Herbal Incense Notes
Herbal incense notes represent aromatic profiles dominated by dry, woody, and resinous compounds often associated with plants like sage, frankincense, myrrh, and cedarwood. In cannabis genetics, this aroma family typically emerges from terpene combinations including myrcene, pinene, and caryophyllene, creating complex, earthy-spiced character profiles. Lineage records frequently report herbal incense notes in older landrace strains and in crosses emphasizing Middle Eastern or Mediterranean heritage genetics. Breeders working to preserve traditional aromatic signatures often select parent plants that express these terpene ratios consistently across generations. The aroma is distinct from "floral incense" due to its emphasis on dry, woody undertones rather than sweet or fragrant top notes.

Cannabis breeders targeting herbal incense profiles typically stabilize strains through phenotype selection for specific resin composition and terpene expression. Preservation of these aromatic markers is valuable in heirloom breeding programs and in crosses designed to recover heritage genetics.
