Heeley - Oranges and Lemons, say the Bells of St. Clement's

The name of this fragrance comes from a rhyme in George Orwell's novel ‘1984’. The rhyme illustrates the protagonist's past, who remembers the rhyme but no longer knows the end. Various characters gradually add new parts of the rhyme until the last part forms the end of the second part of the novel. Symbolically, the use of this rhyme represents the almost complete erasure of the past, as only a few people still know it and with their death, the rhyme, or rather the past, is lost forever.

Oranges and lemons, Say the bells of St. Clement's

You owe me five farthings, Say the bells of St. Martin's

When will you pay me? Say the bells of Old Bailey.

When I grow rich, Say the bells of Shoreditch.

When will that be? Say the bells of Stepney

I do not know, Says the great bell of Bow

Here comes a candle to light you to bed And here comes a chopper to chop off your head!

Mehr über Heeley

James Heeley was born in Yorkshire, England, but now lives and works in Paris. Where else would he be, given that he creates fragrances in addition to product, packaging and graphic designs, interior concepts and objects? And this despite the fact that he actually studied philosophy and aesthetics at King's College, University of London. At second glance, however, philosophy and aesthetics, as well as design and perfumes, have more in common than one might think – James Heeley is not the only philosopher in the fragrance industry, considering that Lorenzo Villoresi also studied philosophy, as did the ubiquitous Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons, who also works with fragrances and design.


The range of James Heeley's work is vast, and he always pays close attention to detail: simplicity and elegance are the result of his work, in which he combines form and function(ality) with particular attention to the materials used. This also applies to his fragrances, of course. Created in the heart of France, they all characterise James Heeley's special understanding of luxury: a connection to life and intelligence, expressed in clear forms – and fragrances. A purist collection awaits you here, loved by women and men alike for its expressiveness.
