Scent Notes
Aldehydes, Incense, Jasmine, Rose
It begins with a crystalline spray of aldehydes and peach, luminous and immediately commanding. The top notes shimmer with an almost champagne-like radiance, settling into a gentle warmth that feels both sophisticated and utterly wearable. This is a fragrance that announces itself without demanding attention.
The middle notes reveal a lush, intoxicating heart where jasmine and rose bloom alongside whispers of incense. Here, the composition deepens—a subtle magnetic pull that sits close to the skin, creating an intimate conversation between wearer and scent. Vetiver threads through, adding a grounding elegance that prevents the florals from becoming saccharine.
As the fragrance evolves, patchouli and amber emerge from the base, wrapping everything in a warm, sensual embrace. With a moderate composed projection and 6–8 hours of longevity, Superstitious performs beautifully across all seasons, with particular radiance during warmer months. The sillage is noticeable enough to be felt, yet refined—never overwhelming.
