How Our Sprays Interact with Terpenes and Aromatics

TL;DR: Modest & Co.’s enzyme sprays neutralize terpenes and aromatics for a truly odor-free space, disarming stubborn smells at the molecular level.

What Are Terpenes and Aromatics?

Why do cannabis or perfume smells linger, and how can you erase them for good? Terpenes are volatile compounds in cannabis, herbs, and cleaning products, like limonene (citrus), myrcene (earthy), and pinene (pine). Aromatics, like toluene or xylene, are found in perfumes and paints. These compounds cling to surfaces and air, creating persistent odors.

The Challenge of Smell Persistence

Terpenes and aromatics have complex, stable structures that resist evaporation, binding to surfaces or air particles. Standard air fresheners or candles layer new smells over the problem, failing to address the source. Modest & Co.’s enzyme-based approach targets these compounds directly.

Modest & Co.’s Molecular Approach

Our sprays don’t mask—they deconstruct. We use targeted enzymes:

• Monooxygenases: Insert oxygen to break down terpene hydrocarbon chains.
• Hydrolases: Break ester bonds in aromatic compounds like perfumes.
• Oxidoreductases: Alter terpene polarity, preventing bonding to nasal receptors [1].

This enzyme-powered odor elimination leaves no smell—not even a hint of citrus or musk.

Natural Odor Neutralizer for Every Room

• Bathroom: Use Lavender Dreams to clear aromatic residues from cleaning products.
• Living Room: Spritz Obsidian Sky for cannabis or perfume odors.
• Kitchen: Neutralize food-related terpenes with Cashmere Silk.

Everyday Examples: From Cannabis to Cooking

Hosted a smoke session, cooked with herbs, or overdid the cologne? These create terpene-rich environments. A few sprays of Obsidian Sky, a natural odor neutralizer, breaks down terpenes and aromatics before they settle, ensuring clean air.

Maintaining Odor-Free Air

• Daily: Spritz Arctic Breeze in bathrooms to prevent aromatic buildup.
• Weekly: Reset living areas with Obsidian Sky for lasting clarity.
• Post-Gathering: Use Lavender Dreams to clear terpene-heavy residues.
• Troubleshooting: For stubborn terpene odors, double-spray and ventilate after 10 minutes.
