Le Galion Snob is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Thomas Fontaine. Snob opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Saffron, and Apple, settles into a heart of Marigold, Orange Blossom, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Sandalwood.

This modern re-release of Snob is causing a stir, dividing opinion between those who find it a crisp, elegant floral and those who lament the loss of its vintage depth. Expect bright sophistication, but don't go in expecting your gran's classic.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its clean floral profile, make it highly suitable for the office and casual wear. While elegant enough for some formal settings, it might lack the 'wow' factor for grand events and isn't designed for sport.

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

  • 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
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Snob opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and mandarin, quickly spiced up with a touch of saffron and a crisp apple note. The heart blossoms into a rich floral bouquet, where elegant rose and soft iris mingle with luminous orange blossom and jasmine. The dry down settles into a clean, sophisticated base of musky woods, with creamy sandalwood and sturdy cedar providing a refined finish.
