I have been meaning to try this one, but I heard of reformulations which dissuaded me at first.
If you haven’t yet, you’ve got to try Zegna’s Javanese Patchouli. To my nose, it really is sublime and very underrated.
Thank you for piece of advice

I have both versions of Givenchy Gentleman (as well as all mentioned above) and there are not such a differences. Well, vintage is better blended, not harsh like current formula. Is smoother. I know people often criticize new versions and often they are right, but not absolutely. Imagine, you are using for years some scent. It ended and now is here new version. Just fact, that is current partly different one (nor better/ not worse) is some type of discomfort. You didn´t get what you expect. But it doesn´t mean, it is worse. Depends on, what are you using first.
I am giving my co-workers blind tests and I am sometimes very surprised. I am interested in wines too and one person told me he is really connoisseur. I bought red wine in tetrapack box for USD 2,- and moved it to the French wine bottle with right vignette. This man was very satisfied and recognized nothing
