Ice Cream Cake Terpene Profile

Terpenes and cannabis have a truly beautiful relationship. The short version? While it’s the cannabinoids that actually get you high, it’s the terpenes that determine the overall flavor, aroma, and effects. That’s why some strains make you want to clean your entire house, while others make you want to drool on the couch for hours. Terpenes are also what create the Ice Cream Cake flavor that’s both floral and creamy, yet citrus and sweet.

The most dominant isolate in this blend is d-Limonene. Limonene helps promote Ice Cream Cake's citrusy goodness. It should come as no surprise that d-Limonene is sweet, sour, and found in fruits like lemons, limes, and oranges. 

Myrcene is another common isolate, but it’s still a pretty big deal. It’s found in fruits like mangos, but also in spices like cardamom and herbs like parsley and hops. Its flavor is earthy and fruity with notes of clove. As the second dominant isolate, it helps weave together all the various aromatic notes to create the “cake” flavor Ice Cream Cake is known for.

Linalool, which is normally found in smaller amounts, lends an alluring floral aroma to this blend. On its own, this isolate is reminiscent of roses, oranges, or even apple blossoms. You’ll also find both alpha-Pinene and beta-Pinene in this blend, which help elevate the aroma and your senses.These isolates have chemical structures that mirror each other (also known as enantiomers). They’re both found in pine trees, and their scent certainly smells like it.  

While there are over thirty other isolates that make up this complex blend, these are the four dominant terpenes in its unique flavor and aroma. 

Ice Cream Cake | Terplytics

Our proprietary Terplytics system is the next generation of cannabis analytics. It allows us to deliver the most advanced botanical testing for exploratory research, sensory quantification, strain validation, product development, and consumer insights.

It’s also how we developed the Loud Factor and the Gas Factor.

In the most basic sense, the Loud Factor quantifies the pungency or “loudness” of a strain. Unlike Total Aromatics by Weight, the Loud Factor assigns scores to individual compounds based on their pungency. This is particularly important for aromatic compounds that are incredibly pungent, even at parts per billion. 

You might have guessed that the Gas Factor measures the intensity of a profile’s gassy aroma. Gassy aromas often contain high amounts of beta-Myrcene, d-Limonene, and beta-Caryophyllene, as well as flavorants typically found in gassy exotics. 

It’s also worth noting that our factor scores are logarithmic. That means the difference between a profile with a Gas Factor of 96% and one with 100% is HUGE, whereas the difference between a Gas Factor of 70% and 90% isn’t as big.

Ice Cream Cake Terpene Profile Effects

Yes, a potent THC isolate will have powerful psychoactive properties. But what about specific effects like relaxation, focus, or even creativity? Those effects actually come from the unique combination of cannabinoids, terpenes, and various aromatic compounds.

If you use terms like Indica and Sativa, this strain falls more into the indica category (although these terms don’t actually have anything to do with a cultivar’s effects). This Indica-leaning hybrid has sedative and mood-elevating effects that will have you ready to relax and unwind.

Users have reported an uplifting rush that helps soften stress. Then, just as you begin to entertain creative thoughts, tense muscles will unwind and a bone-deep relaxation will set in. Once this happens, be prepared for couch-lock and perhaps even a nap.

That being said, we recommend this strain for late afternoon or evening use. It would also be enjoyable after particularly stressful, busy days as a means to unplug and practice mindfulness. Or you could simply enjoy it in the evenings while binging your newest streaming obsession. You do you.

How Can YOU Use Ice Cream Cake Terpene Strain Profile?

Our botanically sourced Ice Cream Cake terpenes are perfect for both cannabis and non-cannabis products. Obviously, combining this blend with cannabinoids will pump up the effects. However, non-cannabis products needing to promote mind and body relaxation with a mood lift will greatly benefit from this blend.

While it may seem obvious to add Ice Cream Cake terpenes to edibles, we think that...you should totally do that! Sometimes the obvious answer is the right one, and that’s certainly the case here. Whether it’s hard candy and gummies or ACTUAL ice cream, this blend will add phenomenal flavor and sweet effects to any edible.

Conversely, we think the vape industry is seriously sleeping on Ice Cream Cake. Creamy flavors can create sinfully smooth experiences that customers will love. Plus, who says you can’t smoke your dessert?
