Its low sillage and poor longevity make it unsuitable for high-impact events like sport, but perfect for intimate settings where its subtle beauty can be appreciated. The unique green and white floral notes, combined with its "ghostly" nature, lend it well to casual or romantic wear, but it's a bit too unconventional for many formal or office environments.

About

Relique D'Amour opens with a damp, verdant freshness, like crushed green leaves and mastic after a spring shower. The heart reveals the austere, peppery spice of lily and a touch of elemi, evoking cold stone and ancient chapels. It settles into a haunting base of blond woods, earthy oakmoss, and subtle beeswax, creating a clean yet melancholic embrace. The overall impression is one of sacred places reclaimed by nature, with a ghostly floral whisper.
