Best Seasons

Best For:

Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its nuclear performance and bold, attention-grabbing character, Superstitious is best suited for formal events and date nights where its sillage can make a statement without overwhelming. It's too potent and distinctive for office wear or casual settings, and definitely not built for sport.

About

Superstitious opens with a thunderous blast of sparkling aldehydes, immediately conjuring a rich, abstract floral bouquet. Soon, indolic jasmine and velvety rose emerge, enveloped by a juicy peach that adds a touch of sweetness. As it settles, smoky incense and earthy patchouli lend a mysterious depth, grounded by a clean, dry vetiver and a warm amber embrace. It's a scent that dances between vintage grandeur and sleek modernity.
