Myrcene Limonene Pairing
Myrcene and limonene frequently co-occur in cannabis cultivars, creating an aromatic profile often described as citrus-forward with herbal or earthy undertones. Myrcene, the most abundant terpene in many cannabis strains, contributes a musky, clove-like base note, while limonene adds bright lemon or grapefruit character. This pairing is common in lineages derived from Haze, Kush, and Citrus-leaning breeding stock. The ratio between these two terpenes varies significantly across cultivars, influencing the overall sensory presentation. Breeders working with this combination often select parent plants showing stable expression of both compounds to maintain consistency across generations.
