So what makes weed smell so good? Most people point to the terpenes, which are aromatic hydrocarbons that give cannabis its flavor and aroma.
Through some clever crossbreeding, cultivators have increased the terpene profile of their plants, regardless of whether they want them to taste like blueberry or mango.
This means you can pick up on some serious fruit flavors when you’re smoking some dank kush. That also means there’s more than just THC in your joint. There’s also a bouquet of mixed flavors.
Growing marijuana can be an expensive hobby. But, there are ways to make it more cost-effective and less smelly.
What Does Scent Reveal About A Strain?
The scent of weed can reveal a lot about the strain and how it was grown. There are typically two types of weed with different scents:
– Indica dominant marijuana strains – usually have a citrus or fruity scent, but sometimes spicy or skunky. This is the type that makes you sleepy and gives you the ‘munchies’.
– Sativa dominant marijuana strains – often have a sweet, musky, earthy scent. This is the type that makes you energetic, boosts your mood, and helps with mental focus.
The smell of marijuana can also be due to terpenes or terpenoids. These are chemicals produced by cannabis which gives them their unique aroma. The most common types are limonene, pinene, myrcene, linalool, caryophyllene, and humulene.
Humulene, for example, has a herbaceous, woody scent while linalool smells of lavender. Pinene can be pine-scented while myrcene smells musky. Limonene is the most commonly found terpene in weed with a citrus-like fragrance and is the most prevalent terpene in nature.
Limonene, Pinene, and Myrcene can also be found in other plants such as lemons, pine trees, verbena, and hops.
How To Make Marijuana Smell Better?

What Are The Popular Marijuana Scents?
Marijuana has a distinctive smell. It’s not for everyone, but those who enjoy it usually love the scent. There are many different scents associated with marijuana, the most popular being skunk and diesel.
Both of these smells can be enhanced by adding terpenes to your cannabis oil or smoking in a vaporizer, giving you more control over how much flavor is added to your smoke.
There are also other flavors available such as blueberry, strawberry kush, pineapple express, OG Kush, and cheesecake that have been specifically designed for people who prefer their weedless smelly or more fruity tasting than skunky.
These flavors come in various forms, including oils and waxes that can be vaped through pens or used to enhance the flavor of dried cannabis buds.
Skunky and diesel flavored weed both fall under the category of marijuana with a strong scent. They are by far not the only smells available, but they’re certainly the most popular ones.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that you should try out as many different flavors as possible until you find one that suits your taste buds and appeals to your olfactory senses.
What Makes Marijuana Smell Good?
Terpenes produce marijuana flavor. These are fragrant oils that make up the scent of cannabis and many other plants. Terpenes also determine how a strain will taste and smell, and this makes it possible to enhance the flavor of weed by adding terpenes to the cannabis oil or smoking it in a vaporizer.
What Are Terpenes?
Terpenes are the essential oils in cannabis that give marijuana its flavor. They can be smelled even before you start burning your weed or putting it in a vaporizer. The scent is so strong; many people use terpenes to make their weed more pleasant.
Like other essential oils, terpenes are highly concentrated, so even a few drops of terpene oil can influence the taste and smell of your entire batch of marijuana. To learn more about terpenes, check out this article on how terpenes work.
How Does Marijuana Smell On A Person?
Marijuana has a strong and distinctive odor that alerts people who are near to your smoking of what you’re doing. The smell can be both pleasant and unpleasant. It depends on the person’s opinion, as well as the marijuana strain smoked. Marijuana also smells differently on different parts of the body, such as hair or clothing.
How To Get Rid Of Marijuana Smell?
There are different ways to reduce the smell of marijuana. One way is to use a water bong, which filters out some of the smell. Another option is to rub lemon juice into your hair or clothing. This trick might last for an hour or two, depending on how much you apply and when it’s washed. You can also put dryer sheets in your pocket to help mask the smell.
All of these options are temporary, though. The best way to avoid a marijuana smell is to smoke it in a water pipe or vaporizer pen. These devices get more of the THC out of the product and into your system without emitting any smell at all. Marijuana has many medical uses, and it shouldn’t be treated as a dirty secret. If you do smoke, though, this guide can help you hide your smoking from others.
Key Takeaway
