This study analyzes the visual and typographic elements used in Turkish cologne packaging,
examining how brands visually represent different scents. Through a content analysis
of design components such as background style, color, imagery, typography, and graphical
structures, the study aims to identify current trends in scent representation within packaging
design. A dataset of 83 cologne products from 17 brands is systematically categorized
to map out contemporary approaches to scent-based visual representation. Findings indicate
a predominant reliance on solid backgrounds (50.6%), illustrative imagery (81.1%),
and geometric shapes (78.6%), with sans-serif typography (52.2%) being the most common
choice for scent names. Brands demonstrate two primary visualization strategies: aligning
their designs with the scent itself or maintaining a consistent corporate identity across various
fragrances. By mapping how scents are visually expressed in Turkish cologne packaging,
this study provides insights into the role of visual representation in fragrance perception
and contributes to the understanding of contemporary design practices in scent-based product
packaging.

GÖRSEL KOKU: TÜRK KOLONYA AMBALAJLARINDA GRAFİK VE TİPOGRAFİK TEMSİLLER

Bu çalışma, Türk kolonya ambalajlarında kullanılan görsel ve tipografik unsurları analiz
ederek, markaların farklı kokuları nasıl görselleştirdiğini incelemektedir. Arka plan stili,
renk, görseller, tipografi ve grafik yapılar gibi tasarım bileşenleri üzerinden yapılan içerik
analizi, kokuların ambalaj tasarımında nasıl temsil edildiğine dair mevcut eğilimleri belirlemeyi
amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada, 17 markaya ait 83 kolonya ambalajı incelenerek
kokunun görsel temsiline yönelik tasarım yaklaşımları sistematik olarak kategorize edilmiştir.
Bulgular, düz renk arka planların (%50,6), illüstratif görsellerin (%81,1) ve geometrik
şekillerin (%78,6) yaygın olarak kullanıldığını göstermektedir. Ayrıca, sans serif yazı
tiplerinin (%52,2) koku adlarında en yaygın tercih olduğu belirlenmiştir. Markaların, tasarımlarını
ya doğrudan kokunun kendisini yansıtacak şekilde ya da farklı kokular arasında
tutarlı bir kurumsal kimlik oluşturacak biçimde geliştirdiği gözlemlenmiştir. Bu çalışma,
Türk kolonya ambalajlarında kokunun görsel olarak nasıl ifade edildiğini haritalandırarak,
koku temelli ürün ambalajlarında görsel temsilin rolüne dair içgörüler sunmakta ve
çağdaş tasarım uygulamalarının anlaşılmasına katkıda bulunmaktadır.
