Which Should You Buy?
This one is exactly what it says on the tin: full-on, unadulterated incense. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with fans praising its authentic churchy vibes and detractors finding it too linear or unwearable. Don't blind buy unless you live for frankincense.
Reliqvia is the ultimate love-it-or-hate-it scent. For some, it's a profound, spiritual experience; for others, it's an unwearable olfactory assault. If you're after a niche church incense, prepare for an uncompromising ride.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
With its strong, long-lasting performance and divisive nature, Reliqvia is far too potent and attention-grabbing for a typical office or casual setting. It finds its footing in formal or artistic events where its unique, churchy character can be appreciated without overwhelming others, though many reviews still deem it unwearable for public use.
