Wood Notes
Wood notes refer to earthy, resinous aromatic compounds commonly associated with aged wood, cedar, sandalwood, and forest floor characteristics in cannabis. These scent profiles often derive from sesquiterpenes like caryophyllene and humulene, alongside volatile organic compounds that develop during curing and storage. Wood-noted strains are frequently encountered in landrace varieties and older breeding lines, where extended phenotype expression creates these deeper, more complex aromatics. The descriptor appears across multiple chemotype families and isn't exclusive to any single terpene profile, making it a descriptive category rather than a single chemical marker.

Breeders working with heritage genetics and cured-flower phenotypes often select for wood-note expression to develop complexity and storage stability. Achieving pronounced wood characteristics typically requires extended dry-cure periods and selective crossing of parent plants with naturally higher sesquiterpene profiles.
