Isopulegol

Definition: Isopulegol is a minor terpene found in cannabis, lending a minty, menthol fragrance to the plant. This lesser-known terpene is also found in plants such as mint, eucalyptus, lemongrass, lemon balm, geranium, and parsley. Like many aromatic terpenes in cannabis, isopulegol can act as a natural defence against pests, while attracting beneficial pollinators. The scent of isopulegol contributes to the complex and sometimes heady odor profile of cannabis.
