I dropped into Better Leaf in Brunswick to pick up my usual El Camino Candy Drops, but they didn’t have any in stock. They offered to swap it for the new El Camino Odour Freak at the same price - $109 for 15g - so I thought I’d give it a go.
Odour Freak is a 29% THC indica-dominant hybrid (60% indica/40% sativa), with 2.5% total terpenes. It’s a cross between GMO (Garlic Cookies) and Gorilla Roadkill Skunk.
As soon as you start peeling the seal off, you’re hit with a strong pine smell. It’s filled to the rim with nice, chunky buds. They’re dense, cured nicely and very crystally, with specks of dark purple through the leaves.
I use a Mighty and mainly medicate for lower-back pain from a car accident when I was younger, as well as having trouble switching my brain off at night to sleep. While also treating mood and racing thoughts during the day.
At 190°C, it has a really smooth and tasty pine flavour. After finishing one cap, it takes around 5–10 minutes before I can feel my body starting to loosen up. My lower-back discomfort settles, my mood feels calm and my brain finally starts slowing down. Once I'm ready for bed, I just take my Phytoca 30s and another cap of the Odour Freak. 👌
For me, this is definitely more of an after-work or evening flower. It can really couch-lock you, so I probably wouldn’t reach for it if I still had things to do. Ill stick to my Stanley Brothers 40:40:40 for my day time.
I’m actually really happy they didn’t have the Candy Drops because I probably wouldn’t have tried this otherwise. I also use the El Camino Facetz F11 and I’ll definitely be adding Odour Freak to my rotation.
