Cedrol
Cedrol is a sesquiterpene alcohol commonly found in cannabis cultivars alongside other woody and spice-forward terpene profiles. Lineage records frequently report cedrol in strains descended from classic hash plant genetics and certain OG/Kush lineages, where it often contributes to earthy, herbal, and slightly sweet aromatic notes. The compound appears in relatively modest concentrations in most cannabis material, typically ranging below 1% of total terpene content. Breeders working with cedrol-rich phenotypes often observe it co-expressing with caryophyllene and humulene, creating complex woody-spice combinations. This sesquiterpene is also found in atlas cedarwood oil and juniper, which may inform sensory expectations in cannabis evaluation.

Cedrol's presence is often used as a secondary marker in cultivar selection, particularly when breeders target woody or forest-floor aromatic profiles. Stabilizing cedrol-forward phenotypes requires multi-generational selection, as sesquiterpene expression can be variable across environmental conditions.
