Mainly wanted to share my thoughts for those curious what differs between the original Elixir and V2. I still have a fair amount of original version, but I wanted to try the new one since it has an updated scent profile. The original version was predominantly blueberry scented. Everyone's nose is different, but I barely noticed the vanilla and cinnamon in the original. For V2, the blueberry is significantly more subtle. It's still there, but I smell vanilla as the dominant scent, with subtle tones of blueberry and cinnamon.
I like both, but I think the V2 is an improvement overall. For anyone that loved the blueberry punch to the face of the original version, you might be disappointed by the change. Of course, the quality of the oil and butter is up to the usual RB greatness.
For reference, my favorite scents from RB are Cavalier and El Humidor. I also really liked tbe now discontinued Exile, which must not have been a strong seller. So your mileage may vary. Happy bearding!
