The True Art Of Perfumery

Jovoy Paris emanates the true art of perfumery. The extraordinary forgotten fragrances of the renowned perfume house first created by Parisian perfumer, Blanche Arvoy, in 1923 have been revived in six new visionary fragrances. Individual and opulent these authentic rare gems are made to be appreciated by true perfumistas.

François Hénin, owner of Jovoy Paris says, "I took the decision not to rework the exact original perfumes, but instead chose to do exactly what Blanche would have done - make perfumes for my contemporaries. They are made for raw materials lovers who are looking for fragrances with a lasting trail. They all show a side of the world I live in exactly as Blanche did in her time."

Bestowing magnificent compositions using raw materials of the finest quality with longevity, Jovoy's new artfully-crafted perfumes are contemporary, refined and unique. Transporting the wearer onto their own olfactory journey and delivering a multitude of sensory delights - these distinctive temptations return character and mystique, making them a must for lovers of fine perfumery.

La Liturgie des Heures

The true story of a day spent with monks at an old Cistercian abbey in the heart of France. Liturgy of the hours is dedicated to raw material lovers. It is more the resins, than the fumigation, the atmosphere of an old cathedral, a touch of humidity with Tree Moss notes - its elegant notes providing tremendous longevity.
