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
An unhurried afternoon punctuated by small glasses of strong tea: bergamot gives the opening a freshly groomed crispness, while cherry adds a more playful warmth. The softly bitter finish suits relaxed conversation at close quarters, where the fragrance feels personal rather than ceremonial.
How to wear
The citrus-and-tea balance makes this a natural choice for spring and mild summer days. Start with one or two sprays on the neck or forearms, leaving room for the juicy cherry and softer tea finish to develop. In hotter weather, apply lightly to keep the emphasis on the bright opening.
Who it’s for
For lovers of aromatic citrus who want more fruit and texture than a traditional cologne offers. It will appeal to those drawn to juicy cherry tempered by the gentle bitterness of black tea, and to nostalgic scents that remain bright rather than heavy.

The nose
Brahim Mohamed is Mabra’s founder and perfumer, an independent, self-taught creator whose practice grew through years of reading and research. His approach favors personal experience, creative individuality and small-batch craftsmanship. Konya Kolonyasi translates that outlook into a cologne-inspired composition built around bergamot, cherry and black tea.
Mabra’s story
Mabra is an independent French perfume house built around Brahim Mohamed’s personal approach to scent. It favors individual expression over convention, with fragrances assembled, bottled and packaged by hand in its French workshop. Travel and lived experience provide a framework for its creations.
Konya Kolonyasi’s concept
Konya Kolonyasi draws on the nostalgic character of Turkish cologne, moving from the aromatic bergamot of old barbershops to the juicy cherries of orchards around Konya. Its softly bitter black-tea base recalls the glasses of çay shared throughout the day. It belongs to Les Colognes en Voyage, a collection rooted in the creator’s affection for colognes since youth.
Extra info
Despite its cologne-inspired name and its place in Les Colognes en Voyage, the word “cologne” describes the fragrance’s creative theme rather than establishing its concentration. The official presentation is a compact 30 ml bottle.
