Herbal Notes
Herbal notes in cannabis refer to aromatic profiles reminiscent of dried herbs, spices, and green botanicals—often described as sage, oregano, thyme, or bay leaf. These aromas typically arise from terpene combinations including myrcene, pinene, and caryophyllene, alongside lesser-known compounds like sabinene and terpineol. Herbal-forward strains are commonly found in landrace and heirloom genetics, as well as modern breeding lines emphasizing Old World or Mediterranean-inspired profiles. The perception of herbal character can shift with drying, curing, and storage conditions, making cultivation technique a significant factor in final aroma expression.

Breeders working with herbal phenotypes often select for parent plants showing these terpene ratios as a foundation for stability across generations. Herbal traits are frequently pursued in breeding programs targeting flavor complexity and lineage authenticity, particularly in projects honoring traditional or regional cannabis genetics.
