What does Sour Diesel smell like?

Sour Diesel is famous for its pungent, fuel-like aroma that has earned it the nickname “Diesel.” Its scent profile is a complex blend of:

  • Diesel/Fuel: A sharp, gassy smell that’s unmistakable and strong.
  • Citrus: Tangy, lemon-like notes that add a zesty brightness to the aroma.
  • Earthiness: A grounding, herbal scent that provides depth.
  • Skunkiness: A classic cannabis musk that adds to its pungency.

The strong smell of Sour Diesel is largely due to its terpene profile, which often includes:

  • Limonene (citrusy, uplifting)
  • Myrcene (earthy, musky, relaxing)
  • Caryophyllene (peppery, spicy, anti-inflammatory)

The combination of these terpenes creates the strain’s signature sharp, tangy, and slightly sweet aroma. Its smell is intense and lingers, so it’s often considered a “loud” strain that’s easy to identify!
