Myrcene Base Notes
Myrcene base notes refer to cannabis cultivars where myrcene is the dominant terpene, creating earthy, herbal, and often fruity aromatic foundations. Myrcene (β-myrcene) is one of the most abundant terpenes in cannabis and commonly appears in high concentrations in indicas and indica-dominant hybrids. Lineage records frequently report myrcene dominance in classic cultivars like Skunk, Afghani, and OG Kush genetics. Breeders working in this category often prioritize myrcene for its consistency across growing conditions and its role in creating recognizable aromatic profiles. The terpene profile typically combines with secondary notes like caryophyllene or limonene to build complexity.

Myrcene-dominant cultivars serve as stable foundation genetics in breeding programs, offering predictable terpene expression and reliable aromatic inheritance. Breeders frequently cross myrcene-rich parents when seeking to establish earthy, herbal character in new lines while managing volatility in secondary terpene expression.
