Galloway
Galloway by Parfums de Marly is an unisex eau de parfum from 2016 in the luxury price tier. It opens with lemon, black pepper and elemi, moves into cardamom and iris and dries down to musk, ambroxan and cypriol. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
- Elemi Peppery resin with a lemon-pine lift. Bright and dry.
Heart
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
Dry-down
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
- Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
