Black fig hair gel
Black fig hair gel
Antica Barbieria Colla
Antica Barbieria Colla has been Milan's barbershop since 1904, still run today by the Bompieri family.
Most hair gels resolve the problem of hold by creating stiffness. This one does not. Water-based and ultra-light, it holds without coating - hair stays soft and unsettled by static, with a natural finish that works on wet hair or dry.
The fragrance is black fig: Mediterranean, slightly sweet, fresh without being sharp. It is the detail clients tend to mention first.
A well-known entrepreneur from northern Italy visits the barbieria regularly to restock - each time leaving with six jars. His three sons insist on it.
100ml. 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.
