What is Geraniol?
Geraniol is an acyclic monoterpene with a sweet, rose-like fragrance widely used in perfumery and flavoring. In cannabis, it adds floral and fruity sweetness to strain profiles. Research has shown Geraniol possesses neuroprotective properties and may help protect against neurodegenerative conditions. It also demonstrates strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activity. Geraniol is an effective natural insect repellent, often used as an alternative to citronella. Strains containing Geraniol typically produce gentle, pleasant effects with a notably sweet, floral taste.
