Myrcene, Limonene and Caryophyllene in Cinex

Myrcene

Myrcene is listed first, ahead of limonene, with the body-relaxing, heavy, classic indica-feel descriptors.

Limonene

Limonene sits between myrcene and caryophyllene, uplifting and clear-headed, with the sweet citrus in the aroma.

Caryophyllene

Caryophyllene, third in the order, is the peppery, warm one.
