This review is of the new formulation in the tub. I have soft water and used about an almond size blob in my scuttle. I shook my brush out and it was pretty dry, I was expecting to have to add a lot of water but from the 5th or so swirl around my scuttle, the lather EXPLODED! This has to be the easiest cream to lather in the world! The scent is green/woodsy and I really like it, the scent outlasted my AS (TSD iced cedar wood) and SWMBO kept sniffing me saying that stuff's a keeper. Good thing there's a L'Occitane store in a mall 15 mins away!
