The abandoned chapel of a Cistercian abbey. Cold stone walls, covered in moss. The waxen wood of ornate pews, the linseed oil of an unfinished painting. Myrrh and frankincense linger in the air, along with . spicy white lilies. The subtle scent of golden pollen mingles with that of solemn green leaves. The call of the divine.
Perfumer: Hugo Lambert
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a fragrance for close, quiet presence: someone moving through a dim room of stone and wood, leaving behind a clean trail of lily, moss and resin. It feels most natural in intimate settings where its cool floral clarity can read as composed, contemplative and slightly austere.
How to wear
Best worn with a light hand, especially in mild to cool weather, where its green opening and incense-lily heart stay crisp rather than dense. One to three sprays are usually enough; on skin it reads airy and mossy, while in the air it gives a soft, devotional halo with a dry resinous finish.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like floral scents with structure: green, mossy, incense-laced and quietly unusual. It will appeal to those who prefer pale white florals, dry resins and a restrained, contemplative style over sweetness or obvious polish.
Release year
1900; reorchestrated in 2012
The nose
Hugo Lambert. Lambert is associated with the 2012 reworking of Oriza L. Legrand’s Relique d’Amour, a fragrance that suits his taste for atmospheric, historically inflected compositions. His work here balances clarity and restraint: green lift, pale florals and resinous depth, with the scent’s chapel-like mood kept airy rather than heavy. As a perfumer, Lambert is linked to the revival of Oriza L. Legrand and to the house’s effort to reinterpret archival ideas for a modern audience. In Relique d’Amour, that means preserving the fragrance’s devotional, mossy character while sharpening its freshness and making the floral-incense structure feel more transparent on skin.
Collaborators
Franck Belaiche helped steer the modern relaunch of Oriza L. Legrand and the return of its heritage fragrances, shaping the broader creative direction behind the 2012 reissue. The fragrance itself was then developed as part of that revival, with Hugo Lambert translating the house’s archival, abbey-inspired idea into the current composition.
Oriza L. Legrand’s story
Oriza L. Legrand is a historic French house built on perfume heritage, craftsmanship and a distinctly archival imagination. Its identity draws on old Paris, courtly refinement and the language of traditional French perfumery, but it presents that legacy with a romantic, slightly mystical sensibility rather than museum-like stiffness.
Relique d'Amour’s concept
Relique d’Amour belongs to the house’s patrimonial story: a fragrance linked to Oriza L. Legrand’s early-20th-century heritage and later brought back in the modern relaunch of the brand. The current version keeps the original’s devotional imagery alive, evoking a Cistercian abbey, cold stone, moss, incense and lilies, as if a sacred interior had been translated into scent.
Extra info
Relique d’Amour is one of Oriza L. Legrand’s heritage names, with roots commonly traced to 1900 and a modern reissue in 2012. The current formula highlights lily, linseed, elemi, oakmoss and terebinth, and the house frames it through the image of an abandoned Cistercian chapel.
Celebrity connection
Isabella Adjani has been mentioned in secondary sources as having liked the fragrance and bought it for herself, but this is not confirmed as an official endorsement.
