Origin
Mandarin Sunset is Herijuana crossed with Orange Velvet, from Ethos Genetics, though some sources write the orange parent as Orange Skunk. It has eleven descendants on file and sits behind much of the citrus-forward corner of newer breeding. Ethos is the originator, but the strain is widely grown under other brand names, so the grower matters as much as the label.

About
Mandarin Sunset smells like orange candy with a clove of garlic in it.
Ethos Genetics crossed Herijuana with Orange Velvet in Colorado, and the result became a heavy evening indica and a parent to a long line of citrus strains. Orange and five-spice on the nose, weight underneath.
It is built for sleep.
What to Expect
Mandarin Sunset is a wind-down strain. Leafly's reviewers lead with relaxed at 75 percent of a solid sample, with happy at 57 and sleepy at 50, and the arc runs from a short mood lift into a heavy body. Sources place it firmly at night.
The side effects are light: dry mouth at 21 percent, dry eyes at 14, and an anxious note only at 7. Not a daytime or working strain.
Flavor and Aroma
Mandarin Sunset is bright orange and mango citrus with a sharp, skunky, peppery edge that some describe as garlic or five-spice. The flavor keeps the orange with that savory note underneath. It is a divisive smell rather than a clean fruit one.
Terpenes Explained
Mandarin Sunset's measured panel leads with Limonene, from about 0.32 to 0.42 percent, then Caryophyllene near 0.28 and Myrcene near 0.2, with Terpinolene present.
The savory garlic note some people get does not appear in the panel; it comes from heavier aromatic compounds a routine test does not separate out. A jar that reads as bright orange first, with the funk underneath, is the balance you want.
Cannabinoids and Potency
Mandarin Sunset THC is reported from about 15 to 25 percent, a wide range, with the lab-measured sample near 17. CBD can reach just over one percent.
Mandarin Sunset is an evening strain first, so save it for a night you can give over to the couch.
