Reformulation is still pretty good
I bought reformulated bottle of Le Male in 2019 and I have to say that it is still pretty good fragrance.
Due to its reletively low cost, synthetic vanilla has been used in this fragrance, which makes the initial opening quite bitter. After half an hour the main notes of this fragrance (mint, lavendel and vanilla) starts to blend - bitterness will disappear and it will be pretty good lavendel-dominant sweet fragrance.
I have no idea why Jean Paul Gaultier advertises it as a "sexy sailor". It rather reminds me more of a sexy barbershop-fougere-like scent that is suitable to wear both in your leisure time and in black tie.
I usually go with six sprays and I will get 8 hours longevity with quite good sillage. It is totally fine to wear in any season.
In conclusion, it is pretty good sweet fragrance with touch of barbershop character.
