Caryophyllene Notes
Caryophyllene notes refer to cannabis aromatics dominated by β-caryophyllene (beta-caryophyllene), a sesquiterpene that produces peppery, spicy, woody, or clove-like sensory profiles. This terpene is also found in black pepper, hops, and cloves, making it one of the few cannabis terpenes present across multiple culinary and brewing plants. Lineage records frequently report caryophyllene-forward profiles in chemotypes derived from OG Kush, Sour Diesel, and Southern Indian landraces. Breeders and cultivators often tag strains with elevated caryophyllene as "spicy" or "peppery" phenotypes, though terpene expression varies significantly by environment and harvest timing.

Breeders working in this category select parent lines showing consistent caryophyllene dominance to stabilize aromatic profiles across generations. Caryophyllene-noted cultivars are often crossed to introduce peppery complexity while maintaining other desired cannabinoid or terpene ratios.
