Packed with wood and myrrh, but what dominates is an ecclesiastical incense from the very first second. It’s super realistic, though I don’t see it working on my skin or anyone else’s. It’s not sweet, resinous, or warm; it’s a dry woody opening that later becomes more humid. Clearly more masculine. The longevity on my skin is top-tier, but it’s just not for me.

If you already own Avignon or Full Incense, this smells very similar—it feels redundant.

Comparing perfumes is tough because each one is unique, unless one is terrible and the other amazing. I don’t see why anyone would say Desert Heart is better or worse than Marley’s Layton. For me, The Liturgy of the Heroes is the best I own. It starts with a fresh, clean, green opening, and after the first dry-down, you get an incense and myrrh blend impossible to confuse. I’m not an expert and sometimes can’t identify notes in other scents, but here the incense has soft, slightly powdery nuances, same with the myrrh. It projects a meter and lasts at least 10 hours on skin. I’ve tried all the famous Jovoy scents; I love Psychedelic, but it didn’t win me over. This is by far the best for me.

The incense fades quickly to make way for cypress, and there’s a lot of cypress. This isn’t an easy fragrance; try it before buying. It’s strictly for lovers of the cypress note, which is the star here. It smells like a damp cypress forest.

Olfactory Memories
One of the most peculiar things I’ve ever tried. It’s not for everyone and requires a trained nose, but it’s a complete olfactory experience. I’m talking about Jovoy’s La Liturgie des Heures. It smells exactly like the interior of an old chapel or cathedral: dark and warm, with incense smoke and candle haze, mixed with the aged wood of the pews and the red velvet of the altars. I adore fragrances that transport you, and this one does it perfectly.

It’s an incense fragrance with an ecclesiastical or liturgical vibe. It pairs well with CDG Avignon, Odin Tanoke, or Heeley Cardinal, leaning heavily toward the first one. The opening is floral-fruity and sweet—very pleasant, though it doesn’t last long. Then, a strong cypress joins a generous yet light incense, creating a balsamic and smoky effect. This cypress transports you from the church to an outdoor cloister surrounded by forest, in a natural, mountainous area far from city noise, evoking peace and stillness for meditation. The balsamic drydown of the myrrh stays soft and skin-close, light and wearable. Longevity is good; it projects well for the first hour before settling down. Rating: 7.
