The vocabulary

Eight molecules do most of the talking

Strain names are branding. These are the compounds that actually shape character, and they live in everyday plants too: mangoes, lavender, black pepper, pine.

Myrcene

Earthy, musky, ripe mango

The most common terpene in hemp, associated with settled, easygoing evenings.

Linalool

Floral lavender with a hint of spice

The lavender terpene, the one people seek when the goal is calm and ease.

Limonene

Bright citrus peel

The citrus terpene, common in profiles people describe as bright and uplifting.

Caryophyllene

Black pepper, clove, warm spice

The peppery terpene, a backbone of comfort-leaning profiles.

Pinene

Fresh pine needles, rosemary

The pine-forest terpene, common in profiles described as clear and alert.

Terpinolene

Complex: floral, herbal, a little citrus

A lively, complex terpene that leads some of the most energetic profiles.

Humulene

Hoppy, woody, earthy

The hops terpene, a quiet contributor to grounded, comfortable profiles.

Ocimene

Sweet, herbal, lightly tropical

A sweet, airy terpene found in brighter, daytime-leaning profiles.
