Terpenes are naturally occurring aromatic compounds found in cannabis and many other plants. They are responsible for the distinctive scents and flavor profiles of each cultivar, ranging from citrus and pine to herbal and spice-forward notes. Beyond aroma, terpenes play a key role in how a strain is experienced, shaping its overall character and expression. Together with cannabinoids, they help define what makes each cultivar unique.
