Lavender Notes

Lavender notes in cannabis refer to floral aromatics commonly associated with linalool and other monoterpenes that create herbaceous, slightly sweet, or perfumy character in the flower. These aromas are frequently reported in strains descended from Afghani, Purple, and UK Cheese lineages, though linalool appears across diverse genetic backgrounds. Lavender-tagged cultivars are often selected for sensory complexity rather than dominant terpene profiles. Breeders working in this category typically identify the trait through olfactory evaluation during phenotype selection and stability testing.

Breeders maintain lavender-note cultivars as aromatic markers for phenotype diversity and consumer preference segmentation. Selecting for linalool-forward expression across generations helps stabilize floral character in breeding programs focused on aromatic complexity.
