About

Reliquia derives from the Latin verb “relinquo” which means “I leave”. The Latin term “reliquiae” and in Greek “λείψανα”, is generally understood as “what remains”, referring to the human body or part of it. In the Christian context with this word we speak of a part of the body or an object that belonged to Christ, to the Holy Virgin or to the mortal remains of those who are recognized as martyrs and saints and, more generally, to other objects that have been in contact with their body.Reliqvia is the nail of the Passion, layered and peaty incense from the solemn and sacred years. There is no sacred, if men do not recognize the sacred, and exalt it in perfect rites. Reliqvia is the perfect sacred space.Touching the relics, touching something that has been in contact with them is a grace and a guarantee: for this reason the Romans tore the veils that had covered the holy martyrs and in which the corpses of the popes were wrapped. This is why the popes were precisely wrapped in those veils. In front of the relics the fools are healed, the possessed and the obsessed liberated, the blind find their sight, the lame start walking again …

About
Reve d'Ossian by Oriza L. Legrand is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women and men. Reve d'Ossian was launched in 1900. Top notes are Incense and Pine Tree; middle notes are Benzoin, elemi, Opoponax, Cinnamon, Tonka Bean and Guaiac Wood; base notes are Frankincense, Myrrh and Tolu Balsam. "Ossianizm is romantic poetry style in Europe in the XIX century. Ossian is the narrator and purported author of a cycle of celtic and epic poems. Ossian was influential in the development of the romantic movement at the end of the XVIIIth and the XIXth century.The poems achieved international success (Napoléon Bonaparte was a great fan) and many writers, painters and artists were influenced by the works, including Ingres, Schubert and Oriza L. Legrand Perfumes. The work also had a timely resonance for those swept away by the emerging Romantic movement and the theory of the "noble savage". "Rêve d'Ossian" is a perfect perfume for those who claim a difference and the rich heritage of the History. Dark and precious essences, wooden notes filled with the mystery of the forest with fairies and pixies..." - a note from the brand.
