Filippo Sorcinelli Unum RELIQVIA Extrait de Parfum

A Sacred Trace in Resinous Darkness

RELIQVIA - a name that lingers like a whispered prayer, drifting on incense smoke and the silence of ancient rituals. Derived from the Latin relinquo – I leave behind – it evokes the essence of what remains when all that is tangible has vanished: the fragment, the relic, the sacred residue of something once divine. In Christian tradition, reliquiae are sacred remnants – of saints, martyrs, and the holy – relics that embody eternity within the confines of mortality.

Fragrance as Devotion

With RELIQVIA, Filippo Sorcinelli composes a deeply spiritual Extrait de Parfum, an olfactory chapel built from incense, patchouli, and guaiac wood, resonating with reverence and ritual. It does not speak—it contemplates. Scots pine resin adds a raw, forested solemnity, while clove, mastic, and amyris introduce a balsamic austerity that wraps the soul in silent introspection.

At its heart lies a surprising tension: blackcurrant, dark and quietly defiant, as if to remind us of the sweetness hidden in sorrow. Around it swirl orange blossom, nutmeg, and gentle florals, inviting fleeting glimpses of warmth. The base notes—cashmere wood, sandalwood, smoky nuances, tobacco leaves, and a touch of elemi—anchor the composition, both earthly and unearthly in its final resonance.

A Perfume Like a Relic

RELIQVIA Extrait de Parfum is not designed for adornment—it is meant to be experienced, like touching the fabric of the sacred. The bottle itself is a work of art: rust-colored and pierced by a nail, it visually channels the imagery of relics and sacrifice. This is not merely a fragrance, but a meditation in scent—one that honors what's left behind, and asks what still lives in the stillness.

Wear RELIQVIA when beauty alone is not enough—when You seek something with weight, with soul. Discover this powerful, long-lasting unisex Extrait de Parfum now at scent amor, and let it guide You inward, toward the essence of Your own being.
