People often ask what makes Turkish soap and cologne different from what is already on the shelf at a UK supermarket. The short answer is formulation and habit. Bar soaps such as Dalan and Haci Sakir are made in the old style with olive oil, tallow or added honey, cut into 150g and 175g blocks and sold in fours, so a single pack lasts a household for months. Cologne is not aftershave: it is 80 degree lemon or mandarin scented spirit offered to guests, used on hands after a meal and kept in the car.
Soaps, colognes and shaving
This section holds over 80 products, arranged into Soaps, Shampoos, Cologne and Creams, Wax Products and Shaving Products. Familiar names include Dalan Traditional Pure White Soap Lavender 4 Pcs 500g, Haci Sakir Pure Soap With Olive Oil And Honey 4 Pcs 150g, the Haci Sakir 175g soothing lavender pack, Eyup Sabri Lemon Spray Cologne 150ml, the Eyup Sabri Tuncer 400ml Bodrum Mandarin Cologne and Duru 150ml Spray Lemon Cologne. Doralife also features. Prices start from under £1, and the range runs up to larger herbal pastes such as Maccun Plus 240g.
What to look for before you order
Decide first whether you want a spray or a splash bottle. Spray 150ml bottles are the ones to keep in a bag or car; 400ml splash bottles are for the house and for offering to visitors. With soap, olive oil bars are gentler on dry skin and honey versions are milder in scent, while lavender packs are the usual choice for linen cupboards as much as for washing. Check the piece count and gram weight together, because a four-pack of 150g bars and a four-pack of 175g bars look almost identical on screen.
Keeping products fresh at home
Unwrap bar soap and let it sit on an open shelf for a few weeks before use if you want it to last longer, since drier bars wear down more slowly. Keep colognes upright, away from radiators and out of direct sunlight, and close the cap fully because alcohol evaporates. Store wax and shaving items somewhere cool and dry. Nothing here needs refrigeration, and unopened items keep well for a long time in a cupboard.

Personal Care — frequently asked questions
How are colognes used in Turkish households?›
Cologne is offered to guests as they arrive and after meals, poured into the hands rather than sprayed on clothes. Lemon is the everyday scent and mandarin or floral versions are common for guests. A 400ml splash bottle usually stays at home while a 150ml spray goes in a bag or the car.
What goes well with the traditional bar soaps?›
Olive oil and honey bars suit hands and face, while lavender packs are often kept with towels and bed linen for the scent. Many people pair a soap pack with a lemon cologne and a shampoo from the same order, since all three are restocked at roughly the same rate.
Which personal care brands do you carry?›
The section includes Eyup Sabri Tuncer, Haci Sakir, Dalan, Duru and Doralife, plus Bogazici Kolonya products that also appear in cleaning. Product pages state the brand, size and piece count so you can compare a four-pack of 150g bars against a four-pack of 175g bars.
What are the sub-categories here?›
Personal Care is divided into Soaps, Shampoos, Cologne and Creams, Wax Products and Shaving Products. If you are restocking rather than browsing, going straight to the sub-category is quicker, and each one lists brands and pack sizes on the individual product pages.
Can I add personal care items to a grocery order?›
Yes, everything ships in one parcel and counts towards the £60 threshold for free delivery to London and mainland UK. Cologne bottles and soap packs are wrapped separately from food inside the box, and any chilled goods in the same order travel with ice-gel packs.
