La Liturgie des Heures

I'm kind of crushed. I'm in love with this perfume, but it only lasted about an hour on me and didn't project at all. It's a lovely frankincentric fragrance, certainly a churchy scent. I see a lot of comparisons to Cardinal in particular, but you could easily compare it with tons of other similar churchy fragrances. They all have their subtleties. This one is delicate and serene, like a bright, cozy chapel rather than a huge, cold cathedral. For me, the feelings and imagery are along the lines of Relique d'Amour and Plein Jeu III-V. Those are more lemony, I'm just talking about the ambience, not that they are identical fragrances. In La Liturgie, the frankincense is sharp and piney. Definitely has a green feel to it, like mass held in a forest. I notice a pleasant sweetness. I like that this sweetness isn't creamy, it's more along the lines of fresh sap or fresh maple water. Clean and clear. The only other time I have smelled this beautiful note is in Guerlain's Winter Delice. I would still be very tempted to purchase a bottle. It might perform better with a strong spray. It's rare that I say this, but I love the scent so much that I might actually be ok with frequent reapplication.

Parfümümüzün ismi Fransızca'da "saatlerin ayinleri" anlamına geliyor. Koku yapısı itibariyle benim tenimde en azından şu an itibariyle 4 saati doldurdu. Ancak performans olarak ilk 2 saat iyiyken sonrasında tene yaklaşmakta ve 4 saat sonunda da zaten dip notalarını sunmakta. Açılışı oldukça güçlü şekilde açılan selvi ve tütsü ile bana biraz HdP 1740'ı anımsattı. Ancak sonrasında oldukça dumansı bir halde ilerledi. Uzun bir süre gerçek tütsü hissini yaşadım. Koku olarak gerçekten tütsüyü sevenler için oldukça güçlü. Ben pek bu şekilde kullanılan tütsüleri sevmesem de açılışını beğendim. Orta notalarda hoşuma gitmemeye başladı. Selvi kendini iyice gösterdi. Bana karanlık bir hissiyat veren bu nota ile kokumuz bana yanan bir ormandan gecenin bir vakti ve bir başıma kaçıyormuşum hissi ile yayılımına devam etti. Sonlara doğru ise, oldukça kremsi oryantal notalar ile kapanışı yaptı. Kapanışı da selvi olmasa sevebilirdim. Ancak selvi(cypress) ve tütsü(incense) notalarını tanımak için oldukça referans yapıda.

I bought this flavor(perfume) during my passage in bets in the new perfume shop Jovoy, I tested some big flavor(perfume) but that there transported me there where the description plans him(it)! I really travelled, the promise had! A feeling of presence without overflowing(brimming) strength! I am not enough affuté for descrire the various note olfactive present (I invite to make him(it) for the "noses" of the site!) but for those who likes(loves) the sparfums with a soul, an almost religious sense(direction), me I was then touched why not you? French version: j'ai acheté ce parfum lors de mon passage à Paris dans la nouvelle parfumerie Jovoy, j'ai testé plusieurs grand parfum mais celui là m'a transporté là où le descriptif le prévoit! j'ai vraiment voyagé, la promesse était tenue! Un sentiment de présence sans force débordante! je ne suis pas assez affuté pour descrire les différents notes olfactives présentes (j'invite à le faire aux "nez" du site!) mais pour ceux qui aime les parfums avec une âme, un sens quasi religieux, moi j'ai été touché alors pourquoi pas vous?

Picture this: You've grown tired of devotion, yet, it seems comforting. It's never truly left you, so you've never truly left it either. Even now, as you sit in a far away house, not remembering how you got there, you still find yourself looking out at the forest, at the fields, praying. Exactly like you used to. You still wear the same necklace, with the same religious symbol. Your room still has so many pictures from years ago, you still care for the plants you were given as a gift, you still read from the same prayer book before you sleep. People find you fascinating. A bit unapproachable, yes— but fascinating nonetheless. You still smile, but it's now hollow. Just another something you never really stopped doing. And you still let the rain and wind mess up your hair. Yet, it's all changed. You're not where you grew up, and don't remember how you got away. Yet your spirit is there, still there. Always there. (UPDATE: im so done with travel sizes, will be purchasing the 100ml in abt a month.)

La Liturgie des Heures by Jovoy Paris can be summed up in two words: church incense. It captures the solemn, smoky stillness of an old cathedral—cold stone, whispering silence, and drifting trails of frankincense. But unlike warm, cozy incense scents, this one feels distant and detached, almost austere. There’s a coolness to it that makes it feel more meditative than inviting. It’s not a scent that draws people in—it creates space, solitude, and a quiet sense of reflection. Projection is moderate to intimate, staying fairly close to the skin after the first hour, which suits its introspective nature. Longevity is decent—it lingers gently for several hours without overwhelming. This isn’t a scent for everyday social wear, but it’s perfect for moments when you want to be alone, to focus, or to disconnect. La Liturgie des Heures is incense for the soul—dark, quiet, distant, cold and contemplative.
