Myrcene Aromatic Profile
Myrcene is one of the most abundant terpenes found across cannabis genetics, often comprising 20–65% of a plant's total terpene profile. This monoterpene is commonly associated with earthy, herbal, and sometimes fruity or clove-like aromatic notes. Myrcene-dominant strains frequently trace lineage to Indica-heavy cultivars and landraces from regions like Afghanistan and Southeast Asia. The terpene's prevalence in cannabis breeding suggests breeders have long selected for myrcene-rich phenotypes, though aromatic expression varies significantly based on genetics, cultivation conditions, and harvest timing. Myrcene levels typically peak during late flower development and can shift during curing and storage.

Breeders working with myrcene-aromatic profiles often cross high-myrcene parent lines to stabilize earthy or herbal character in offspring. Myrcene concentration is tracked as a marker trait in breeding programs seeking to maintain or intensify traditional Indica aromatics across generations.
