AdP difference in packaging ?

Hi guys,

Does anybody here know the difference between the following AdP collezione barbiere shaving creams, besides the label?

Are your trying to tell the difference between the old version with scent versus the new reformulation (unscented)?
 
I do not own a tub of AdP (old or new) so this is based on dates and previous posts. The reformulation occurred late-2013.

The bottom tub contains the word "Colonia" on the label which hints at the old, scented formulation - See the below posts for some additional guidance:

The top tub is missing "Colonia" and appears to be the new, unscented formulation - Sephora has a matching photo with a description highlighting the "unscented" quality of the cream

As for which one is better/worse, there are not very many reviews for the new cream……and this is very telling. There were many who were willing to spend a lot of $$$ for the cream because the scent was glorious and performance was top-notch. Half the rationale is now gone when AdP went unscented.

Honestly, I would direct to your RazoRock XXX-t. It was inspired by the AdP cream in both performance and scent. It’s currently out of stock at Italian Barber but it is supposed to return sometime in October.

Thanks a lot, Atalk.

I am a big fan of Razorock XXX (I have the most recent batch). Love the scent and performance.

I've realized that Brazilian Sephora has both the old and new versions of AdP in stock. The old version is priced below the new version. In addition, I can pay it in 10 interest-free installments, so it may be a good deal.
 
I never understood AdP's logic. I'm not a marketing director but I think this easily has to be one of the dumbest moves ever by a fragrance house.

Not anymore. It's out of stock of the old formula.
