Woody Floral

Woody Floral describes aromatic profiles combining woody base notes with delicate floral top notes, commonly found in cannabis lineages with heritage from Afghani and Himalayan landraces crossed with floral-forward cultivars. This aroma class often features terpenes such as caryophyllene, myrcene, and linalool working in combination, creating layered scent profiles. Breeders frequently report this aroma emerging in F2+ generations when woody and floral parent lines are crossed. The woody component typically derives from aged plant material or specific terpene combinations, while floral notes may indicate linalool dominance or terpinolene presence. This category sits between pure woody profiles and distinctly floral aromatics, making it relevant for breeders exploring balanced terpene expression.

Breeders working in this category often select parent plants showing both earthy-woody and subtle floral volatiles to stabilize this dual-note profile. Stabilizing Woody Floral requires multi-generational selection for consistent terpene ratios, as floral notes can be phenotypically unstable across seed populations.
