Filippo Sorcinelli's perfume Reliquia derives from the Latin verb relinquo, meaning "I leave."

In a Christian context, this word refers to a part of the body or an object that belonged to Christ, the Madonna, or the mortal remains of those recognized as martyrs and saints, and, more generally, to those objects that came into contact with them.

Reliquia speaks of walls covered in gilded wood, finely decorated with carvings and reliefs, it speaks of the incensed steps towards the grand high altar, like a golden embroidery, where the statue of the dead Christ, a 17th-century wooden artwork, is kept and visible only once a year.

Reliquia is therefore a place to meet to evoke memory, to remember the passage of time which becomes solemn and authentic gold, a message of corruptibility and incorruptibility.

Reliquia is the concrete trace, the last trace, to describe in life an existence above us, different and prodigious.

It is the ever-closed wardrobe, the precious keeping place of holy men that makes us understand that time is precious and risks running out without us leaving a clear mark in life.

Reliquia is the nail of the Passion, stratified and peated incense from solemn and sacred years.

Reliquia is the perfect space of the sacred.
