    Rebul is available on eBay, I initially found in an ethnic grocery store in Essex. I also got a few bottles in Istanbul, I found the Pomellos in Istanbul too.

    Thanks for the information. But looks like I'll probably need to look stateside for a close substitute.

    I'm a big fan of Kolonya as well and thought the Pomellos bottle would look so cool in my den.
    I just found their website and I really need this now.

    With the current exchange it would be just 15 bucks - incredible.

    Can these work as aftershaves, too?

    I dont know if you have access but Paşabahçe makes artisan colognes also.
    But i prefere Eyup Sabri Tuncer No:1 for aftershave cologne, or Rebul Lavanta as half hour after shave :D

    Kolonya is the Turkish Version of Eau De Cologne and usually contains 80% alcohol and nothing else that really benefits the skin, but it's traditionally used as an after shave in Turkey - among many other things, especially during the pandemic.
    Except when it's Tıraş (which means shaving) Kolonya, like the Eyüp Sabri Tuncer above - then it may also contains some skin food.

    Arko After Shave Cologne would be a more prominent (and cheaper) example - but it still contains 80°vol.

    Let's say it's not always for the sensitive type (like me).
