Cookies × Lemon Skunk × Super Lemon Haze × Cookies & Cream × Blueberry × Ice Cream Cake × Gelato
Soufflé is a boutique, indica-leaning cultivar celebrated for its dessert-forward profile. It is recognized for a balanced, mood-lifting experience that often concludes with a calming sensation.
Appearance
Soufflé buds are typically medium to large and spade-shaped, featuring dense calyx stacking. They are often covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a sugary sheen. Bud coloration can range from lime to forest green, with vibrant tangerine pistils. Some phenotypes may develop lavender or plum hues, especially under cooler temperatures.
The ground material is notably sticky and resinous, indicating a high oil content. This tackiness often correlates with a rich terpene profile. Magnified views reveal thick trichome carpets with a high proportion of cloudy heads when harvested optimally.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Soufflé is a complex blend of sweet confectionary notes, such as vanilla and frosted dough, combined with bright citrus or ripe berry undertones. Subtle hints of white pepper, nutmeg, and herbal coolness can also be detected. This profile is largely driven by terpenes like limonene, linalool, and beta-caryophyllene.
On the palate, Soufflé typically begins with a creamy, vanillic sweetness reminiscent of batter, transitioning to lemon zest or blueberry compote. The finish often carries a peppery warmth and a slight herbal coolness. A lingering sweet-cream aftertaste is commonly reported.
Effects
Soufflé is generally associated with a mood-lifting experience that begins brightly and concludes with a calming sensation. Users often report a sense of ease and tranquility, making it a suitable choice for unwinding.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Soufflé commonly exhibits a terpene profile rich in limonene, linalool, and beta-caryophyllene, contributing to its characteristic citrus, floral, and bakery aromas. Myrcene, ocimene, humulene, and bisabolol may also be present in supporting roles. Cannabinoid content typically shows THC levels ranging from 18-26%, with CBD levels below 1%.
Growing
Soufflé plants are generally medium in stature with strong lateral branching. They are known for producing resin-drenched calyxes. Cultivation requires attention to maintaining bud structure and preserving the trichome mantle through careful drying and curing processes.
Origins & Lineage
Emerging in the late 2010s, Soufflé is a boutique cultivar developed during the dessert-wave breeding era. It is often described as a family of closely related phenotypes rather than a single clone, frequently tracing its lineage to Cookies-descended genetics crossed with citrus or berry parents. Variations like Lemon Soufflé and Blueberry Soufflé highlight these influences.
