- Linalool: This is one of the main components in both lavender and spike lavender. It provides a sweet and floral aroma, and has relaxing and soothing properties.
- 1,8-cineole (Eucalyptol): Present in various aromatic plants, 1,8-cineole may have beneficial properties for the respiratory system.

- Borneol: A terpene that may have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
- Ocimene: Contributes to the aroma and may have antimicrobial properties.
- Limonene: A common terpene in many citrus essential oils, which adds a citrusy touch to the aroma and may have refreshing properties.
