Myrcene Caryophyllene
Myrcene and caryophyllene are two of the most prevalent terpenes co-occurring in cannabis cultivars. Myrcene, a monoterpene, is commonly associated with earthy, herbal, and musky notes, while caryophyllene, a sesquiterpene, often contributes spicy, peppery, and woody character. When both are abundant in the same plant, the aroma profile typically becomes more complex and rounded—described by breeders and cultivators as 'full-bodied' or 'layered.' Lineage records frequently report elevated myrcene–caryophyllene ratios in Indica-leaning and hybrid cultivars derived from Kush, Haze, and OG stock. This terpene pairing is of particular interest to breeding programs seeking aromatic stability across generations.

Breeders working in this category monitor myrcene and caryophyllene co-expression as a marker of aromatic phenotype stability. Selection for balanced terpene profiles helps ensure consistent sensory traits in seed lines and cultivar development.
