Dries Van Noten Voodoo Chile is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Nicolas Beaulieu. Voodoo Chile opens with Rosemary and Cannabis, settles into a heart of Mastic and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Sandalwood. Dries Van Noten's Voodoo Chile carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper grower. Initial whiffs can be polarising - some get BO, others get turpentine - but stick with it. The drydown is where the magic happens: a creamy, sophisticated cannabis-laced embrace. Definitely one to test before you commit.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its unique and sometimes polarising opening, make it less suited for conservative office environments. However, its sensual and intriguing drydown is perfect for dates, while its unique character can work well for casual outings or more edgy, creative formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with an intriguing, almost electric green flash of rosemary, quickly joined by a fresh, herbal cannabis note that avoids anything skunky. This sharp opening mellows into a heart of earthy patchouli and the subtly resinous mastic. The journey concludes on a gorgeously warm, creamy base of sandalwood and cedar, leaving a rich, woody, and slightly sweet trail that hints at sophisticated mystery.
