Freaking loved it. I hate to use the phrase "game changing", but...
And I'm assuming it's the new version that I have. It was purchased maybe a week ago(?) from Amazon. If you can tell me how I can tell if it's the old or new version, I'll look at my toob and let you know.
Edit: Here's what my toob looks like:

Oh gawd. Please don't tell me the "New, Improved!" (aka "Super Formula") totally sucks...The new stuff is in a dark blue tube and says “Super Formula” on the box as a sticker to the left of Proraso.
I was wondering what is the cream that you love the most.
Not the most expensive but the one that you love so much from the scent to the shave experience (slickness, cushion etc.). It has to make the experience of lathering extremely luxurious.
Cyril Salter Wild Rose - terrific, realistic scent with excellent performance at a very reasonable price.
The scent. This wonderful scent. They really nailed it.
This is the scent in the tub.
This is the scent as I was lathering.
The more its lathered the more it opens up, but its more than that. Lathering for my third pass it hit me. Its more than just a simple rose. Its a rose garden.
I had to concentrate a bit and think about it, but I could detect that rich deep moisture, the green of the leaves and even the fresh clean dirt. Its incredible. The only downside is, and this may only be a downside for me, it doesnt linger much at all.
New white Proraso has no menthol.I hate the menthol in the White, way too much.
Oh gawd. Please don't tell me the "New, Improved!" (aka "Super Formula") totally sucks...
Okay, good... You just prevented a serious case of the Vapors.I have been meaning to try the new Super Formula of the Blue but have not yet. When I was using the Green, the Super Formula was a huge improvement over the previous formulation for me. It was way slicker, and less drying overall.
St James of London Sandalwood and Bergamot. By far my favorite. Even the glass container screams luxury.
My most luxurious shaving cream is DR Harris which is way better than TOBS.
Have any gents ever tried Meißner Tremonia shaving cream?
It attracts me a lot.
Hands down the nicest, best performing creams I've used and I've used a few, is CRS. I actually ordered another tub yesterday. French Vetiver.

I've been using their Wild Rose over two years and still have slightly less than 1/2 a tub. My Indian Sandalwood I've had for over a year now I think and is still well above 3/4 full. The tubs are large at 165g or 5.8oz's and the price is a lot more than right.
The CRS Wild Rose scent is spectacular.
CRS scents I find are very accurate and realistic. The Indian Sandalwood is just as nice and accurate. I believe its a true Sandalwood with no other distracting scent notes. That scent does linger, very well.
This is now on my list! I love rose scent. I'll need to order this in as it doesn't seem available in Australia.
Most luxurious for me are the two regular sized C&S soaps in the anodized aluminum dishes. Everything from the lather to scent and presentation is pure luxury. The lids are so perfectly fitted to the jars that they feel like “soft close” as the air escapes from the jar upon closure. Hope they will find a suitable supplier for the exceptional Valobra made soaps. Though I’ve read the Martelli company intends to modernize and resume production.
