Poseur (germophobe)

From Merriam-Webster:

POSEUR:
Function: noun
Etymology: French, literally, poser, from poser
Date: 1869
: a person who pretends to be what he or she is not : an affected or insincere person

A germophobe who wears leather belts but disinfects every available surface in their home OCD-style is a poseur.
