Herbal scent cannabis seed strains cover a massive range of smells and flavours, from woody and earthy right through to bright citrus and floral.
These aromas come from the different terpenes packed into each seed, giving off everything from fresh lemon peel and pine forests to spicy garlic and sweet berries.
Collectors love these strains for their standout smells, which show off the plant's natural chemistry.
Read MoreThe terpenes behind the smells
Terpenes are the natural compounds that give herbal cannabis strains their different scents. Limonene brings zingy citrus notes that smell like fresh lemon zest, it’s in Super Lemon Haze and Tangie, where it adds that uplifting, zesty kick.
Myrcene gives off hop-like or lemongrass vibes with earthy, spicy, and tangy hints, plus a touch of sweetness. Pinene smells like fresh pine and wood, while linalool adds floral and herbal layers.
Humulene and myrcene together create earthy, musky scents that are reminiscent of the outdoors. In the wild, these terpenes can pull in pollinators or keep pests away, working as the plant's own defence system.
Citrus and fruity herbal strains
Citrus-heavy strains stand out with bright, cheerful aromas. Super Lemon Haze hits with a powerful lemon scent and a hint of candy sweetness, while Tangie smells like just-peeled fresh orange, with a sweet fruity mix underneath.
Strawberry Cough brings the smell of ripe strawberries layered with skunky and berry notes, the sweetness comes from myrcene, which also adds some earthy depth. Cherry Pie smells like a warm cherry pie fresh from the oven, blending fruity and herbal warmth.
Blue Mystic gives off a soft blueberry scent with fresh earth, and it's so subtle it’s often mistaken for regular garden flowers, no skunky cannabis smell here.
Blue Cheese mixes berry and cheese notes that get stronger over time, creating a funky herbal aroma that's hard to forget.
Earthy, woody, and pungent picks
OG Kush delivers a classic robust earthy flavour with a woody backbone, while Northern Lights offers sweet, spicy earthiness that's typical of herbal strains.

How strong are the smells?
Aroma strength varies a lot between herbal strains, but it doesn't tell anything about how potent the plant is, some strong varieties smell quite mild.
Strains rich in terpinolene have a clear herbal scent, while other terpene mixes can smell fruity and sweet or pungent and earthy. Each seed variety's chemical makeup shapes its unique flavour and aroma, making herbal strains a really varied group for collectors.
Whether a strain bursts with citrus or whispers earthy notes, it's the terpene mix that defines its smell.
