"What remains": A Concrete Trace of the Sacred

Reliqvia (from the Latin reliquiae, meaning "what remains") is an olfactory manifestation of the Church of the Cross in Senigallia, a place where history, art, and the relics of the Passion of Christ converge. Filippo Sorcinelli crafts this scent as a "precious case," protecting the memory of the divine and the passage of time.

The fragrance is a masterpiece of vertical complexity. It opens with an intriguing contrast of Sweet Orange and Blackcurrant against the aromatic sharpness of Scots Pine and Mastic. As the scent travels deeper into the "oratory," a heart of Liturgical Incense and Patchouli emerges, grounded by the warmth of Cloves and Amyris. The final evolution leaves a profound, eternal trail of Smoke, Tobacco Leaf, and Guaiac Wood, evoking the centuries-old wooden walls and coffered ceilings of a sacred sanctuary.
