Cis-nerolidol

Cis-nerolidol is an acyclic sesquiterpene alcohol and is one of two stereoisomers, the other being trans-nerolidol. Since labs have expanded their testing of terpenes, it has become abundantly clear that nerolidol exists in significant quantities in many strains, albeit cis-nerolidol to a lesser degree than trans-nerolidol. It is commonly described as having a "fresh tree bark" aroma.
