Soooooo, I came across some interesting stuff on YouTube about adding sweeteners and flavoring to your soil for plant absorption. Namely, LorAnn flavoring oils. Does anyone have any experience with using them or any other brand of extract/oil to enhance the smell and flavor profile in plants???

I use sugars on soil so the bacterias can absorb and break down nutrients for the plant. Thats why you add sugar on a soil, so you can enhance funghi fermentation on the roots

I've been using blackstrap molasses tea in flower for the potassium as well as it feeds the beneficial's in my soil, as I was getting potassium deficiency. .Seems to work well, and it's cheap...and I keep saying I'm gonna make some badass cookies

Do you notice any difference in the taste and smell of your plants?

Sugars are just for microbes. Dont use more than a teaspoon per gallon of water. Too much sugar will cause you problems.
If you want better flavor, make sure your soil is well made and your environment is good. There's no such thing as magic here.
