Nerolidol is a terpene with an earthy and fruity aroma, accented by subtle notes of wood, citrus, apple, and rose. It is found naturally in many plants and flowers, including cannabis. Nerolidol – sometimes referred to as peruviol – is produced in response to insect attacks, and though recognized for its antibacterial killing properties, it’s also known for its medical properties and is considered safe for humans to ingest and inhale. Nerolidol is found in many strong aromatics like ginger, jasmine, tea tree, lavender, and lemon grass, all of which are often used in aromatherapy, found in essential oils, and are praised for their therapeutic value and calming effects.
