On a recent trip to Pasteur's I picked up a tube of German Nivea, the new formulation. I have to say that this cream was easily the best lathering cream in my small but growing collection of creams. Except for one problem ... To me the smell reminded me of men's deodorant, and I wasn't really a fan of that. So, I ask the cream experts, is there a cream that lathers this well but has a different scent? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks gents!
A cream that lathers like Nivea

Have you tried Institut Karite or I Coloniali Rhubarb or Palmolive Classic shaving creams?

Guys - I bought the Palmolive Classic. From what I can see there are two versions - a green tube and a red tube. I bought the red tube. Is there a difference between the two?
I believe the Palmolive cream in the red tube is exactly the same as the one in the green tube. It's marketed for Italian consumers.
I found that the lather from Proraso was similar to the German Nivea. I know Proraso is making several different types now. I am working through a sample of the Proraso red, which is nice.
I believe that green and red Palmolive are the same if it says "Classic" on the tube.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
You can try the sensitive version of Nivea that smells like chamomile and more natural.... still lathers like a champ and very slick and moisturizing. Only place I found it is a fixed price option on Ebay.
