Arcane Aromatics

Terpenes are a diverse class of organic compounds that are prevalent in the biomass and essential oils produced by plants. These hydrocarbons possess potent sensory qualities such as taste and smell in addition to the mood-boosting properties that power aromatherapeutic experiences and what is known as the 'entourage effect" in cannabis.

Linalool is an example of an isolated terpene. Its floral and delicate smell gives lavender its unmistakable aroma. It also acts as the key driver behind the lavender plant's soothing effect.

When natural terpenes are at the heart of a flavor, fragrance or plant profile, so too are the building blocks for effects-based benefits.

Terpenes are a fundamental component to nearly every essential oil and as they absorb into our bodies, terpenes interact dynamically with other organic compounds, hormones, pheromones and also our endocannabinoid system. The mere scent of blended terpenes can often times trigger impactful memories such as walking in a berry field or taking a cool, refreshing nose full of high desert air.

Terpene profiles are a designed blend of aromatic compounds. Usually profiles are curated to mimic the terpene properties of a specific plant species. They can also be designed to target specific effects or fragrances. Regardless of intent, each profile will contribute a unique aroma and effect. For instance, our all-natural botanical terpene strain profiles are designed mixtures of isolated terpenes that echo the terpene content of a specific strain of cannabis such as OG Kush. The same approach can be taken with non-cannabis plants. So, whether it is a classic variety of rose or a hybrid cannabis strain, a unique blending of terpenes is at its core.
