What does Terpinolene smell like?
Terpinolene carries notes of apple, fresh herbs and a hint of citrus. It is one of the terpenes that gives cannabis its character long before THC does anything.
What does the Terpinolene terpene do?
Terpinolene is generally described as uplifting and slightly heady. Terpenes work alongside cannabinoids rather than on their own, so the same terpene can read differently in two strains.
Which strains are high in Terpinolene?
On our menu, Blue Dream, Sour Apple Chews, Pineapple Express are the closest matches by aroma profile. Every batch ships with lab testing — see our COA page.

No. Terpinolene appears across the plant world, which is why the aroma feels familiar. Cannabis simply concentrates it alongside dozens of other terpenes.
