Named for its fresh and clean scent, French Laundry is a hybrid strain created by Maven, who crossed The Soap with proprietary genetics L.A. Rouge. This strain has fluffy, dark-colored nugs with long, thin hairs and a generous layer of trichomes coating the flower. As you may expect, it smells like laundry detergent — soapy and floral, but with unexpected notes of diesel and cheese. The high is balanced, relaxing the mind and releasing stress without full couch lock.
This strain has been highly awarded since its release in 2022. However, you won’t see French Laundry on your dispensary shelves. Parent brand Maven had to change the strain name back in 2023 due to a cease-and-desist letter from a restaurant with the same name. The strain now goes by FKAFL, or “Formerly Known as French Laundry.”
As growers can name strains anything they would like, there is at least one other hybrid strain on the market named French Laundry, a cross between Platinum Cookes and Grandaddy Purp.
