Superstitious vs Shalimar Eau de Parfum

Superstitious is recognized as a quality Frederic Malle fragrance that has become an overlooked gem primarily due to its discontinuation and steep pricing. While praised for its craftsmanship, the fragrance's disappointing longevity and astronomical secondary market prices ($600+) have limited its appeal compared to other similarly-priced options in the FM collection.

Shalimar is celebrated by the r/fragrance community as a landmark fragrance that deserves recognition despite its age, praised for its sensual character and impressive performance. The community appreciates it as a historic female-marketed perfume that breaks the mold of contemporary fragrances, with strong longevity and a beautiful evolution throughout wear.
