Had some old terpenes (Myrcene and Pinene) stored for 1.5 years in a cold dark room. The sweet aroma is gone. Are these terpenes useless now?

Had some isolated terpenes we bought roughly 1.5 years ago. We ended up storing these since we had no use for em due to our usage of terpene blends.

We stored them in the basement of the warehouse which would at times goto maybe 60 degrees at most (we kept it cold)

However, today we went to go check on them because we had a buyer and it the Smell is completely gone. I remember the Pinene having such a nice refreshing smell that made it easier to breath and now it smells “dull”. Same with the Myrcene. Are these pretty much useless now? Absolutely smells much different than what they were roughly 1.5 years back when we bought them.

Heat and light are the enemy of terpenes. I’ve had some in the fridge in the dark last more than a year

Care to share what kind of container you used? More than likely wasn’t perfect enough for the use application?

This could potentially be remediated and Fractionalized to revive the flavors and profiles that you’re looking for
