Relique d'Amour by Oriza L. Legrand is a Chypre fragrance for Women

The abandoned chapel of a Cistercian abbey.
Cold stonewalls, covered in Moss.
The scent of waxen wood, of the tabernacle and ornate pews.
The linseed oil of the unfinished painting.
Myrrh and Frankincense still linger in the air,
When a peppery whiff catches you, unawares:
That of white lilies, still fresh and yet so spicy.
The subtle scent of golden pollen mingles with that of solemn green leaves.
A beam of light breaks through the stained-glass windows illuminating this olfactory tumult of feelings, shifting from humility to jubilation.
A divine call.

Super nice!

Everything came fast, great, scents are real. The only thing I would change - make even 1-2ml samples as spray. Scent doesn’t stay a while if you just pour it, but this is good option to explore

DELICIOUS

If you want to smell mysterious and ancient but also earthy this smell is perfect. It reminds me of my trip to Turkey and how walking through the mountains with churches carved into them smelled. I love.

Gorgeous unique scent

This was a total winner for me. A lovely lily scent but also so much more. Wet earth, old stone, forlorn memories. Haunting but also intoxicating. I am so glad I picked this one up because I haven't smelled anything else like it.

Lasts longer than you would expect, especially on clothes.

Relique d’Amour

AMOUR! It smells like some fantastical Arthurian legend, walks through grassy fields dotted with white lilies, and small mossy streams. 5/5

Not Disappointed for a Blind Buy

It wasn't as light of a scent as I thought it would be, but the grassiness/earthiness makes any other perfume smell INSANE when layering. It lasts longer than budget perfumes as expected.

choir practice and dry earth

This one goes through phases, when first applied it's incense-forward almost to a fault, then a moment of animalic body odor funk. When dried thoroughly it's lovely, woody and earthen and floral, clean but not sterile, utterly un-chemical.

Tam Lin in a Bottle

This was a lovely perfume, though I had a single gripe with it: Longevity. It goes skin scent in about three hours, so not exactly a beast mode performance. However, it is a lovely perfume. Earthy, cold, and blurry, in a sense; it has no sharp green edges, the pepper and pine do not sear your nose. Instead, they're barely there, ghosts of an odor. However, these faint hints work in favor of Relique. They create the most fantastical forest smell, it's damp, it's floral, it's a little ferny, it's loamy and foggy and mossy. The image of an abandoned, mossy chapel in a rainy woodland is spot on. Absolutely beautiful, and does a main lily note in a way that isn't harsh or grating, but actually very subtle and pleasant. At its very end (About 4ish hours in), it's a vague and ghostly odor. It smells like fresh rain sitting on the skin, with just the slightest hint of a leafy floral. Truly a work of art; a relic of love indeed. In three words: pure, beautiful, and lonely.

Overall: Gorgeous beyond belief, but only buy a fullsize if you love earthy scents or lily notes. Also: Performance is more on par with a nice EDT rather than a punchy, long-lived EDP.
