Every morning, freshly shaved men in Yugoslavia would apply the famous lotion that is still produced today.
Brion was famous not only for its scent but also because, with the right “recipe,” it could be consumed… It was known that in prisons and barracks, it served as a substitute for alcoholic beverages that were not allowed in these institutions. A prisoner or soldier would take a piece of wire, heat it, and then put it into the bottle. After a chemical reaction, the scent would evaporate, leaving “pure” alcohol.
