What the axes mean
Citrus
Bright peel and juice: lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit. Often driven by limonene, the same compound that makes citrus rind smell like citrus rind.
Candy Sweetness
Confection rather than fruit: sugar, tropical brightness, an almost artificial sweetness. Ester-driven, and the register modern dessert-lineage breeding has pushed hardest.
Dark Fruit
Deep and jammy: grape, blueberry, plum, berry. Comes from esters rather than terpenes, which is why two strains can share a terpene profile and taste nothing alike.
Floral
Blossom and petal: lavender, rose, violet. Linalool sits behind much of this; it is what makes lavender smell like lavender, and it turns up in cannabis more often than people expect.
Herbaceous
Green, leafy and cooling: sage, tea, mint, cracked pepper. Pinene and terpinolene drive the fresh green edge; the peppery bite is caryophyllene, the only terpene known to bind directly to a cannabinoid receptor.
Earth

Gas

Dessert & Cream
Bakery and dairy: vanilla, butter, coffee, toasted nut. The Cookies and Gelato register, and the newest of the nine in cannabis terms — it barely existed before the 2010s.
