Orange Blossom Cologne (Portakal Çiçeği Kolonyası)

Eyüp Sabri Tuncer

A citrus-floral splash cologne made from Antalya-region orange blossoms — the area's citrus groves make this a genuinely regional specialty, not just a generic Turkish souvenir. Eyüp Sabri Tuncer is a well-known, widely-distributed Turkish cologne brand carrying this scent.

📍 Pharmacies, supermarkets, and souvenir shops throughout Antalya, including Kaleiçi
