What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are organic aromatic compounds produced by plants. They're responsible for the scent of pine forests, citrus peel, lavender fields, and fresh herbs. Beyond fragrance, terpenes serve biological functions — signalling, defence, and interaction with animal and human physiology.

In peer-reviewed research, specific terpenes have demonstrated measurable interactions with the human nervous system. These aren't herbal folk remedies. They're compounds that have been studied in university laboratories, published in journals, and increasingly recognised for their role in mood, focus, and stress regulation.

Purus uses a precise terpene blend — no extracts, no concentrates, just isolated botanical compounds — dissolved directly into sparkling water.
