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.
Alas, I’m a carless millennial and we’re flying directly. I’ll have to go for a separate Schnitzel & Pitralon trip someday.
According to this site, you should get the same in Germany as Pitralon Pure.
Interesting! I thought I had bought all the German Pitralons. One more to chase down!
Not to hijack, but have fun in Croatia. I went a few years ago and loved every second in the country.
Thanks!
Yeah, Croatia is great for vacationing. I’m really looking forward😌
I did a road trip from Zagreb > Plitvice > Split > Dubrovnik. Really want to go back and hit up the northern part of the coastline.
That’s great! I did the same trip 14 years ago (in reverse order, bit still)
The northern coastline is nice, too, but the best is visiting the islands. Those little harbours with their fish restaurants and the konobas in the hills is peak summer vacation for me
