Terpene profile
Terpineol
Lilac, pine, lime peel — like a spring garden after rain.
Terpineol is the terpene of twilight — floral, slightly piney, and deeply relaxing. It often co-occurs with pinene (pine trees are a major source) and linalool, creating a complex aromatic trifecta that smells like walking through a botanical garden at dusk. Strains high in terpineol tend to be excellent for evening use, unwinding, and creative reflection. In the kitchen, it connects to anything aromatic and elegant — cardamom, elderflower, lime zest, and delicate herbs.
