Moving Times

Moving Times by Galleria Parfums is a refined, aromatic-green fragrance with a fresh, minty opening that transitions into a delicate, powdery-woody base. The initial burst of bergamot, Italian lemon, and mint gives it a bright, crisp quality, while the midnotes of geranium, iris, and lavender lend a subtle floral-greenness that feels both clean and quietly elegant. As it settles, the scent gains depth through Madagascar vanilla, tonka bean, and Spanish labdanum, creating a smooth, gourmand-tinged warmth that is not overly sweet. The Indonesian patchouli contributes a soft, earthy undertone that enhances the mossy-green quality without dominating it. Known for its dynamic evolution and morphic character, the scent shifts subtly over time—performing well with moderate longevity and a moderate sillage that lingers close to the skin in a refined way. It is particularly well-suited for spring and autumn, though some find it less impactful in summer or winter unless worn generously. A highlight is its exceptional balance: it avoids being cloying, dusty, or overly sweet, making it highly wearable and discreet in its elegance. Many compare it favorably to a refined version of Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme or Mancera Cedrat Boise, especially in the drydown.
