One of those strains with unknown origins, Orange Velvet is reported to be a cross of Orange Skunk and another strain that likely originated from the Pacific Northwest.The strain was popularized after Mz Jill of TGA Genetics was gifted the strain, initially under the name Melvin, from a medical patient named Luanne, who had multiple sclerosis (MS). The strain was renamed Orange Velvet because Mz Jill claims that Melvin was “an ugly name for such a beautiful girl.”

Orange Velvet is said to smell and taste like an earthy mix of orange, vanilla, and sweetness.
