Limonene
Limonene is a bright, citrus-scented terpene found in hemp and in the peels of lemons and oranges. It is often associated with uplifting, daytime profiles.
Limonene’s fresh citrus aroma makes it a signature of “focus” and “daily balance” blends, where an energising character is desirable.
Why it matters
Limonene helps you pick a daytime, uplifting product by aroma and terpene profile rather than guesswork.
