[Google Scholar] When someone comes to the door the first thing you do after they sit down is offer them kolonya," said Engin Tuncer, CEO at Eyüp Sabri Tuncer, a well known kolonya producer. "This was the task of any home's youngest child — 'Come, give your uncles and aunties a sprinkle of kolonya.'" Colognes have high alcohol content and less oil content than perfumes. For this reason, they are made to be a refresher. Ingredient-wise, there’s not much difference between eau de cologne and Turkish kolonya. Both use roughly the same ethanol-to-essential-oil ratio and often incorporate citrus oils like orange and lemon. But what makes kolonya so unique is how it’s used, both culturally and practically.Otherwise, Turkish Cologne is pretty safe. Turkish Cologne is typically made of %80 also alcohol, and for this reason, it is a perfect sterilizer and disinfectant. Tariş: One of the most reputable brands for olive oil in Turkey also has a respected personal care line that includes over half a dozen kolonya varieties including the more rare fig, olive blossom and green tea aromas and also offers spray bottle options. Lemon cologne (Limon Kolonyasi) is Turkey’s most consumed type of cologne. Lemon cologne contains lemon essence, water, and alcohol. Turks started using it mainly as a refresher and perfume. By 1923, Eyüp Sabri Tuncer started producing kolonya out of a small shop in Ankara. Customers got free sample bottles. Turkish barbers spray Turkish after a haircut. It is also custom to apply cologne to the customer after shaving.

The supplier to our shop is Eyüp Sabri Tuncer, one of the foremost Kolonya producers in Turkey, and they export to more than 70 countries. One of their most recognizable products is the lemon scented Kolonya used across Turkey today. Corbin, Alain. 1986. The Foul and the Fragrant: Odour and the French Social Imagination. Leamington Spa, Hamburg, New York: Berg. [Google Scholar] In present-day Turkey, different kinds of scents and fragrances continue to be used in religious everyday rituals, including as substances that support prayer or as stimuli for the transcendence of everyday life. For example, esanslar, oil-based perfumes that are also sold by street vendors in front of large mosques, may be applied to the skin before prayer or to objects of everyday ritual use, such as prayer mats or beads. Locally produced rose water is used in large quantities on ceremonial occasions in mosques and during public events such as political rallies by the ruling AKP party or the opening of mosques ( Cumhuriyet Citation2021). At the same time, scents are part of everyday grooming practices and of the individual’s quest for a clean, pure, sensitive, and sensually attuned body. These attributes are considered important bodily effects of kolonya. Nevertheless, due to its alcohol content, kolonya is certainly not a religious object, firmly placed within the confines of religion. Thus, while alcohol as a substance itself is not prohibited, its consumption as an intoxicating liquid commonly is (Shahab Citation2016, 57). Footnote 2Kolonya is very important for the Turkish culture and it's unique to our culture actually. And it's a symbol of Turkish hospitality, uh, personal care, good health, Nuket Filiba, CEO of Atelier Rebul, said.

Sultan Abdülhamid II used it, and eventually adapted it by blending the tradition of rose water with the novelty of foreign alcohol-based fragrances to create kolonya. The department of Genetic and Bioengineering of Yeditepe University (Istanbul) conducted research on 11 well-known micro-organisms (nine bacteria, one fungus, and one yeast) and discovered that, our supplier, Eyüp Sabri Tuncer’s Kolonya is effective on all of them. ON THE POWER OF KOLONYA Eau de Cologne or cologne, in Turkish kolonya, takes its name from the German town of Cologne, where it originated as a branded product in the early eighteenth century. It emerged in Western Europe during the second plague pandemic in the fourteenth century, when European alchemists learned how to produce concentrated ethanol by distillation and subsequently developed a number of ethanol-containing healing waters based on aromatic plant extracts from thyme, lavender, neroli or rosemary, whose healing and antibacterial capacities were well-known in the pharmacies of European monasteries and cloisters, where these waters were first sold (Rosenbohm Citation1951). At the Ottoman court, locally produced rosewater was commonly used alongside such scented waters from Europe, which were widely marketed by French producers from the late seventeenth century (ibid., 136ff.). Thus, in his 1855 publication The Art of Perfumery the London perfumer Septimus Piesse already mentions the “Oriental” gesture of hospitality by offering perfumes and scented waters (quoted from Jung Citation2011, 4). Ahmad (or Ahmet) Faruki, an Istanbul resident of Egyptian origin, produced the first local product ( odikolon, later kolonya) in the late nineteenth century, which he sold alongside other cosmetics and fragrances in his own chic boutique in the modern district of Feriköy (Yentürk Citation2015). Another local producer of kolonya was Eyüp Sabri Tuncer, born in 1898 to a Bosnian family, who in the 1920s began selling his lemon-scented fragrance in the new capital of the republic, Ankara (Süngü Citation2020). In present-day Turkey, most producers are micro- and small-scale enterprises that produce kolonya alongside other products such as soaps, washing powder, and, to a lesser extent, cleaning materials and cosmetics (Özey and Çalışkan Citation2018).Kopytoff, Igor. 1986. “The Cultural Biography of Things: Commoditization as Process.” In The Social Life of Things: Commodities in Cultural Perspective, edited by A.Appadurai, 64–91.
