Jovoy La Liturgie des Heures is a unisex scent that opens cypress-green and cool, then settles into a resinous heart of myrrh, incense and frankincense.

What does La Liturgie des Heures smell like?

Fresh and green notes with cypress come first, followed by myrrh, incense, frankincense and cistus, which add a resinous, smoky weight. Patchouli and musk sit underneath, so the woody, earthy side takes over and the scent dries down dry and serious.

Most voters recommend autumn and winter, and it is picked mostly for leisure and evenings. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. It reads more masculine to most voters, though a fair share see it as feminine.
