Bitter smoke, stale wood like a dusty, old attic.
Balsamic, metallic incense & warmth of cloves.
A musky, smooth base of spiced sandalwood.

Definitely one of my most favorites from Filippo. It's even more beautiful during winter when you use the diffuser of Reliqvia at home. Very calming and meditative in my humble opinion

@LeatherLace I love the way he uses incense and find myself in a state of self-reflection.
I grew up around catholic church and even studied at a piarist gymnasium, yet I don’t get any churchy vibes, so LAVS, Quando and Reliqvia are easy wears.
Any other reccomendations?

Sounds interesting. Remind me - what's a 7 longevity mean for you? 7 hours or?

@Smirky 6-7 hours, understated. Overspraying helps a bit.
This performance seems to be universal for Italian incense.

He uses that dusty, old attic accord in quite a few of his fragrances. It's an accent I wish was present in more perfumes out there, IMO it's really beautiful and transportative.

@TheDunkPapa that certainly adds to the meditative aspect, next to metallic incense.
So far it's a 10 for LAVS which is more cold and clinical with its peppery nature, 9.5 for Quando which takes a creamier, fruity approach.
Oddly enough, Reliqvia goes full Bracken on me once the smoke settles. It's all about cloves and sandalwood with a musky undertone.
