Upon breaking apart the buds, scents of fresh earth and a bouquet of fruity, candy-like fragrances are released, alongside hints of skunk and spice. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, offering an initial burst of sweetness and candied fruit, followed by an earthy solidity and a lingering finish of spicy, herbal notes.
