Abbate y La Mantia
Saffron-rooted Italian grooming and fragrance from Tuscany.
Abbate y La Mantia is a Tuscan artisan house founded by Dr. Abbate, working at the intersection of traditional Italian grooming and niche perfumery. The brand is particularly known for its use of Sicilian saffron — a rare and costly ingredient — as a signature material running through shaving creams, balms, and eau de parfums alike. The Sicilian origin of the saffron connects the house to the island's Moorish and Mediterranean botanical heritage, while the Tuscan base grounds it in Italy's artisan crafts tradition. The catalogue is modest in scale but coherent in vision: every product from shaving soap to fragrance uses the same high-quality botanical raw materials, creating a unified sensory world. Abbate y La Mantia appeals to collectors of both niche fragrance and traditional wet-shaving who value Italian artisan quality above marketing volume.
