(125 ml Eau de Parfum)
Parfums de Marly—the perfume house that time and again pays homage to the world of horses through its fragrant creations—honors a very special representative of this endearing breed with “Galloway.” In fact, the Galloway horse—which, due to its height at the withers, is more accurately classified as a pony—has been known for many centuries, and it’s safe to assume that it was precisely these horses and their skilled riders that Julius Caesar praised in his writings. Much later, even the greatest playwright of all time, William Shakespeare, referred to these animals in his play “Henry IV.” The breed, now extinct due to crossbreeding, is said to have had an exquisite appearance, a broad chest, and a strong and robust build. In the 18th century, a very special Galloway horse is said to have been discovered in the deep valleys of southern Scotland—a mysterious gray, possibly one of the last of its kind?This stallion was the inspiration for Parfums de Marly’s fragrance “Galloway,” which carries the reputation of these horses out into the world and erects an eternal monument to them. The top notes, rich in Hesperides, add citrusy and fresh accents, artfully enhanced with a touch of pepper. At the heart, a graceful iris is introduced, accompanied by orange blossom, which revisits the citrus theme introduced earlier with a floral twist. The base notes of amber and musk add a sensual element to this fragrance creation.
