Tabac shaving soap - Old vs New version ?

So I hear it's been reformulated in the new glass pot design.

What are the main differences in scent and performance ?

Which one do you all prefer, and why ?

I just ordered the new version, and already own the old version-  but still curious if there are real differences or not ?

I was under the impression that the formula remained unchanged, but the logo was redesigned.
I have a jar each (old/new) and they smell identical to my nose.

Yep, no change to the product. Just a facelift on the logo.

I just ordered the new one too without knowing there was a new version. Didn't really need to but couldn't resist the price, soap and bowl for nine bucks! I love the old ones and I hope the new is just as good,

Although it hasn't drastically changed, repackaged Tabac soap is slightly different: contains a bit more water and less filler (titanium dioxide), and the scent is slightly brighter.
Repackaged ASL and EdC have also changed.

It's the same product, although I read things about slight differences in the scent. If I had to choose between the two bowls, my choice would be the older one. Also, the old logo seems more traditional in my opinion. 

To be honest, I don't like the scent at all but neither I hate it. I am not a fan.

I like the new logo more, actually.

Will give them both a thorough test here in February and March, and see if I find any difference between them.

I still have yet to use my old one in the glass jar - have only used two Tabac soap sticks, but I hear the stick is the same as the soap in the bowl, and I whole hearted loveed the Tabac soap stick, my only problem with it was that it became a bit rough to smear on the face, the longer down I came in the stick - so I really had to wet my face, when I applied compared to the soap stick from DR Harris and TOBS, which were quite a bit less difficult to apply on my face.

But even though the Tabac scent reminds me of my dad and I'm not a huge fan of the scent, I managed to use it myself as a teenager, because it was readily available in the super markets.
But even though I'm not a huge fan of the scent, I still can appreciate for what it is: A TRUE CLASSIC, and with a well blended scent.

A scent can be well blended, but still not be my favourite. Tbac is such a scent. I would probably never buy it again in After Shave, Cologne or Deodorant, but used as a shaving soap, I actually can appreciate the scent quite a bit for sentimental reasons.
And the lather is stellar, solid and full of volume and cushion and quite slick as well.

I, myself, really like the scent of the old version and performance-wise it comes in well above it's price point.
If I could ever get myself to pare down the twenty five or so soaps I own it would be one of the ones I'd keep.

The ingredients didn't change with the new design but were reordered suggesting that the proportions changed slightly.
I'm working on a puck with the old design and will pick up a refill of the new version when it runs out.

I just restocked a few weeks back, thinking I'd be getting the new version. Turns out I pulled a NOS off the shelf at Pasteur's, so it'll be a while before I try the reform.
