Sabinene hydrate is the most volatile compound in marjoram and degrades significantly in dried grocery form. Impact adjusted from 2 to 1 at grocery level. Grocery marjoram can taste like weak oregano — which is why oregano often substitutes. If marjoram is a lead character, source fresh or premium dried.
