Cedarwood Terpenes
Cedarwood terpenes encompass a family of sesquiterpenes—primarily α-cedrene, β-cedrene, and thujopsene—that produce woody, dry, and resinous aromatic profiles commonly associated with cedar, sandalwood, and vetiver notes. These compounds are found across various cannabis cultivars, often appearing alongside myrcene and caryophyllene in heritage landrace and modern hybrid genetics. The cedarwood terpene profile is frequently reported in older Afghani hash plant selections and some Cedrus-influenced breeding lines. Breeders working in this category often select for these volatiles when targeting woody or earthy sensory characteristics in their cultivars.

Cedarwood terpenes are valued by breeders seeking to develop cultivars with pronounced dry, resinous, or woody aromatics. Selection for sesquiterpene-rich phenotypes requires stable genetic backgrounds and careful environmental controls during flowering and curing to preserve these typically lower-volatility compounds.
