Arcane Aromatics

Absolutely not.

The pure hemp botanicals and terpenes used in our strain profiles DO NOT contain CBD, THC or any other intoxicating or psychoactive compounds. Our cannabis-centric flavors and fragrances capture the natural aromatherapeutic qualities of the plant, not the psychoactive.

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.

It's one thing to say that you're a responsible, quality supplier. We feel it's important to prove it.

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.

Few - if any- plant species rival the aromatic diversity and immersive properties of cannabis.

Its ability to shape nearly any moodstate is truly special, even without the presence of mainstream cannabinoids like THC and CBD.

The world of aromatherapy is rich with plant essentials such as lavender and ylang ylang that help people modulate their moods. We think it's well past time that a plant as aromatically gifted as cannabis takes its place in the toolkits of natural product makers and aromatherapeutic enthusiasts.
