Bath & Body

A Turkish bathroom shelf, explained

In many Turkish homes the bathroom and the front hall share the same few bottles: a big bottle of lemon cologne by the door for guests, an olive oil soap at the sink, and a thick cotton robe for after the bath. This collection gathers those staples from the Turkish brands our family grew up with.

What you will find here

• Kolonya (eau de cologne): Eyüp Sabri Tuncer in 400 ml bottles (Classic Lemon, Çeşme Lemon, Bodrum Mandarin, Amber, Ocean, Tobacco), a 5 × 16 mL mini gift set, and Rebul EDC in 250 ml unisex scents such as Green Tea, Lavanda and Jasmine. See the full kolonya range.
• Soap: Eyüp Sabri Tuncer natural olive oil liquid soaps in 500 ml (Ayvalık Olive Blossom, Alaçatı Lavender, Magnolia Blossom and more), a 500 ml foaming hand soap, and Mehmet Aydın Bıttım bar soap in a 4 × 120 g pack. Browse olive oil soap.

• Bathrobes and towels: Cottowels 6-piece 100% cotton family bathrobe sets and a Fiesta 4-piece embroidered cotton hand towel set (50 × 90 cm). See bathrobes and towels.
• Everyday extras: Arko Classic Cream in 250 ml, a long-time Turkish handbag favourite for dry hands.

How to choose

If you are new to these brands, start with one scent across two products, for example Çeşme Lemon or Bodrum Mandarin, which Eyüp Sabri Tuncer makes as both a cologne and a liquid soap. Lemon is the classic, fresh choice; amber and tobacco are warmer and suit evening use. Rebul scents are lighter and come in smaller 250 ml bottles, which makes them easy to try.

Care and storage

Kolonya is alcohol-based, so keep the cap tight and store it away from heat and open flame. Liquid soaps and shampoos keep best out of direct sunlight. Wash cotton robes and towels before first use; check each product page for the recommended temperature.

Gifting
