James Heeley Oranges and Lemons Say The Bells of St. Clements is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010. Oranges and Lemons Say The Bells of St. Clements opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Petitgrain, Neroli, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Ylang-Ylang. James Heeley's Oranges and Lemons Say The Bells of St. Clements carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A bright, zesty, and utterly charming classic citrus cologne that delivers pure sunshine in a bottle. Performance is its Achilles' heel, making it a fleeting joy rather than a long-lasting companion, but many feel the quality is worth the re-sprays.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, clean profile makes it highly suitable for casual daytime wear and warm weather activities. While generally office-friendly due to its moderate sillage, its poor longevity means frequent reapplication, which might be inconvenient for some, and it lacks the gravitas for formal events.

About

Opens with a vibrant, sparkling explosion of bergamot, lemon, and orange, like freshly squeezed juice with a hint of bitter rind. This invigorating burst gently transitions into a refined heart where green petitgrain and delicate neroli mingle with a subtle, clean tea note. The dry down is a whisper of earthy vetiver, softened by a faint, creamy touch of ylang-ylang, maintaining its crisp freshness right to the end.
