Terpene profile

Geraniol

Rose, citronella, peach — like a rose garden with a hint of warm stone fruit.

Geraniol is the romance terpene — the same compound that gives roses their iconic scent and geraniums their aromatic warmth. It's prized in perfumery, but in cannabis, it contributes a gentle, mood-lifting quality that enhances sensory experiences. Strains high in geraniol are the ones you reach for when you want to really taste your food, smell your garden, or savor a moment. In the kitchen, it's your bridge to anything floral, stone-fruited, or elegantly sweet — Persian, French, and Indian desserts are its natural home.
