La Liturgie des Heures
Jovoy

La Liturgie des Heures

A thunderous, incense heavy, myrrh rich, sleeping animal of a perfume. Still and peaceful in the way monumental architecture is still. La Liturgie des Heures invokes shadowed spaces, cool and silent. At its best in lower temperatures and moments of silence. This is perfume as a meditation on time: enduring and mysterious.

Jovoy
"If art was thought to be superceded by abstract thought so was the body being bound and gagged by the supposition that the organs of aesthetic pleasure were limited to sight and hearing."
- Bloomer and Moore, 1977, Body. Memory and Architecture
