In the early 80’s, they had a cologne called The Baron. It was in a mercury colored bottle. This stuff was utterly fantastic, and there was no smell that was even close to it. It went out of production for about 15 years, and now i understand that it is back in production. Well, i don’t trust the swine anymore and i want to know how i can duplicate the fragrance on my own in case they stab me in the back once more! Can anyone tell me what the essential oils are, or what the fragrance is? Is there a cologne clone site anywhere that could help me? It (the fragrance)seemed terribly familiar, yet i never could place it! ---
