La Liturgie des Heures

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.

"If our autobiographical memory system serves to create a coherent narrative of our own past, it is a system that can frequently fool us into believing stories that are not true, as evidenced by the fact than many of us 'remember' events that we no longer believe actually happened. "
