Flavor & Aroma
True to its name, Super Skunk carries a pungent skunky base layered with earthy sweetness. Myrcene lends a herbal, musky depth, while caryophyllene can add a light peppery spice. Limonene brings a citrus pop that some describe as orange or lemon zest. On inhale, expect dense, skunky-earth notes; on exhale, a sweet-citrus finish with a mild spicy tickle.
