Geraniol
Geraniol is a monoterpene commonly associated with floral and rose-like aromatic profiles in cannabis. Found across numerous cultivars, geraniol frequently appears alongside other terpenes like linalool and beta-myrcene in the volatile compound profiles of many modern strains. Breeders and chemists identify geraniol through gas chromatography analysis rather than sensory description alone. The terpene occurs naturally in geraniums, lemons, and other plants, making it a recognizable component in cannabis breeding work focused on aromatic diversity. Geraniol's presence is often recorded in lineage documentation when tracking parent plant chemotypes.

Cannabis breeders working with aromatic line selection monitor geraniol levels as one marker of terpene profile diversity. Cultivars intentionally bred for floral or citrus-forward characteristics often show elevated geraniol in third-party testing data, informing future cross selections.
