PL TERPENE
Rosy-floralSladké
Geraniol is the sweet, rosy terpene that smells like a flower shop. The compound behind the scent of roses and geraniums, geraniol brings a sweet floral note to cannabis and is well studied as a food-safe antioxidant.
Aroma and character
Geraniol is sweet, rosy and floral with a fruity edge. It is delicate and instantly recognisable as a rose-like scent.
What research suggests
Geraniol is studied for antioxidant, neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, and is generally recognised as safe as a flavouring. Cannabis-specific human evidence is limited.
Where else it is found
Geraniol is abundant in roses, geraniums, lemongrass and citronella.
