"Superstitious is a dramatic floral Eau de Parfum created by Dominique Ropion in collaboration with Frédéric Malle and Alber Elbaz. Its character is built around an imposing aldehydic opening, giving the fragrance a bright, fizzy, soapy edge. Turkish rose and Egyptian jasmine form a dark, opulent floral heart, while peach adds a dry, slightly tart fruit nuance. Haitian vetiver, patchouli, amber, and related resinous materials create an austere, smoky foundation. The fragrance has a strong couture sensibility and recalls the high-drama style of classic French aldehydic florals. It is known for exceptional persistence and a bold, polarizing presence."

Reviews Summary

“Superstitious is widely regarded as an imposing, high-drama reinterpretation of classic French couture perfumery. Reviewers consistently emphasize its biting, fizzy, soapy aldehydic opening, followed by a dry peach nuance and an airy yet dark rose-jasmine core. Haitian vetiver, amber, frankincense-like resinous facets, and patchouli give the dry-down an austere, smoky character. Longevity is often reported to exceed 15 hours, with intense, room-filling sillage. The fragrance is admired by collectors of vintage-style aldehydic florals but can be polarizing for wearers who prefer softer contemporary compositions.”
