    Not sure about the Spanish, its currently being held hostage by the Post Office.

    But the Italian has some rather nice differences (besides the looks):

    [​IMG]


    1) Smoother scent, not as potent
    2) More powdery-like scent
    3) less menthol

    The pour spout is wide, and so it comes out in very large quantities if you're not extra careful....and this is the only low mark I can give it.

    Overall, however, I like it better than the US version :happy088
     
  20. Baloosh

    Baloosh Duder

    1) and 2) are very good differences. I find the AV scent so strong, I can't use it as often as I want, because it interferes with my cologne that I'm going to wear that day... maybe I'll try doing and extra Cold Water Rinse on those days.

    3) is downright bad, and should probably be illegal. :eek: Less Menthol is never a good thing. :cool:

    Regarding the spout size, my 7oz. bottle of AV has a large opening as well, so I cover it with my index finger and let the correct amount flow out into my other hand. Otherwise, just like you said, it's a deluge of AV, and most of it ends up down the drain and not on my face. :mad:
