PL TERPENE
Sweet-herbalUplifting
Ocimene brings a sweet, herbal freshness and an uplifting reputation. A lighter, less-talked-about terpene, ocimene adds sweet, woody-herbal top notes and is associated with bright, energetic chemovars.
Aroma and character
Ocimene is sweet and herbal with woody and citrus edges, fresh and slightly floral. It often sits in the background lifting a profile rather than dominating it.
What research suggests
Ocimene has shown antifungal, antiviral and decongestant activity in preclinical studies, and is used widely in perfumery. Cannabis-specific human data is limited.
Where else it is found
Ocimene occurs in mint, parsley, basil, orchids, mangoes and kumquats.
