Filippo Sorcinelli - Reliqvia

Filippo Sorcinelli Reliqvia (Opus 1144 collection, 2020) is not a fragrance in the usual sense. It is the literal scent of a medieval reliquary being opened after 900 years: frozen church air, saintly bones, centuries of candle smoke, tears of myrrh and frankincense, dusty oak, and the pale breath of sanctified death.

Filippo Sorcinelli Reliqvia is a deeply evocative extrait de parfum inspired by sacred relics—objects preserved, cherished, and wrapped in centuries of devotion. Much like LAVS, Reliqvia reflects Sorcinelli’s artistic universe of spirituality, liturgy, and handcrafted symbolism. But where LAVS is cathedral-like incense, Reliqvia feels like the relic chamber itself: dark, silent, resinous, and steeped in forgotten incense smoke absorbed into ancient wood.If you’ve ever wanted to smell like a Gothic cathedral at 3 a.m. in winter, this is it.
