Aroma
Flavour
“Pungent, sweet-sour funk with an earthy, almost rubbery edge that the word itself now describes.”
The nose is the original 'skunk': pungent, sweet-sour funk with an earthy, almost rubbery edge that the word itself now describes. The effect is balanced and approachable — a happy, relaxed, gently euphoric hybrid high without extremes, the reason it became a global standard.
By today's potency standards it's moderate, and that even-handedness is exactly its character. As living history and a reliable everyday smoke, Skunk #1 still earns its place.

Skunk #1 is classified as hybrid in the SŌMA catalog. These labels are a loose shorthand rather than a precise prediction of effect; studies find they do not reliably track a plant's genetics or chemistry.
By sensory profile, the closest strains in the SŌMA catalog include Tangerine Dream, Gary Poppins and Snowman. SŌMA matches on aroma, flavour and effect rather than name alone.
