Trans-nerolidol

Trans-nerolidol is an acyclic sesquiterpene alcohol and is one of two stereoisomers, the other being cis-nerolidol. Nerolidol is also known as peruviol or penetrol. Since labs have expanded their testing of terpenes, it has become abundantly clear that nerolidol exists in significant quantities in many strains. It is commonly described as having a "fresh tree bark" aroma.
