Linalool

TERPENO

Linalool is the lavender note, and the terpene most associated with calm. Linalool gives cannabis a soft, floral, slightly spicy aroma. It is the compound that makes lavender smell like lavender, and it is widely studied for calming effects.

Aroma y carácter

Linalool is floral and delicate, lavender with a faint citrus-spice edge. It tends to round out and soften a chemovar’s aroma rather than dominate it.

Lo que sugiere la investigación

Linalool is one of the terpenes most studied for anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), calming and sedative effects, largely in animal models and aromatherapy research. It is the basis for lavender’s long use as a relaxant. Cannabis-specific human data is still limited.

Where else it is found

Linalool is abundant in lavender, and also in coriander, birch and many flowers and spices. It is a common ingredient in perfumes and calming products.
