Born in Yorkshire, England, James Heeley studied Philosophy and Aesthetics at King’s College – London University. He was fascinated with nature and floral design, so it was only natural that he would be just as fascinated by the world of perfumery.

“Excellence lies in details” – James Heeley

This is James’ motto, and has been the foundation in creating one of the most unique and independent luxury perfume houses in Europe – HEELEY Parfums. From conception, to even the tiniest details of creating the fragrance itself, to the bottling and thoughtful packaging, James Heeley is one of the very few owner, founder and perfumers in the business of modern classic perfumery. HEELEY Parfums consists of contemporary scents that make up a modern collection of fragrances made in the true art of traditional French perfumery. In order to get a true feeling for the brand, we sent James the Etiket Questionnaire.
