The THC content of this strain is reported to be around 19%-32% THC and actually has little to no CBD involved in its genetics. Some describe the smell as the taste, earthy and diesel-y due to the indica dominance of the strain it can have the odor of the common kush. Just like your favourite French cheese, Gorilla Glue is known for its stink due to its high THC content it can smell pretty strong. Although, some find they enjoy the kushy taste in combination with the sativa-like high that the bud creates.
