Heart Notes

Cannabis Seeds with a Unique Terpene Profile

The Heart Notes collection by Pyramid Seeds is dedicated not only to genetics but also to terpene profiles, which define the flavor and aroma of cannabis. With over 20 years of breeding experience, we know that it is terpenes that make each strain unique.

Cannabis Terpenes as a Natural Aphrodisiac

It isn’t only THC that influences intimacy: aromatic terpenes can gently tune the body and mind to the right vibe.

Limonene, with its citrus freshness, is often associated with lightness and flirtation; linalool and myrcene with relaxation, body comfort and a more pleasant sense of touch; warm, spicy β-caryophyllene helps ground attention in sensation; pinene adds clarity and presence.

By amplifying and balancing the effects of cannabinoids within the entourage effect, such aroma profiles can help set the mood for intimacy — from playful and energetic to calm and sensual. Responses are individual: start low and follow the aromas you genuinely enjoy.

Why Do Strains with the Same Name Smell Different?

Many wonder: why do strains like OG Kush, White Widow, or Amnesia smell different depending on the seed bank? The answer lies in the variations of the terpene profile.

Even with the same name, each breeder:

• - uses different parental lines;
• - performs their own selection (phenohunting) from hundreds of phenotypes;
• - stabilizes plants with specific terpene combinations (limonene, myrcene, pinene, caryophyllene, etc.).

That is why “OG Kush” from one breeder can be more citrusy, while from another it may lean toward pine or earthy tones.

How Are Unique Terpene Profiles Created?

1. Genetic sourcing — using both classic landraces and modern American lines.
2. Crossing — combining strains with contrasting aromas (e.g., sweet fruit × spicy indica).
3. Phenohunting — selecting from hundreds of plants those with the most expressive terpene combinations.
4. Stabilization (backcrossing, inbreeding) — repeated crosses to ensure each seed produces a consistent aroma.
5. Testing — strains are grown in different environments to confirm stable and reliable aromatic expression.

This is how collections like Heart Notes are born — where terpene profile is the main selection criterion.

Why Heart Notes Means “The Heart of Aroma”

Terpenes, like perfumes, can be divided into three layers:

• Top Notes: light and volatile (citrus, herbs).
• Heart Notes: lasting tones that define the main impression (floral, fruity, spicy).
• Base Notes: persistent aromas that linger (earthy, woody, musky).

The Heart Notes collection focuses on these middle notes — rich, balanced, and emotionally engaging.

FAQ: Terpenes in Cannabis

What are terpenes and what is their role?

Terpenes are aromatic compounds responsible for the smell and flavor of cannabis. They also interact with cannabinoids, enhancing or modulating effects (the so-called entourage effect).

Which terpenes are most common?

Myrcene (earthy, relaxing), Limonene (citrusy, uplifting), Pinene (pine, refreshing), Caryophyllene (spicy, peppery).

What is the difference between cannabinoids and terpenes?

Cannabinoids (THC, CBD, etc.) affect psychoactive and therapeutic effects, while terpenes shape aroma and flavor and modulate how those effects are perceived.

Why do strains with the same name smell different?

It depends on breeding: different producers stabilize different terpene combinations, so OG Kush, Amnesia, or White Widow can smell different depending on the breeder.

Conclusion

The Heart Notes collection is not just cannabis seeds — it is the result of years of terpene-focused breeding. Each strain here was selected for aroma and flavor to give you a new dimension in cannabis experience.
