Pitralon Classic
Pitralon
The first Pitralon product was an EDT developed by Karl August Linger in Dresden in 1927. The product was marketed as having medicinal properties including disinfecting the skin, removing impurities, and opening blocked pores. In 1964, a new edition of Pitralon was introduced called "Pitralon Classic". Up until 1993, both Classic and the Original formula were produced in Germany, but in 1993 production of the Original formula was moved to Switzerland while production of Classic remains in Germany to this day. In 2014, Pitralon was sold by Unilever to Labori International of the Netherlands. Today, Pitralon is sold in three variants, Original (Switzerland), Classic (Germany) and Polar (Netherlands).
Scent Description
Pitralon Classic's main accord is citrus, with a powerful lemon and bergamot top note which dominates the fragrance. The bouquet is jam packed with floral, spice and wood notes, making a complex and multilayered melange. The overall effect is a scent which is green and herbaceous like a Fougere, but a Chypre due to its strong citrus component, and one with a strong floral heart due to the clear notes of lavender, rose, iris and jasmine. Similar complexity can be found in Epsilon's Blue Mediterranean or Razorock's The Dead Sea, although Pitralon is slightly more floral. An invigorating and fresh fragrance which can be worn in most daytime settings but might be a little too well-scrubbed for the seduction of date night. A true European classic.
