Description
<p>On this episode, Ryan and Amanda relive their tangie-scented trauma and talk about those big bright citrus profiles found in our favourite plant and the compounds that contribute to it. Despite the prevalence of Limonene-rich cultivars, we uncover why they don't always dominate citrus profiles as expected.</p>
<p>Drawing from Leafly's compilation of limonene-dominant strains and Abstrax's insightful analysis, we dissect the draw of citrus profiles and how terpene tests are doing a disservice to the profile. From the celebrated past to the present day analysis, we trace the lineage back to the days before Cali O and Skunk.</p>
<p>We unravel the complexities of scent preferences, exploring why some prefer a subtle breeze scented with orange blossoms and others go out of their way to drive by the garlic processing plant.</p>
<p>Let's explore the essence of exoticism in cultivars and how certain traits can elevate something ordinary into a luxury product. </p>
<p>Reach beyond the bottle of orange cleaner and grab a jar of something that smells like a candy-scented candle. Light up, and listen in, you can practically smell the Tropicanna-Sulphurs from here.</p>
