James Heeley Note de Yuzu

A Bright, Salty Citrus Fragrance Inspired by the Japanese Yuzu Bath

A refreshing unisex fragrance where vibrant Japanese yuzu meets sea salt, clean musk and airy vetiver.

James Heeley Note de Yuzu is a wonderfully fresh and distinctive interpretation of citrus. Instead of simply smelling like a traditional lemon or orange cologne, it puts Japanese yuzu at the center, creating a bright, tart and energetic opening with a refined bitterness that makes the fragrance feel natural and sophisticated.

As it develops, the vivid citrus freshness meets sea salt and a subtle aquatic character. This creates the impression of freshly washed skin, warm air and a cool breeze coming from the sea. The result is clean and refreshing without becoming overly sweet or traditionally “blue” in character.

The dry-down becomes softer and more understated, with white musk and Haitian vetiver adding a clean, slightly green and woody finish. It is a minimalist fragrance with plenty of personality, particularly appealing to anyone who prefers crisp, natural-feeling citrus scents over heavy or sweet compositions.
