Almond Oil Aftershave Milk
Almond Oil Aftershave Milk
Antica Barbieria Colla
Antica Barbieria Colla has been Milan's barbershop since 1904, still run today by the Bompieri family.
When Francesca Bompieri joined the family business in 2014, she brought a specific response to a gap the clients had identified: a lighter aftershave for summer, more easily absorbed than the house's long-standing Apricot Hull. She worked with production to develop a line of three fragrance milks. This is the almond.
The formula is free of silicones, parabens, and synthetic thickeners - which means that over time a slight separation between the aqueous and oily phases may appear in the bottle. This is not a flaw. A brief stir before use is all that's needed to restore it. What other products prevent with chemistry, this one resolves with a moment's attention.
Almond oil, light and soothing. The fragrance the house is known for.
100ml. In a glass bottle. Hand-made in Italy.

About the barbershop
Antica Barbieria Colla has been on Via Gerolamo Morone in Milan since 1944 - and in the city, without interruption, since 1904. Dino Colla opened the original barbieria near the Duomo that year, modelled on the private gentlemen's clubs of London. The house survived two addresses and a wartime bombing; Francesca Bompieri, whose father Franco ran it from 1975, runs it today. The product line - hair, skin, beard, shaving, and four signature colognes - traces its formulations to Colla himself, each recipe passed down and quietly refined through the generations of ownership that followed. Everything is hand-made in Italy by specialists who work in direct contact with the house.
