Hit for most people, miss for me.
I was expecting this scent to be heavy on the sweetness but yeah, it's pretty sweet. I feel as though they may have taken the vanilla note in the original Le Male a little too seriously because that is the majority of what I smell moreso than even the warm spicy notes which feels like it gets emulsified into the sweet vanilla. I'm tempted to give this a star lower rating because in all honesty it smells like a basic gourmand fragrance, however the lavender and woodsy note works quite well and I wish they increased them a bit more but I guess it then would've smelled like a basic warm men's fragrance at that point. I like vintage Le Male a little more than this and I would wear Noir Extreme any day over this.
