Filippo Sorcinelli Reliqvia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Reliqvia opens with Mastic, Amyris, Orange Blossom, and Pine, settles into a heart of Cashmere Wood, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Guaiac Wood, and dries down to a base of Smoke, Orange, Nutmeg, and Tobacco. Filippo Sorcinelli's Reliqvia carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

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.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best 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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a sharp, green burst of pine and orange blossom, underscored by the dusty spice of clove and the earthy resin of mastic. This quickly deepens into a rich heart of smoky incense, guaiac wood, and cashmere, conjuring ancient spaces. The base rounds out with dark blackcurrant, dry tobacco, and a lingering, almost metallic smoke, evoking contemplation and deep solitude.
