Terpenes are organic compounds responsible for enhancing the scent in plants. Terpenes are developed through the process of distillation and evaporation. When the raw plant materials are steamed in a distiller, the liquid goes through a purifying process, and the residual is pure terpene. Then, when the residual is mixed with various cannabis products, it enhances the scent and enhances the retainer’s effect.
