Reliqvia

The fragrance community celebrates Reliqvia as a more approachable creation from the typically avant-garde house of Filippo Sorcinelli, while maintaining the brand's signature ecclesiastical character. This smoky-woody masterpiece opens with an intriguing blend of citrus and blackcurrant before revealing its true nature: a gothic cathedral captured in scent. Reviewers praise its impressive longevity of 8-12 hours and appreciate how it balances sacred incense with wearable woody notes. While some find it challenging to wear daily, many celebrate its artistic merit and its ability to transport the wearer to ancient stone churches and mystical forests. A gentler rebellion than its predecessors, yet still unmistakably Sorcinelli.
