A Clean Bomb
When i was interested to try this fragrance and asked to friends that had it, they compared it to a more modern Lalique White, that was disappointing because Im not the greatest fan of that fragrance, as i think its smells ok but dated... I asked for a decant anyway and the surprise was quite good! The word that comes to my mind to describe the smell of it is CLEAN. I got the sense of getting my best clothes and dress them after a shower, but dont take me wrong, its not like a shower gel vibe (like Percival or Sedley), the best thing i can think to compare the smell is clean sheets in the bed before going to sleep, that amazing smell that gives you a feeling of Embrace when you lay down before sleeping... I get some reminiscent memories of new paper, just the moment you buy a note book and smell it after oppening it. So... This is probably the fragrance with cleanest smell that i've tryed, and after the decant i bought a bottle! It lasts on my skin 6 to 8 hours easily, wich is amazing for a fresh scent and is a perfect signature scent, as you Will always smell clean and fresh. Highly recommend it!

The Stable's Quiet & Reliable Workhorse
In a lineup known for its bold and often baroque compositions, Galloway by Parfums de Marly takes a different path, one of restraint and clarity. Released in 2014 and crafted by perfumer Hamid Merati-Kashani, Galloway leans into freshness and cleanliness, qualities that may explain its relatively low profile in fragrance circles. Yet for those who value subtlety paired with performance, it offers a quietly confident alternative.

The fragrance opens with a brisk, peppered citrus accord. Bergamot and pepper working well to deliver a sharp, invigorating start. It’s a clean, almost minimalist introduction that mirrors the stark white of the bottle. As the top settles, a soft floral heart of orange blossom and iris emerges, adding a slight powdery smoothness that never becomes sweet. The base which is anchored by musk, amber, and sandalwood grounds the composition with warmth and longevity.

Galloway’s structure is relatively linear. The citrus-musk character remains steady from start to finish, offering consistency rather than evolution. This stability makes it effective in professional settings.

Where Galloway truly distinguishes itself is in performance. Despite its fresh profile, it delivers solid longevity (often exceeding eight hours on my skin) and maintains a moderate yet persistent sillage. It projects just enough to be noticed, but never intrudes.

Underrated Parfums de Marly gem
If you are approaching to Parfums de Marly for the first time of course you are not going to consider galloway at all because the maison has some other fragrances placed in the popular ranking. In fact this is an underrated gem among of other PDM's creations.
It can give you a feeling of cleaning completely different from the usual fragrances you can think about when you think to "clean" scents.
The opening is enough fresh and crispy but going through its evolution the fragrance become more powerfull opening its clean heart powered by orange blossom and white musk rouded by the sandalwood. When this is all over then you perceive a slightly powdery note stuck nearby your skin.
It is a long lasting fragrance with a good sillage so, if you are going to use it at work, be frugal with the spry. It comes In a white classic PDM bottle. Unfortunately you cannot see through to check the juice left.

I love this stuff !
Parfums de marly is one of the best niche brands, their fragrances have a very good quality and and special character. This one is my favourite together with oajan. It is unique, not a masterpiece by any mean but the opposite it is a niche version of a mass appealing musky freshness. The pepper, the musk, the freshness and the spices are so well made and super powerful with an orange leaves background this stuff is super versitile and super sexy , good bye creed Silver Mountain Water!

A true signature
This perfume is one of the best ”fresh” performer money can buy. Galloway opens with fresh citrus side by side with some great spice. I like really like the quality of the musk ( the masculine touch)

You can use this fragrance for special ocasions, at work, whenever you want! A true signature scent & a true compliment magnet.

Ps.
This is a fragrance for men 100%
There is no way a woman can wear it
Cant get it how PDM classifies Galloway unisex

Have you ever used an electric saw to saw a 2x4 in an enclosed space? Amplify that smell by 3 and you've got Galloway. Super heady burning.

The bottle is white but this is a beautiful take on "blue" fragrances, unique high-quality summer-peppery-masculine scent, performance OK.
