Camphene smells like a damp forest floor: fir needles, wet wood, a trace of camphor underneath. It gets confused with myrcene constantly, and honestly the two are easy to mix up in a jar — camphene is the colder, sharper of the pair.

If you've smelled a fresh hop flower, you've smelled humulene. It's named after *Humulus lupulus*, the hop vine, and it's a good part of why cannabis and beer smell like cousins. Sage and ginseng carry it as well. In a jar it's dry, woody and a little bitter.
