There was no DDR in 1927 yet, though
But yes, lots of companies ended up behind the iron curtain indeed.

Hehe, right you are. The production in ex-YU probably started later, under licensce from the new German comradesThere was no DDR in 1927 yet, though

Not sure that Honecker and Tito were such good friends [emoji14] I actually don't know how the formula ended up there, and why it remained so popular.Hehe, right you are. The production in ex-YU probably started later, under licensce from the new German comrades

Oh no, I saw this while I was in Croatia this summer, wife vetoed the buy, even though it was dirt cheap. I did think it was a classic manly scent, now that I know what it is, I’ll pick it up for sure next trip to Croatia.Ok guys, here's some trivia. There is only one true Pitralon and it's actually called Ralon.
Original Pitralon was made if former East Germany but also in former Yugoslavia; under license from Pitralon company. It was renamed Ralon; it was relatively common practice in former Yugoslavia with other brands too.
Sometime in the 90s, Pitralon changed the original formula, but Ralon preserved it and is still being made in Croatia. So there you have it, the original scent still lives on in a form of a knockout brand.
Also, the original scent is very masculine, in a sense that only true men can handle it

Someone mentioned production in Spain. Never heard that before. Might be a clone of the original Pitralon.
This is what Pitralon says on its homepage:
(cited excerpt)
After the Second World War up until the 1990s, Pitralon was manufactured according to the original recipe in two separate factories in both parts of Germany. Production currently takes place in Switzerland and this original, first version of Pitralon in the 160 ml bottle is still available.
