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.

Sexy gardener
Imagine a pool boy in good shape in his late twenties. Now transpose it into a gardener who has just finished his workday - his muscular body is sweaty and dusty, but nonetheless sharp and full of energy. Always after work, he makes a Tom Collins cocktail with a handful of basil and thyme.
This scent is a modern classic. The scent opens with a pleasant strong grapefruit and basil composition which gives it cocktail-ish character. After about half an hour, the clary sage gives it an icy character. Patchouli adds masculinity and ambroxane more sillage and freshness.
Absolutely great scent from smart-casual up to white tie for men older than 25 years old.

Organic rose with spicy touch
This fragrance opens very vigorously with strong scents of bergamot and rose. Approximately after half an hour the scent of bergamot fades and rose will be dominant - and its smells like an organic rose. It is exceptionally pleasant, just like being in the middle of rose bushes. After about 3 hours the scent will be more woody and spicy - the scent of sandalwood becomes prominent, but this pleasant organic rose will stay in the backround. This fragrance turns a woody-floral combination which is sweet, spicy and sensual.
This fragrance is like a profile of man's life. The opening of this fragrance is pretty loud, giving the signal of youthfullness, presence and dominance. Over time, the perfume turn more mature and sensual and finally it gives the best advice - come closer, pay attention and take your time to notice good quality.

Creamy sweet sour lemon liqueur
I bought it at a discounted price from Douglas as a blind buy for 30€/125ml and I do not regret it.
The name of this fragrance describes the juice very well. The immediate opning is sharply alcoholic, so let it wait about 1 minute. Then the notes of lemon will appear and it turns creamy sweet sour lemon liqueur. After 45min - 1h it turn a bit more darker and the notes of lemon peel will be present, but juice retains its sour lemon character.
It reminds me a bit creamy version of L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme, but with poorer quality.
Limoncello Season projects about an hour and will be quite pleasant skin scent for 3-4 hours.
According to this, I recommend using Iso E Super as a primer.
In conclusion, Limoncello Season is pretty good hot heat fragrance if you like the smell of citrus. It is not long lasting and it is synthetic, but for 30€ - 40€/125ml it is quite decent.
