Terpinolene
Rare, fresh, uplifting
Terpene
What is terpinolene?
Terpinolene is a less common terpene, found in nutmeg, cumin, apples, and lilac — and in cannabis it usually shows up in small amounts. Its aroma is fresh and herbaceous: piney, slightly floral, with a citrus twist.
Effects
Despite often appearing in strains with indica names, terpinolene is consistently associated with uplifting, energetic effects. It's a good reminder that strain names are marketing shorthand — the terpene profile is what actually shapes the experience.
