Le Galion : Roullier White's Latest Approved Addition


Le Galion
This month the majestic Le Galion sailed into Roullier White; bringing with it a cargo of some of the most delightful fragrances we have ever sampled.

We are justifiably delighted and extremely excited to include Le Galion in Roullier White's prestigious portfolio of rare fragrances.

The concept and execution of this luxurious heritage brand that dates back to the 1930's is truly exquisite; from the genius construction of the sublime scents through to its faultless presentation. Check out some of the  original old ads from the Paris archives; below.
222
The original 222 dates back to the 1930's, a delicate leather accord that is enhanced and enriched through the careful selection of notes around it, from the lilt of violet to a creamy and sumptuous dry down of sandalwood, vanilla and coumarin in the base.

Snob
Snob is an exquisite and refined blend that is a picture of sartorial elegance. Curious and intriguing top notes of crisp apple, richly spiced saffron, and juicy mandarin prove a perfectly balanced counterpart to the heady, opulent floral bouquet that lies at the heart of the scent.

Tubereuse
Reformulated from Le Galion's 1937, Tubéreuse is a rich and lively fragrance that makes use of crisp fruit accords set against the mousseux character of its opening notes. Juicy mandarin and crisp pear open the scent in style, warmed with a shot of pink peppercorns and bracing, green-scented galbanum. The central tuberose note in the heart is met with vibrant orange blossom and sweet, fresh raspberry for an uplifting accord that is tempered with a subtle hint of rose.

Aesthete
At the helm of the modern day Le Galion is the visionary Nicholas Chabot. It is appropriate that the collection includes a similarly visionary scent. Aesthete opens with mandarin, davana & saffron; with leather, guaiac wood, castoreum, oud, jasmine & incense.

Sortilege
Sortilège is an intoxicating combination of floral aldehydes that sparkle with all the glamour of the Art Deco era. The scent builds from an effervescent floral bouquet in the top notes to a crescendo of precious floral accords in the heart, with a powerful dry down that speaks of the passion of the Jazz Age.
