Woody Aromatic
Woody aromatic profiles emerge from terpenes like pinene, myrcene, and caryophyllene, often combined with trace compounds that evoke cedar, sandalwood, or dry timber notes. This aroma classification is frequently observed in landrace and heritage cultivars, particularly those with African or Asian geographic origins. Woody notes can develop during both growth and post-harvest curing, with proper drying and storage conditions significantly influencing the final aromatic expression. Breeders often distinguish between "fresh woody" (green, resinous) and "aged woody" (dry, structured) phenotypes when documenting offspring characteristics.

Breeders working with woody aromatic traits typically select parent plants that consistently express pinene-dominant or myrcene-forward terpene profiles. These selections are valuable for creating cultivars with stable, recognizable aromatic markers across generations, particularly when establishing true-breeding lines.
