Eyuep Sabri Tuncer

Eyüp Sabri Tuncer began as a drapery and haberdashery shop opened in Ankara in 1923, the same year the Turkish Republic was founded. Within a few decades it had become synonymous with kolonya — the lemon-scented cologne offered as a token of hospitality in Turkish homes, on long-distance buses, and after meals. The house is widely credited with shaping the modern lemon kolonya formula using domestic raw materials. The brand still anchors itself to that civic ritual. Alongside the iconic Limon Kolonyası it produces a wider range of personal-care scents and traditional waters, exporting to more than seventy countries while remaining a household fixture in Turkey. Its identity is less about luxury than continuity: a century-old daily fragrance that smells like grandmothers' hands and bus-station refreshment alike.
