Voodoo Chile

The hush of a city street late at night, where the air is thick with the mingled scents of earth and urban decay, softened by the glow of distant lights.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Voodoo Chile by Dries Van Noten is a Woody fragrance for women and men that launched in 2022. Created by perfumer Nicolas Beaulieu, the composition centers on an unexpected yet captivating cannabis note, which adds a distinctive edge to the traditional woody-aromatic base of rosemary, mastic, patchouli, sandalwood, and cedar. The result is a scent that feels both grounded and enigmatic, with a fresh spicy opening that transitions into warm, balsamic depths.

How to wear it

This fragrance has a strong presence due to its cannabis note, so one or two sprays are sufficient. Allow it time to settle on your skin before stepping out; the cannabis and patchouli notes bloom best close to the body rather than across a room.
