Myrcene

When isolated Myrcene presents an earthy and musky aroma that is sometimes described as dank and moist. Like many terpenes, myrcene is employed as a food flavor agent and in cosmetics for fragrance. 

Myrcene is produced by many plant species beyond cannabis, including:

• chamomile
• hops
• lemongrass
• parsley
• wild thyme
• several others

Myrcene, also referred to as beta myrcene. The earthy scent produced by myrcene typically is commingled with humulene and beta caryophyllene (most consumers never smell a terpene in isolation unless they are using a testing kit featuring individual samples).
