The Story

Launched in 2011, James Heeley's Bubblegum Chic is a Floral Fruity fragrance that blends the unexpected with the classic. The composition opens with a playful burst of fruity and sweet notes, reminiscent of its whimsical name. This lighthearted beginning gives way to a heart of white florals and tuberose, which adds depth and sophistication. The musky and animalic base notes complete this complex fragrance, creating an intriguing contrast between the sugary top and the more mature undertones.

Application Tips

For the best experience, apply Bubblegum Chic in moderation — its fruity top notes are fleeting but impactful. The white florals and musk base emerge after about an hour, making it ideal for daytime events that transition into evening.
