Roger & Gallet l'homme- same as 80s, or reformulated?

[Owen Bawn]

I used l'homme fairly regularly 30 years ago, and recently have thought about getting another bottle of either aftershave or more likely EDT. I assume there's probably been at least one reformulation since the early 90s but I have no idea. Are there any long term users of R&G l'homme who might weigh in? I see vintage or old stock available here & there, but I don't want to risk paying big money for what might turn out to be vinegar. Any help would be appreciated.

Roger & Gallet was purchased by French cosmetics company L'Oreal in 2008.
The current packaging is completely different from the pre-L'Oreal one.
It certainly has been reformulated.
As for vintage stuff, maybe I'd look at a few perfumeries that might have some still in the box bottles, away from light and heat.

Good luck with the hunt!

Thank you @fblais . Have you used both formulations? I'm wondering how far off the new one is from the original.

No, I had a bottle of the older stuff, but not anymore, sorry.
