Superstitious

By the editors · 2 min readSuperstitious opens with an immediate jolt of Egyptian incense—sharp, resinous, almost medicinal in its intensity. The frankincense here isn't polite or church-like; it's raw and slightly acrid, cutting through the air with purpose. Rose appears quickly but stays in shadow, lending a subtle sweetness that never blooms fully into floral territory.

As it settles, the composition grows warmer and more grounded. The incense smoke mingles with what reads as leather or labdanum, creating a feeling of worn fabric in a temple corridor. There's a mineral quality throughout, as if the fragrance were etched into stone rather than sprayed onto skin.

This is incense for those who want it undiluted and unapologetic. It wears close but projects decisively in its first hours, eventually fading to a skin-level haze. Best suited to cooler weather and anyone who finds most woody orientals too cautious. Not an everyday choice, but compelling when the mood demands something uncompromising.
