Understanding Terpene Profiles in Cannabis Strains – A Guide to Aromatic Compounds
The fascinating world of cannabis extends far beyond THC and CBD content. At NOXX, we’re passionate about educating our customers about every aspect of their cannabis experience, particularly the crucial role of aromatic compounds in different strains.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are organic compounds responsible for the distinct aromas and flavors in cannabis. These molecules also contribute to the entourage effect, working synergistically with cannabinoids to enhance therapeutic benefits.
Common Cannabis Terpenes
- Myrcene – Earthy, musky notes
- Limonene – Citrus aromas
- Pinene – Pine-like scent
- Linalool – Floral, lavender hints
- Caryophyllene – Peppery, spicy undertones

Our knowledgeable budtenders at NOXX 28th Street, NOXX Plainfield Ave., Cookies Grand Rapids, and NOXX East Peoria can guide you through the unique terpene profiles of each variety.
Preserving Terpenes
To maintain optimal terpene levels, we recommend:
- Storing products in cool, dark places
- Using airtight containers
