At the place where I’m on vacation, they have Pitralon aftershave in a supermarket - both the classic red and also a blue Polar one. Should I get one, and if yes, which one and why?
Answers telling me that the correct response is “both” will not be accepted.
I’m not a fan of the polar one. Smells like alcohol and menthol.
I’m curious about the red one. Polar is a German Pitralon, but the *normal" Pitralon there is green. Swiss Pitralon is red, but the power isn’t sold here, so what’s your red Pitralon? Where does it come from? If it’s like the Swiss Pitralon Original:
Then it’s glorious: classic Ralon scent (which is said to be identical to the original uNoBtAiNiUm Pitralon) plus pear.
I managed to go to the supermarket without my dear wife. It doesn’t look quite like the Swiss version:
It’s produced by Minervium in Breda in the Netherlands.
I will use it tonight, and report back.
Noice. Mind lifting the secret about the country where you bought this? Asking for a Pitralon - collecting friend😅
It’s Austria! If you go to Croatia by car, you might get a chance to aquire the elixir on the way.
The correct answer for the number of aftershaves, soaps, razor, and so on is always n+1, where n is the number you currently have. So if you buy one of them, you’ll need to buy the second one too…
Jokes aside, I am not familiar with Pitralon. I did however go to their website and read up on the fragrance pyramid of both of them. They both sounds lovely, but I would spend my money on the classic red.
Cedar wood just sounds better to me than freshly mown grass :)
I am not familiar with Pitralon.
Pitralon features in a few German-language popsongs, among which this one. Trigger-warning: weird 1980 stuff. The song claims that “girls like it when you smell like a polecat”, and strongly suggests that the use of Pitralon is a way of achieving this.
I assume that thime version références is the classic red one - and I’m both tempted and afraid of trying it.
That was certainly… a thing.
Shame my deutsch ist sehr, sehr schlecht. Enough that I could pick up the gist of it. No worse that a lot of Norwegian 80’s stuff, to be honest :P
Well, this is not very Standard German, and the band, while having a huge success in Austria and Bavaria (and maybe in Switzerland?), never made it in the rest of Germany.
Divided by our common language, as we say 🤷♂️

The real question is – do you live in the US and are you willing to be a mule for me?
