The New Yorker’s Guide to Terpenes: What They Are & How They Change Your Vibe
Terpenes are the natural aromatic compounds produced in the resin glands of cannabis flowers, fruit peels, and herbs. Understanding terpene profiles helps you choose the perfect aroma and character for your personal preferences.
Common Cannabis Terpenes
Every cultivar features a distinct terpene signature:
- Myrcene: Earthy and clove-like. Found in mangoes, lemongrass, and rich indica varieties.
- Limonene: Crisp citrus notes found in lemon rinds and vibrant sativa cultivars.
- Caryophyllene: Spicy, peppery aromatics shared with black pepper and cinnamon.
- Pinene: Sharp pine-needle aromas that bring a fresh, woodland character.
