Described herein are methods for reducing odors produced from terpenes. The methods involve treating air comprising one or more terpenes in order to reduce the odor. In one aspect, the air comprising the terpenes are circulated through compositions that can convert the terpenes to new chemical species that are not as odorous or possess no odor at all. The methods described herein have numerous applications where terpenes are produced or processed and it is desirable to reduce the odor produced by these compounds.
