Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Reliqvia Eau de Parfum

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.

Our Verdict - Reve d'Ossian Eau de Parfum

Prepare for a proper church service in a bottle. This is a divisive one - some find it absolutely divine, a true masterpiece of atmospheric incense. Others reckon it's nothing short of nauseating. You'll either love or loathe its strong, unyielding character.

Reliqvia Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Also Works:

Formal

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.

Best For:

Formal

Also Works:

Date

Its potent projection and unique 'churchy' character make it less suitable for everyday office wear, though some find it acceptable in smaller doses. It's an excellent choice for a formal event or a chilly date night where its warmth and depth can truly shine, but too heavy for casual daytime use or sport.
