Many studies have shown meaningful physiological effects of forest
atmosphere on people. These effects are believed to be achieved by
inhaling the forest atmosphere, which includes various phytochemicals mainly produced by trees. The major components of the forest atmosphere are terpenes, which are the largest class of naturally occurring organic compounds with more than 40,000
structures reported so far!
Terpenes are the organic hydrocarbons already found in most
plants. They’re what actually create the scents and flavours that
imitation scents are mimicking.

Terpenes like limonene and myrcene are known for their ability to alleviate stress and promote relaxation.
Compounds such as beta-caryophyllene offer potent anti-inflammatory benefits, supporting physical health.
Certain terpenes have been shown to improve focus and cognitive function, making them a valuable addition to any wellness regimen.
This terpene can be found in black pepper, black caraway, cloves, basil, oregano, and cinnamon. It’s “spicy” like chai, but it’s most memorable for its powerful analgesic and antipyretic properties. Basically, it relieves pain and cools. That makes this spicy yet sweet terpene perfect for soaps, lotions, and muscle rubs.
This slightly woody, floral terpene can be found in chamomile. Not only is it anti-inflammatory, an anti-microbial, an antioxidant, and rich in panthenol, it actually promotes relaxation. It’s useful in hair and skincare topicals because of its moisturizing properties..
If you read that and immediately thought of camphor trees, you’re on the right track. This terpene is found in Cinnamomum camphor trees, cumin, and hops and has topical painkilling and anti-inflammatory properties. Its aroma is reminiscent of damp wood and fir needles.
This energizing terpene is a favourite for anyone making products designed to energize and enliven the senses. It’s no surprise that D- Limonene has an in-your-face citrus kick since it’s found in most citrus fruits. One added perk for topicals is that it can enhance the penetration of other terpenes. That makes D-Limonene particularly useful!
Looking for something soothing and calming? Linalool is right up your alley. Found in lavender, mint, and birch, it’s no surprise that this terpene has a delicate floral scent. Its powerful sedative effects make this terpene popular in aromatherapy and topical products designed for relaxation.
Myrcene is one of the most common terpenes, but that doesn’t make it any less special. Its scent is sweet with a minty balsam feel and can be found in bay, ylang-ylang, mangos, hops, wild thyme, and more! On top of having sedative, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory properties, it also promotes feelings of relaxation.
This potent earthy terpene has a bitter woody overtone but is a fan favourite for anyone who enjoys beer (it’s the main terpene in hops). Unsurprisingly, this terpene promotes feelings of calm and happiness. It’s a powerful analgesic but also an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. You can also find alpha-caryophyllene in sage, ginseng, and coriander.
