James Heeley: Designer influenced by nature, James Heeley was immediately fascinated by the world of perfumes. It was after a meeting with Annick Goutal in 1996 that he has discovered how the scents are "designed".
His first perfume "Figuier" is surprising for the precision in evoking the natural fragrance of fig trees in the Mediterranean. With time and experience the beautiful, simple and fresh creations have evolved into more complex compositions as "Cardinal", "Espirit du Tigrr", "Cuir Pleine Fleur." The continuous evolution of the collection now includes ten modern perfumes created respecting the tradition and art of French perfumery.
Every detail, from the creation of the scent until the selection of raw materials, to recyclable packaging and cork with cut wood, is designed 'in house'. Heeley is today one of the few houses of luxury perfumes in Europe run by the founder-owner. This independence allows maximum freedom of expression in creating quality perfumes and simply unique. Born in England in Yorkshire, James Heeley has studied philosophy and aesthetics at King's College, London University. He lives and works in Paris.
