The review
Stranger scores 6.8 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Galloway.
Scentual Obsessions sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Galloway's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $133 per 100ml it costs 87% less than Galloway — the 2nd cheapest of 2 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Scentual Obsessions publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Parfums de Marly Galloway is bergamot and watery notes at first, rose and jasmine at its heart and sandalwood, amber and musk at the end. Scentual Obsessions set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
