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.

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.

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

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

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.
