    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 this version references 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 🤷‍♂️
