The terpene profile of this Sour Apricot may offer an energized, bright experience with a clear, cheerful focus.
Leading the profile by a wide margin is limonene, the bright citrus terpene found in lemon and orange rinds, which may elevate the mood and add a lively, motivating energy.
Linalool follows with a floral, lavender-like note long valued in aromatherapy, and could help keep the energy smooth by easing tension.
β-Caryophyllene adds a peppery spice also found in black pepper and cloves. As the only terpene known to interact directly with the body's CB2 receptors, it may lend a subtle grounding quality.
Myrcene brings a musky, earthy sweetness also found in ripe mangoes and hops, and could add a soft touch of physical ease.
A handful of supporting terpenes round out the profile. β-Pinene and α-pinene carry the crisp scent of pine needles and rosemary and may support a fresh, alert feel, while terpineol lends a lilac-like softness. α-Bisabolol, the gentle compound found in chamomile, may add a calming touch, and α-humulene, the earthy terpene that gives hops their woody bite, is purported to have appetite-suppressing effects. A trace of camphene (also found in fir needles) adds subtle depth to this lively profile.
