Terpene
Library.

Terpenes help shape aroma and flavor. Now the lab reference points, practical temperature path, and uncertainty all live together.

Do not turn this chart into a dial setting. These are approximate pure-compound phase-change references, generally near normal pressure unless labeled otherwise. Plant material is a wet, changing mixture; compounds release across ranges, airflow moves heat, and a device display may not equal material temperature.
Earthy, herbal, musky

Myrcene

Lab reference~167°C / 333°F

Also found in: Hops, mango, thyme, bay

Often abundant in cannabis; aroma is established, but a terpene name does not predict a guaranteed personal effect.

Pepper, clove, dry wood

β-Caryophyllene

Lab reference~262°C / 504°F

Also found in: Black pepper, cloves, cinnamon, hops

Unusual among common terpenes because it can interact with CB2 receptors; that does not turn a retail aroma profile into a medical claim.

Citrus peel, bright, fresh

Limonene

Lab reference~176°C / 349°F

Also found in: Citrus rinds, juniper, mint

Common in many aromatic plants. Human response depends on the complete product, dose, route, and person.

Pine, resin, fresh herbs

α/β-Pinene

Lab reference~156–166°C / 313–331°F

Also found in: Pine, rosemary, basil

Two related terpenes with familiar forest aromas; claimed cognitive effects remain an active research question.

Floral, lavender, soft spice

Linalool

Lab reference~198°C / 388°F

Also found in: Lavender, coriander, basil

Aroma chemistry is well known; cannabis-specific wellness promises should not be treated as established.

Earthy, woody, hoppy

Humulene

Lab reference~123°C / 253°F at reduced pressure

Also found in: Hops, basil, sage

Often accompanies caryophyllene and other sesquiterpenes in mixed profiles. Its commonly cited low number is a reduced-pressure measurement, not a normal-atmosphere device setting.

Floral, herbal, citrus-pine

Terpinolene

Lab reference~185°C / 365°F

Also found in: Tea tree, apples, cumin, lilac

Usually part of a blend rather than a single-compound experience.

Sweet, herbal, tropical

Ocimene

Lab reference~175°C / 347°F

Also found in: Mint, basil, orchids, mango

A volatile aroma compound; product handling and age can change what remains.

Eucalyptus, mint, cooling herbs

1,8-Cineole

Lab reference~176°C / 349°F

Also found in: Eucalyptus, rosemary, bay, sage

Also called eucalyptol. Concentrated essential-oil safety is not the same as natural trace exposure.

Camphor, mint, clean wood

Borneol

Lab reference~212°C / 414°F

Also found in: Ginger, rosemary, camphor plants

Typically a supporting aromatic compound; strong medical language is not justified by retail-level evidence.

Mint, cooling herbs

Pulegone

Lab reference~224°C / 435°F

Also found in: Peppermint, pennyroyal, catnip

Concentrated pulegone has meaningful safety concerns. Presence in an aroma list is not a recommendation to consume an isolate.

Sweet cedar, pine, citrus

Δ3-Carene

Lab reference~168°C / 334°F

Also found in: Cedar, rosemary, turpentine trees

A supporting terpene with limited cannabis-specific human evidence.

THE NUMBER IS A REFERENCE

Flavor lives in a system.

Material moisture, grind, load density, heater type, draw speed, session length, and glass all change what reaches you. Learn the whole travel instead of chasing one magic number.
