It's a world of pain if like me you have sensitive skin. I can't handle eucalyptus on my face. I have some hand lotion I love that has eucalyptus in small amounts but it doesn't work very well on my face, on thinner skin, it just feels too irritating.
The menthol in the white, sensitive skin soap is even pushing things a bit. It's not as gentle as Nivea's products for sensitive skin, but it's a huge improvement over the green line's old fashioned Italian barber formula. The green tea and oat as ingredients do help alot, and it isn't heavily fragranced. So overall I think it's good, but probably not acceptable for all people with sensitive skin.
I went ahead and bought the matching preshave and aftershave balm. The soap doesn't wow me like some shave creams or gels I have tried but perhaps with the preshave and balm, it will. It's definitely a good, reliable performer at the very least. I guess I see this as the best of a traditional, mass market shave product, so I'm willing to keep it in my rotation.
I’m sorry you can’t use Eucalyptus, that definitely rules out the Green. I hate the menthol in the White also but love it in the Green.
The White is top-tier in post-shave for my oil prone skin. I don’t enjoy shaving with the White though. There’s so much stuff out there though, if it isn’t fun to shave with, move on to something else. Plenty out there to choose from!
Proraso is a very solid, respectable brand and has been producing great products for decades. Their newest Super Formula creams and soaps are EXCEPTIONAL, especially when used in combo with the matching pre-shaves. 
In Fall and Winter, I really like Proraso Red. The shea butter helps the post-shave feel. The sandalwood scent is enjoyable in the cooler weather. At first, the scent was too strong with unpleasant chemical overtones, but leaving the container open for about a week got rid of that, leaving a mild Sandalwood scent.
When the red tub runs out, I'm looking forward to trying the Super Formula version.

I love all 4 Proraso creams, the red, the white, the green and the blue.
Best for the skin and best skin feel after the shave is definitely the white and the blue cream.

Super Formula is the 2019 reformulation of the lineup. AFAIK its not available outside of Italy yet (paging @buyandhold2018).

Thanks for the update.
So far I have only heard about a new packaging. Nothing about reformulations. I shall follow this closely.

Proraso white is great, I used a tube of it when I first started, and I still use the white balm to this day, I've accepted the fact that I will always have a proraso product in my rotation.
It's a 2019 novelty: all Regular line pre-shaves, soaps, creams and balms have been upgraded. Look for the Super Formula label, Sir.
I love Proraso White, I always get a great shave . I love the scent , it is my favorite of the three Proraso soaps . Outstanding sickness , razor glides effortlessly. Post shave feel is excellent.
I really like the performance of Cella. However, my skin has an allergy to benzaldehyde. Therefore, I can not use it.
I use Proraso White Preshave and the Proraso White Shaving cream with good results.
If you think you might have an allergy, I recommend you check the list of ingredients and avoid the chemicals that are offensive to your skin. This means you may have to try things and observe. In effect, build an approved chemical list over time.
Marco, thanks for the tip.Sir, try the new Cella Extra Extra Bio.
I used Proraso White Tub for today’s shave. I had a very good shave again with this wonderful shaving soap.
