Smell is more than just preference—it’s a useful indicator of a product’s terpene profile.
What Smell Tells You
A strong, distinct aroma usually means:
- Terpenes are present and intact
- The product was stored and handled properly
Faint or flat smell may indicate terpene loss over time.
Terpenes and Aroma
Different terpene profiles produce different scents:
- Citrus
- Earthy
- Floral
- Fuel-like
- Herbal
These aromas often align with reported effects.
Using Smell Responsibly
While smell alone doesn’t guarantee how a product will feel, it can help patients:
- Avoid stale products
- Identify terpene profiles they respond well to
Bottom Line
Smell is a practical tool that can help patients make more informed choices.
