James Heeley Note de Yuzu is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by James Heeley. Note de Yuzu opens with Grapefruit, Mandarin, and Yuzu, settles into a heart of Salt and Seaweed, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vetiver. James Heeley's Note de Yuzu carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a proper citrus explosion, specifically a big ol' yuzu. It's either an invigorating, natural burst of sunshine or, for the unlucky few, a bit of a cleaning product calamity. You'll either adore its zesty, marine freshness or find it a touch too sharp for your tastes, especially if marine notes usually turn 'fishy' on you.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its fresh, energetic citrus and marine profile makes it perfect for casual wear and sports, while its clean feel provides some versatility. However, the strong, sometimes 'screechy' opening and unique scent profile might be too much for formal settings or intimate dates.

About

Opens with an incredibly bright, tart trio of yuzu, grapefruit, and mandarin, like peeling fresh citrus right under your nose. This vibrant, zesty burst settles into a distinct marine heart, where salty sea air and a subtle seaweed note add an aquatic depth. The base rounds out with clean musk and earthy vetiver, anchoring the lively top notes and leaving a lingering fresh, almost mineralic scent with just a touch of green.
