Citrusy notes refer to a family of aromas reminiscent of lemon, lime, grapefruit or other citrus fruits. They are among the most common aromatic profiles in certain hemp and cannabis varieties.
These aromas may be perceived as fresh, lively, tangy or slightly sweet, depending on the plant's composition. Their intensity varies according to genetics, growing conditions, drying and storage.
A popular aromatic profile
Citrusy notes are often sought after for their freshness and easily recognisable character. They may occur alone or be combined with fruity, floral, herbal or spicy notes.
Associated terpenes
Several terpenes may contribute to citrusy aromas, particularly limonene. Other aromatic compounds present in the plant also contribute to the richness and complexity of the olfactory profile.

Citrusy notes describe only an aromatic aspect. They help characterise the fragrance of a variety or product without providing information about its exact composition or cannabinoid concentration.
