Camphene is a pungent, damp, fir-and-camphor terpene often confused with myrcene. Earthy and coniferous, camphene smells of damp woodland and camphor. It is a minor cannabis terpene with interesting cardiovascular research.
Aroma and character
Camphene is pungent and earthy with fir, camphor and damp-forest notes. It is easily mistaken for myrcene by smell.
