According to the song by Mikroutsikos and Nikolakopoulou, sung by Alexiou, (there are colognes that last for years).

One of them is MYRTÓ, the legendary lemon fragrance that reigned supreme in the decade from 1975 to 1985.

The cologne rubbed onto the chests and wrists of the very elderly and the sick to cool them down, the cologne young girls wear before leaving for school, the cologne that fills the air at vespers when worn by elegant ladies, the MYRTÓ cologne used to clean the icon of the saint being celebrated. 

Myrtó lemon cologne for everyone, for every occasion.

MADE IN GREECE

The fragrance was produced by the pharmaceutical company FA.MAR from 1959 (founded in 1949), and later at its factory in Avlona (48 km along the Athens–Lamia National Road).

FA.MAR was a Greek multinational pharmaceutical company, with 3,000 employees and 12 factories producing pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

The original bottle is round plastic, with thirteen vertical grooves for an easy grip, and a label featuring a hot-air balloon in the background, with the product details printed on it.
