I had the old version and was the best aftershave balm I have ever used. And at that price, tremendous value.
Had that bracing, cooling effect just seconds after applying...lingered for a pretty long time as well.

Got the new version (see link above) and it is so insipid. No mentholated cooling effect at all. Smells
like an unscented balm too. WTH!
The old one was a 8 on the menthol scale and this new version barely scrapes a 1.

They have ruined a great product. Any alternatives to suggest?

Did they happen to send you by mistake any of the other 3 balms? The packaging seems very similar. Like this one for instance Proraso Green Tea and Oatmeal Aftershave Balm, 100ml - https://maggardrazors.com/products/proraso-green-tea-and-oatmeal-aftershave-balm-100ml?_pos=12&_sid=1aab28389&_ss=r

Does your bottle say RINFRESCANTE in green letters?

Yes it does.
Very disappointing.

Surely I can't be the only one who got this from the new version.
Any diehard fans out there to corroborate or dispute?

Update: I tried increasing the amount I normally use to a more generous dollop
and now Im getting some cooling.

Thank you for providing a safe space for aftershave trauma victims to be heard.
