Le Galion Sang Bleu is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Nejla Barbir. Le Galion's Sang Bleu carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This is a divisive one. Fans say it's a refined, more wearable take on 80s powerhouses like Kouros, boasting fantastic performance. Critics find it dated, some even detecting an unpleasant 'cat litter' note. Test before you commit, but don't let the haters scare you off.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

With its moderate sillage and long-lasting nature, this fragrance is present but not overwhelming, making it versatile for various settings. Its clean and sophisticated profile leans well towards casual and date wear, though it might be a bit too 'bold' for some office environments.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

  • Limonene from Orange
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Sang Bleu opens with a bright, bracing burst of citrus from bergamot, lemon, and orange, quickly joined by an aromatic medley of rosemary and eucalyptus, giving it a clean, almost medicinal edge. As it settles, a classic floral heart emerges with rose, jasmine, and geranium, softened by violet, before moving into a sophisticated, earthy base. Here, cedar, sandalwood, vetiver, and patchouli provide a robust foundation, while a subtle animalic undertone adds depth, creating a complex and ever-evolving scent journey.
