The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2014, Galloway by Parfums de Marly is a Citrus Aromatic fragrance for women and men. Perfumer Hamid Merati-Kashani created this composition with a vibrant citrus opening that transitions into a powdery floral heart of orange blossom and iris. The base notes of musk and amber add an animalic warmth, creating a scent that feels both fresh and sensual.

Galloway stands out for its balanced blend of contrasting elements — the sharpness of pepper and citruses is softened by the creamy texture of powdery florals and musky undertones. This fragrance captures the essence of a modern elegance, blending crisp freshness with subtle depth.

How to wear it

One or two sprays are sufficient — the citrus opening is bright but fades into a warm base that blooms over time. It pairs well with daytime wear but can also carry you through an evening event without overpowering.
