Myrcene Caryophyllene Dominance
Myrcene-caryophyllene dominance describes cannabis chemotypes in which these two terpenes rank among the three most abundant volatile compounds. Myrcene, a sesquiterpene, commonly contributes herbal and earthy aroma profiles, while caryophyllene adds spicy, peppery, and clove-like notes. This co-dominance pattern appears frequently across hybrid and indica-leaning lineages, particularly in cultivars descended from Skunk and OG Kush genetics. Breeders working in this classification often report stable expression across multiple generations, making it a useful marker for breeding programs targeting specific sensory and aromatic outcomes.

Myrcene-caryophyllene dominance is selectively maintained by breeders seeking consistent herbal-spicy flavor profiles and stable terpene expression. This combination often appears in backcross and F1 hybrid programs where parent selection targets defined aromatic boundaries.
