Eyüp Sabri Tuncer

Eyüp Sabri Tuncer was established in Istanbul in 1923, the year of the Turkish Republic's founding, making it one of the country's most historically rooted fragrance institutions. The house built its identity around limon kolonyası — Turkish lemon cologne, the ubiquitous eau de cologne format that occupies a distinctive cultural role in Turkey, dispensed at dining tables, in barbershops, on intercity buses, and at religious ceremonies as a combined fragrance and hygiene ritual. Eyüp Sabri Tuncer's lemon cologne is prepared according to a formula emphasising bright citrus volatility and clean alcohol carry that evaporates quickly and refreshes on contact. Over a century of production has made the brand synonymous with the kolonyası tradition itself — to many Turkish consumers, the brand and the format are indistinguishable. The catalogue has expanded over the decades to include additional formats and variations, but the lemon cologne remains the core product and cultural touchstone. Operating in the mass tier, Eyüp Sabri Tuncer is widely available across Turkey and wherever the Turkish diaspora has established commercial communities.
