Kolonya has become much more than just a good smell in a country where over 10,000 people have died of COVID-19 so far, and where the virus looks to be rising once more.

As has been argued by proponents of an anthropology of senses (see Classen Citation2010; Corbin Citation1986; Howes Citation2003), like material objects, sensorial modalities are produced by and with effects on social relations, practices and meanings, operating in distinct ways across time and space. While the kolonya renaissance in Turkey and its diaspora in the early COVID-19 crisis can be linked to various practical reasons, its earlier disappearance is less easily explained. Like Necile, other interlocutors linked its gradual disappearance from Turkish homes and public spaces to the rise of an Islamic movement, which was critical of its high alcohol content; the individualization of Turkish society; or the growing import of Western perfumes and wet wipes, following Turkey’s economic liberalization and inclusion into an increasingly global market since the 1980s. Perhaps most of all, kolonya had suffered a symbolic decline and was commonly associated with elderly persons and as something used in rural or traditionalist rather than urban or cosmopolitan settings. The devaluation of kolonya became especially clear from research with Turkish immigrants and their children in Germany. Up until that time, rose water was offered to the guests to clean their hands, or rose water was served with Turkish Delight, Turkish Coffee and rose water had a prominent place in our culture.

For this reason, Turkish Kolonya is not similar to Eau de Cologne. 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.

[Google Scholar]Thus, in Muslim history and within Islamic or Prophetic Medicine, scents are endowed with great significance, with good scents being considered media of protection and of divine presence. During the so-called Golden Age of Islam, scholars and physicians such as Ali Rabban at-Tabarī (fl. ca. 805–870 AD), al-Kindī (801–873 AD), al-Masʿūdī (fl. ca. 895–957 AD) and al-Zahrāwī (936–1013 AD), being expected “to have knowledge on the preparation of perfumes” (King Citation2017, 5), ascribed healing powers to particular scents. In his fourteenth-century treatise of prophetic medicine, the theologian and physician Ibn Quayyim al-Jawziyya (1292–1350 AD) lists several scents—including musk, aloe wood, ambergris, and frankincense—as medical substances, stating that perfume (Arab., t.īb) preserves the health, because “it makes the heart rejoice, pleases the soul and revitalizes the spirit” (Ibn Quayyim al-Jawziyya Citation1998, 199). Scents are more generally regarded highly as among the “beloved things” of the Prophet, also functioning as demonifuge according to Ibn Quayyim due to the fact that “[g]ood spirits love a beautiful scent, while evil spirits like an evil smell” (ibid., 200).
