Phenolic Notes
Phenolic notes in cannabis aromatics refer to subtle woody, smoky, or slightly astringent scent compounds derived from phenolic organic molecules. These aromas are often associated with certain terpene profiles and plant maturation states, particularly in cultivars with extended flowering periods or specific genetic backgrounds. Phenolic character is commonly tagged in strains with earthy or resinous profiles, though it remains less prominent than dominant volatiles like myrcene or limonene. Breeders working with heritage or heirloom genetics frequently report phenolic undertones as part of the strain's aromatic signature. Documentation of phenolic notes can vary across phenotype expression and curing methodology.

Breeders interested in complex, layered aroma profiles sometimes select parent plants exhibiting phenolic undertones to reinforce this trait in offspring. Phenolic character is often linked to plant maturity and resin development, making it a secondary marker rather than a primary breeding target.
