The CBD space in Europe is getting crowded.
A few years ago, you could slap “CBD” on a label and people would get excited. Now? Not so much. Customers are pickier. Regulations are tighter. And most products are starting to blend together.
That’s why more CBD brands are turning to terpenes. Not as an afterthought, but as a smart way to stay relevant, build brand identity, and create products that actually stand out.
So, What Do Terpenes Actually Do?
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in all kinds of plants, including citrus fruits, pine trees, lavender, and yes, cannabis.
They give plants their smell and flavor. But in hemp products, they do more than just add scent.
They shape how a product feels.
Limonene, for example, is bright and citrusy, often associated with focus and uplift. Linalool smells like lavender and is commonly linked to calming effects. Myrcene is musky and earthy, often connected to relaxation and rest.
These aren’t just flavor notes. They’re building blocks of a sensory experience.
That’s why high-end cannabis brands in North America talk about terpene profiles as much as cannabinoid content. And it’s exactly why European CBD brands are catching on.
What Terpenes Let You Do (That CBD Alone Can’t)
- Differentiate your products without changing your base formula.Whether you’re selling oils, vapes, skincare, or edibles, adding terpenes gives you a fresh angle without starting from scratch.
- Create targeted experiences without crossing regulatory lines.Want to build a “relax” or “focus” blend? Terpenes let you do that through aroma and flavor, without needing to make medical claims.
- Tap into cannabis culture without using cannabis.You can reference iconic strain profiles like OG Kush, Gelato, or Pineapple Express using botanical terpenes that are fully legal and EU-compliant.
- Build stronger brand stories.Terpenes give your products personality. Customers don’t just remember “CBD Oil No. 3.” They remember the one that smells like citrus, helps them unwind, or kicks off their morning routine.
The Bigger Trend: Functional, Sensory CBD
CBD isn’t going away, but the way it’s marketed is changing. The next wave of growth isn’t just about cannabinoids. It’s about how the entire product makes people feel.
And in Europe, where health claims are heavily regulated, terpenes are a smart workaround. You can’t say “this will relax you,” but you can create a calming scent profile with natural compounds that people already associate with rest.
This is functional wellness delivered through design, aroma, and experience—not empty promises.
