Has anyone managed to blend isolated terpenesto achieve a scent similar to cannabis or hashish, such as:
myrcene
β-caryophyllene
limonene
terpinolene
α-pinene
humulene
linalool
ocimene
nerolidol
bisabolol
Others…
Yes, a lot of companies have done this:
True Terpenes
Abstrax
Eybna
Extract Consultants
Terpene Belt Farms
Many many more.
Abstrax put out a good white paper on cannabis flavorants being just as meaningful as terpenes. These compounds can be found in very trace amounts- as in the case of canna-sulfuric compounds- but still carry very strong sensory influence.
If you want to replicate cannabis accurately using synthetic compounds or isolates- you’ll need hundreds of bottles of different isolates and incredible skills.
edit: forgot to mention helloterpenes. Not sure if they qualify since it’s plant-extracted terps/flavorants and not isolate/synthetic. Good terps though!

Is any of these located in europe 
Yes, I think all of them. Terpenes and Flavorant formulations typically don’t carry any cannabinoids once processed. They can be shipped internationally. There may be some lines or formulations that are non-compliant, but typically they are good to go.
Properly extracted using low temperature low pressure controlled steam lifts and captures the natural Cannabis Terp solution separate from plant matter and cannabinoids, but collects the broadest spectrum of the Terps solution possible, and since we are not capturing cannabinoids, we can ship these Cannabis essential oils to Europe.
I’ve been thinking about the way we talk about “terps.”
Personally, I don’t think the cannabis plant creates a blend. I think it composes a symphony.
Every cultivar expresses a unique native volatile composition 
a remarkably complex arrangement of terpenes, esters, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, sulfur-containing compounds, and countless trace molecules that we’re still discovering. None of those compounds exist in isolation. They exist as part of an orchestra that the plant has spent millions of years refining.
To me, that’s a very different mindset than starting with individual ingredients and asking, “How do I recreate OG?” or “How do I recreate Zkittlez?”
It’s a little like listening to Mozart. You can identify the violin, the cello, the oboe, the French horn, and the piano 
but simply owning those instruments doesn’t mean you can recreate the symphony. The beauty isn’t just in the individual notes; it’s in the way they’re composed, balanced, and performed together.
That’s why my own work has always centered on preserving the plant’s native volatile composition rather than trying to rebuild it from isolated components. My goal has never been to improve on nature. It’s been to interfere with it as little as possible and preserve as much of its original composition as I can.
I’m curious how others here think about it.
Do you see cannabis aroma as something that can be built from individual ingredients, or do you think there’s something fundamentally unique about preserving the composition the plant created in the first place?
