The fame of this aftershave is indestructible and is based not least on the fact that young shaving novices of the 1960s never forgot its legendary sharpness throughout their lives. Of all the Pitralons currently sold in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, this one, which is otherwise only available in Switzerland, comes closest to the legendary old Pitralon in terms of ingredients and presentation. The only thing it has in common with the remedy of the same name that can be bought in this country is its origin, but not the later addition of cedar oil and menthol. Instead, it contains geranium oil and ylang-ylang, the oil from the flowers of the tree-like orchid Cananga odorata.
