Flavor & Aroma

True to its name, Orange Bud leans into bright citrus notes reminiscent of fresh orange peel. Terpinolene and limonene are often credited for the zesty, fruity top notes, while myrcene and caryophyllene add a soft herbal-spice and faint skunky sweetness. On the inhale, expect sweet citrus and floral hints; the exhale can reveal pine, herbal tones, and a lingering orange candy finish.

Genetics & Lineage

Orange Bud traces back to a Skunk #1 selection popularized by Dutch Passion in the 1980s. Bred from classic skunk genetics, it became known for its dense buds covered in vivid orange hairs and a distinct citrus-driven terpene profile.
