Mr. Heeley has only previously worked with Eau de Parfum strength compositions and those have a clear strong sense of architecture in their form. With the extraits I was curious if there would be a softening of that spine and a bit more malleability within these new releases.
“End of the Spring and here she comes back..those summer days”. Since every change of season deserves a top ten list these are the fragrances we “cloud 9” on. Draws from Guerlain, Penhaligons, Opus Oils,Bond No. 9, L’Artisan Parfumeur, Xerjoff and Atelier Cologne.
It was just last week that I woke up thinking, oh no, I missed the Odin pop-up shop. I hate thinking that I’ve missed something that’s about to vanish forever. .

If anything Agarwoud, L’Amandiere, and Bubblegum Chic do show Mr. Heeley can work in a different style.
