Launched in 1900 by Hugo Lambert for Oriza L. Legrand, Relique D'Amour is a composition that captures the essence of an era where opulence and refinement were intertwined with nature's raw elements. The fragrance opens with green leaves and terebinth tree, creating a fresh and earthy contrast to the warm spices like pepper and elemi. At its heart, white lily and olibanum (frankincense) bring a delicate floral sweetness, while woody notes and musk in the base add depth and warmth. This unisex scent is both lasting and evocative of an era when fragrances were crafted with meticulous care.

Application Tips
Relique D'Amour has a distinctively green opening that fades within an hour, so apply it liberally on pulse points. The warm spicy and woody base notes take time to develop, making this fragrance best suited for evenings or cooler weather when its richness can fully unfold.

The story behind the bottle.
The crisp air of a well-tended garden at dusk, where the scent of fresh-cut grass and blooming flowers mixes with the subtle warmth of woody spices.
