Lalique White

Notes & Nuances

This clone attempts to mimic Parfums de Marly's Galloway, aiming for that clean, citrusy-musk vibe. The opening delivers a decent blast of citrus and pepper, though a bit harsher and more synthetic than Galloway's refined sparkle. The heart pushes forward the orange blossom and iris, but the clone lacks the natural depth, smelling somewhat flat compared to the real deal. The drydown is where it's most similar: a clean musk with a touch of amber. However, the musk is a bit more detergent-like, lacking the smooth sophistication of Galloway. I'd say it captures roughly 87% of Galloway's essence.

Performance Reality Check

Don't expect miracles here. This is a budget clone, and the performance reflects that. You'll get maybe 4-5 hours of moderate projection before it fades to a skin scent. It projects strongest for the first hour and quickly settles down. So, carry an atomizer for reapplication.

To Buy or Not to Buy?

If you crave Galloway but balk at the price, this is a serviceable option . It's a clean, fresh scent that won't offend. However, be aware of the synthetic edges and limited longevity. If you can afford the original, do it. But if you're on a strict budget and want something similar for everyday wear, this clone will scratch that itch. Just keep expectations in check.
