Over time, his beautiful, natural and lightly crafted fragrances evolved into more complex creations such as Cardinal, Esprit du Tigre and Cuir Pleine Fleur and a collection of fancy extraits. His self-taught, ever-evolving collection includes unique fragrances, each inspired by traditional French perfumery.
Every detail from the creation of the fragrance, to the eco-friendly packaging is designed in house. Today, Heeley is one of the few owner-managed and independent perfume houses in Europe. This independence allows him the creative freedom to create individual and unique fragrances. James Heeley was born in Yorkshire, England, and studied philosophy and aesthetics at King's College, London. He lives and works in Paris.
