Parfums de Marly – the perfume house that continually bows to the world of horses with fragrant creations, pays homage to a very special representative of this lovable genre with “Galloway”.
In fact, the Galloway horse, which is more like a pony because of its height, was known for many centuries and one can assume that it was precisely these horses and their accomplished 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 cross-breeding, is said to have had an excellent 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 the Scottish south, a mysterious gray horse, possibly one of the last of its kind? This stallion was the inspiration for Parfums de Marly's fragrance creation “Galloway”, which carries the reputation of these horses out into the world and creates an eternal monument to them. The top notes full of hesperides set citrusy and fresh accents, artfully enhanced with a little pepper. In the heart there is a graceful iris, accompanied by orange blossoms, which florally take up the previously started citrus theme. The base notes of amber and musk add a sensual component that rounds off this fragrance creation and transforms it into a powerful but also elegant statement.
