The smell was initially largely herbal before it was dried. Eucalyptus comes to mind. Once dried, it really does smell like when you peel a mango, with the herbal/eucalyptus-y smell following very closely behind.
I can't say much about taste. I've never been one of those people who can tell different smell 'notes' while smoking, so I'm not gonna start making shit up. It smoked and tasted like weed. Solid, dense draw, but smooth as far as I'm concerned.
I really enjoy the high. I spontaneously wrote an entire essay while high; the ideas just came flooding. Mustn't lay down on a couch though, because if I do, I can't get up. I say that it might have a paranoia effect, just because I don't trust myself to behave normally around people when high, as I became seriously chatty, and focus/obsess over minute details. I'm pretty sure that's suspicious behavior.
During the last 2-3 weeks of flowering, it became apparent that it had phosphorus deficiency, as pointed out by the kind masters here in growdiaries. I upped the P using MKP (a typical bloom booster), but I don't know if it did anything. Maybe it stopped the progression, I don't know.
Also during the last half of the flowering, the pH swing was crazy. I'd pH the rez high to 6.5, and it would have dropped to 5.6 by the 2nd day. This plant was eating a lot. I need to figure out a better flowering nute for my next grows.
