Konya Kolonyasi opens with a bright burst of bergamot. Crisply fruity and aromatic, it evokes old Turkish barbershops.
Then there is the juicy technicolour cherry note inspired by the orchards surrounding the city of Konya in the blessed Central Anatolia.
In the base, black tea settles softly on the skin, recalling the endless glasses of Turkish çay (chai) shared throughout the day.
Deep, comforting and slightly bitter.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of a close, unhurried space where freshness matters but never feels thin: a barber chair, a tea glass left warm in the hand, sunlight catching fruit and wood. It projects a tidy, composed presence with a quietly aromatic trail.
How to wear
Best in mild to warm weather, where the bergamot can stay crisp and the tea base can dry down cleanly on skin. Apply lightly to keep the cologne character airy; a few sprays are enough for a neat, fresh aura that sits close at first and becomes softer and more tea-like over time.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like citrus colognes with a twist: bright, aromatic openings, a touch of fruit, and a dry, understated base. It will appeal to those who enjoy clean but characterful scents, especially if they like tea notes, barbershop freshness and restrained woody-citrus compositions.

The nose
Brahim Mohamed is the founder and in-house perfumer of Mabra Parfums, a self-taught creator known for building his fragrances himself rather than outsourcing the work to a larger studio. His style, as the brand presents it, leans artisanal and material-driven, with a clear interest in natural textures and place-based ideas. In Konya Kolonyası, that approach shows in the way a classic cologne structure is reframed through Turkish imagery: bergamot for the barbershop brightness, cherry for the orchards around Konya, and black tea for a dry, comforting finish. The result feels like a travel sketch rather than a conventional citrus scent.
Mabra’s story
Mabra Parfums is a French artisanal house built around founder-led perfumery, small-batch production and a close, hands-on approach to composition. Its identity is rooted in natural materials and in fragrances that feel personal, direct and shaped by a clear idea rather than by trend.
Konya Kolonyasi’s concept
Konya Kolonyası belongs to Mabra’s travel-minded cologne line and draws its concept from Konya in Central Anatolia. The fragrance was framed around the brightness of old Turkish barbershops, the cherry orchards surrounding the city and the everyday ritual of Turkish tea, turning a familiar cologne structure into a regional portrait.
Extra info
Konya Kolonyası is part of Mabra’s “Les Colognes en Voyage” idea, a line built around place-inspired colognes. Its note pyramid is unusually simple and memorable: bergamot, cherry and black tea. The name points directly to Konya, a city associated in the brand story with cherry production and tea culture.
