Terpenes, little aromatic compounds responsible for the scents, flavors, and even effects of plants. They’re the reason pine trees smell crisp, lavender soothes your soul, and citrus peels pop with zest. Found in everything from oranges to conifers, these tiny molecules don’t just tickle your nose; they can influence mood, energy, and even therapeutic benefits. Some pump up the party with an uplifting citrusy vibe (hello, limonene), while others mellow things out like a chill jazz record (looking at you, myrcene). Whether you’re sniffing a flower or savoring a fresh herb, you’re vibing with terpenes—nature’s fragrant fingerprints!
