Geraniol

Geraniol is one of the most popular terpenes due to its attractive rose-like scent. First isolated in 1871, it is one of three molecular components responsible for the scent of roses. Outside of cannabis, geraniol is produced by geranium (revealed by their common name root), lemon, and roses.

Geraniol is also employed as a natural pest/insect control agent and sometimes preferred due to its relatively low toxicity.
