Parfums de Marly - Galloway

Parfums de Marly - the perfume house that continually bows to the world of horses with its fragrant creations, honors a very special representative of this amiable species with "Galloway".

In fact, the Galloway horse, which due to its height is more to be counted among ponies, has been known for many centuries, and it can be assumed that it was precisely these horses and their skilled riders that Julius Caesar already praised in his writings. Much later, even the greatest dramatist 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 excellent appearance, a broad chest, and a powerful and robust stature.

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 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 erects an eternal monument to them. The top notes full of hesperides set citrusy and fresh accents, artfully enhanced with a touch of pepper. In the heart, a graceful iris is added, accompanied by orange blossoms, which florally revisit the citrus theme begun earlier. With the base notes of ambergris and musk, a sensual component is added, which rounds off this fragrance creation and transforms it into an equally powerful yet elegant statement.

Parfums de Marly
Parfums de Marly combine the passions of Louis XV - perfumes and horses - in their fragrance line. The fragrances, conceived as an olfactory homage to the magnificent perfume creations of that era, are named after noble horse breeds and are presented in elaborately decorated bottles adorned with spirited horses.
