Floral Esters
Floral esters are volatile aromatic compounds that produce sweet, flowery, and sometimes fruity scent profiles in cannabis. These compounds form through esterification—chemical reactions between alcohols and acids—and are commonly found across numerous cultivars and landrace populations. Floral esters often co-occur with other terpenes like linalool and myrcene, creating layered aromatic expressions. In breeding and cultivation contexts, floral ester prominence is tracked as a sensory marker for phenotype selection and strain documentation. Lineage records frequently report floral ester character in heritage cultivars, particularly those with Haze, Thai, and Purple family genetics.

Breeders working in the ornamental and aromatic cannabis space often select parent plants displaying consistent floral ester profiles to stabilize this trait across generations. Floral ester character is monitored during phenotype hunting to identify and preserve lineages with predictable scent expression.
