James Heeley Pomelo Crush is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by James Heeley. Pomelo Crush opens with Pomelo, settles into a heart of Rhubarb, Jasmine, and Tarragon, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Vetiver. James Heeley's Pomelo Crush carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a proper Freshy-McFresh. Expect a bright citrus kick that quickly settles into a floral-soapy clean, though public opinion is divided on whether it's 'cosy clean' or just 'hand soap'. Great if you like a bit of controversy with your cleanliness.

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 spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage, combined with a very clean, almost soapy character, make it a good fit for casual wear and even sport. The 'hand soap' vibe might not be ideal for formal settings or intimate dates, but it's airy enough for an office given its fresh nature.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Pomelo Crush opens with a sharp, zesty burst of pomelo, tart and juicy, like cracking open a fresh grapefruit. This vibrant citrus quickly melds into a green, slightly sweet heart where crisp rhubarb and aromatic tarragon meet a subtle jasmine. The dry down is a clean, musky affair, airy and almost powdery, grounded by earthy vetiver and a whisper of amber, creating an impression of freshly laundered linen.
