Hi, recently reading that minimock i centered my attention in the "Super Mario Cologne" I recognized that bottle at the moment, (in the '80 s my grandfather got a country-shop with all sort of things, from stalkings to ammo) That lavel of Cologne is not one of those things, but the maker was "GALSA", a funest name in the 'perfume' range because they done only two things:
1 Lame ultra-cheap cologne in the same bottle but with the sticker according to the moods, that cologne got 'best before' date, and when dated it rots and smells horrible, but at least it work as a engine coolant (my father's Dodge uses Super Mario. And yours?) Those Colognes was intended for children.
2 Copies of known perfumes, watered as hell and packaged in lame glass bottles, the same at all 'brands' the bottle was a copy in small of the plastic kiddy bottle.
All two cases w/out any licencing, GALSA kicked the bucket at 1993 when EU normative banned the grade of Alcohol GALSA used.
Resuming: The 'funny' smell of the 'Colonia' was shame of his dated-out ingredients and maybe exposure to light, when was new only smelled like Alcohol with something (maybe was whisky
)
This is all i know about this 'rotten' bussiness
