candy-like notes depending on genetics and cure.

Use aroma language as a sensory reference, not a promise about effects. Cultivar-specific rankings appear only when batch-linked lab proof is approved.

sesquiterpene, also abundant in black pepper and cloves

Caryophyllene

black pepper, clove, woody, slightly spicy

Caryophyllene brings black-pepper, clove, and woody notes that can add depth to a cultivar's aroma.

It often appears beside citrus, gas, or sweet notes, where its spice helps keep the profile from reading one-dimensional.

This page stays with observable aroma and flavor language. It does not make medical, therapeutic, or experience guarantees.

monoterpene, also abundant in lavender and birch

Linalool

lavender, soft floral, sometimes a slight sweet powder

Linalool is known for lavender, soft floral, and lightly sweet powder-like aromas.

In flower, those notes can complement purple-leaning genetics and dessert-like sensory profiles.

Cultivar-specific linalool rankings and percentages remain unpublished until the supporting batch documentation is approved.

monoterpene, also abundant in mango and hops

Myrcene

musky, earthy, herbal, slight tropical fruit

Myrcene is associated with earthy, musky, herbal, and sometimes tropical-fruit aromas.

Those notes can deepen gas-forward or stone-fruit sensory profiles without implying a particular experience.

Exact cultivar rankings and percentages stay behind the same batch-linked proof gate as every other public lab value.

monoterpene, also abundant in pine needles and rosemary

Pinene

fresh pine, sharp evergreen, sometimes a hint of rosemary

Pinene is known for fresh pine, sharp evergreen, and rosemary-like aromas.

In a mixed profile, that clean forest note can balance cookie, citrus, or sweet sensory language.

This reference does not translate aroma into cognitive or medical outcomes, and cultivar-specific values appear only with approved proof.
