What does Voodoo Chile smell like?

It opens on cannabis and rosemary, green and spicy. At the heart, mastic and Indonesian patchouli turn resinous and earthy, while fruity and sweet accords soften the edges. The base settles on Virginia cedar and New Caledonian sandalwood.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter not far behind, and it leans towards leisure, evening and night-out wear. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it reads as genuinely in between. April Aromatics Precious Woods and Obvious Un Patchouli have a close profile.
