Duru Lemon Cologne, 400 ml

Four years ago I came across an Egyptian Cologne called Chabrawichi 555. Unfortunately, their factory burned down shortly after I discovered it and it is impossible to obtain; this led me on a search for a replacement. I have tried at least six Clubman products: Lime Sec, Citrus Musk, Original Clubman, Virgin Island Bay Rum, Clubman Vanilla, and Whiskey Woods. All of the Clubman products smell cheap and just don't really appeal to me. I got a small bottle of 4711 Original Eau De Cologne two years ago and do in fact like it; however, it is pricey. In the last month I have come across Duru Limon, the Turkish Lemon eau de Cologne. This is the first Cologne that I have tried since Chabrawichi that I actually look forward to using. You get so much more volume for about the third of the price than the 4711 and get a great feeling of refreshment when you use it. What is amazing is that the ingredient lists are almost the same as 4711 and Clubman products. The Duru LImon lists: Citral, Citronellol, Geraniol, Linalool, and Limonene. The 4711 lists: Limonene, Linalool, Citral, Hydroxycitronellal, Geraniol, and Citronellol. Clubman Original lists: Citral, Citronellol, Evernia Pronestri (oakmoss) extract, Geraniol, Hydroxycitronellol, Limonene, and Linelool. Yes, these are all chemicals that can be extracted from all manner of plant products. Even cannabis strains can have limonene, linalool, and geraniol in them. The scent is blended by a master perfumer and as eau de Cologne is mostly alcohol and water the scent blend ratios can be tricky to perfect. Duru Limon has a fantastic formulation. I will be definitely buying Duru Limon again. I just hope the factory doesn't burn down!

This cologne is for sanitizing and cleaning purposes ONLY, if you dislike your hand sanitizer or alcohol to clean your hands , go ahead and buy this cologne . It may use to refresh yourself but do not expect this kind of colognes to be perfumes or high quality colognes . Again this is used in Turkey only for cleaning purposes , hands and maybe feet . Also as room spray or for your pillows . They are better quality scents than DURU in turkey like Eyüp Sabri Tuncer the most popular and fabulous sanitizing cologne in turkey , definitely better quality than DURU, but go ahead and give it a try. Perfect to place it in your car like a spray or for the gym to sanitize your hands and smell like lemon blossoms I give the cologne 4 stars, because I have tried better ones in Turkey. If you can find wet towels with cologne fragrance, that’s also a beautiful option to carry on to clean yourself, they smell like Turkey 😻😻😻

As someone who lived in Turkey for 5 years, kolonya is certainly a daily staple! I forgot that this isn't commonplace in the States, so I was excited to see it here on Amazon. Duru isn't my favorite brand of kolonya, but this is the most accessible one I've been able to find at a reasonable price point. Pros: This was carefully packaged with no spills. The scent is light and refreshing. This is not meant to be long lasting. This is meant to cleanse and refresh the hands, neck, etc. The scent works for men and women. 80% alcohol makes this even more sanitizing than most traditional hand sanitizers on the market! Cons: This price of about $7-8 isn't bad at all, but this is certainly cheaper in Turkey! Even at Watsons at the height of Turkish lira inflation, this 400 mL plastic bottle is no more than the equivalent of about $5. This isn't a deal breaker for me though.

I read about Turkish lemon cologne on BBC and decided I had to try it out. Let's just say that if I could shower with this or bathe in this, I would be a happy camper. It smells utterly phenomenal: pure, fresh citrus with a subtle herbal base note. Although it has 80% alcohol and has powerful disinfectant qualities, you get none of the harsh isopropyl/ethanol notes you'd expect. During the hot summer months this keeps me feeling refreshed and clean.

After watching travel shows where kolonya was used to welcome guests, I decided to investigate and found Duru. What a lovely, lemon blossom scent! I’ve been enjoying using it throughout the day, before bed, and even spraying some on the sheets before bed. The scent is not overpowering and does not last too long, so you can be generous!

Great product for a quick refreshing, pick me up. Just pour some in your hands and rub it over your arms and fluff thru your hair. It’s not drying to my skin and smells crisp and lemony fresh! We used this when I was an exchange student in the Middle East! It’s awesome!

I used as a hand sanitizer, works really good and dry fast.

As a woman with horrible perfume allergies, I wanted a light fresh scent that wouldn’t set off sneezing or headaches. This fits the bill. Its strong at first, but only for about five minutes, then mellows to a bright, faint whiff of lemons. I think its the nicest thing I’ve put to my olfactory bulb. Only four stars, as bottle came with cap partially unscrewed, so 1/3 of the bottle had leaked out and the package was sopping.

Good smell and make hygiene

Brilliant in this hot weather, cools instantly. Last good few hours

Teşekkür ederim

I love this Cologne very much. It's smooth cytrus lemon aroma and scent brings out the freshness in a humanbeing. The scent of this cologne is one of its kind and cannot be replicated. I will suggest Men with a taste for quality product to purchase this Cologne

Sent bon même si l'odeur ne tue pas longtemps, super à avoir dans un hall d'entrée pour des invité ou sur une table pendant un repas.
