Myrcene profile

Myrcene is a terpene with a earthy, musky, herbal aroma profile. It is often one of the most common terpenes in cannabis flower. In cannabis, it may appear as one part of a larger terpene mix rather than the only aroma driver.

How to compare it

  • Look at the terpene percentage or mg if listed.
  • Compare the top three terpenes, not only the dominant one.
  • Smell and effect are not guaranteed by terpene alone.
  • Track products you like and notice repeated terpene patterns.
