Rest in the blissful shade of an orchard in the humming city of Pompeii: the year is 195 BC. Inhale the sweet aroma of ripe figs and the local pomegranate leaves heated by the sun; these entine spicy incense being smoked in the nearby temple. So anciently refreshing!
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of moving through warm shade with confidence: green leaves, fruit and incense rising around you as the air turns dense and intimate. It suits close social settings where presence matters more than volume, leaving a sensual, slightly untamed trail.
How to wear
Best in mild to warm weather, where its fig, mint and incense can breathe without becoming heavy. Apply moderately; a few sprays are enough, as the woody base and spicy-resinous drydown give it lasting presence and a noticeable aura on skin and in the air.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like fig scents with depth, green-fruity compositions with a darker base, and perfumes that feel both refined and sensual. It will appeal to those drawn to incense, woods and a slightly dramatic, niche-style signature.

The nose
Maurizio Cerizza. Cerizza is a contemporary Italian perfumer known for composing characterful niche fragrances with a polished, textural style that often balances naturalistic materials with a strong sense of structure. In 195 A.C., that approach supports Agatho’s historical concept: the scent moves from vivid green-fruity brightness into a darker, more resinous woody base, giving the perfume its sensual, architectural shape.
Collaborators
Alessandro Bianchi, Agatho Parfum’s founder and CEO, shaped the house’s creative direction around the revival of Pompeian perfumery and the use of high-quality natural materials; for 195 A.C., that concept clearly guided the historical imagery and the fragrance’s ancient-Rome narrative.
Agatho’s story
Agatho Parfum builds its identity around the rediscovery of Pompeian fragrance culture, translating ancient Roman imagery into modern niche perfumery. The house favours narrative-driven compositions, artisanal presentation and rich natural materials, with each scent framed as a contemporary reimagining of historic luxury.
195 A.C.’s concept
195 A.C. is Agatho’s tribute to 195 BC, the symbolic year when the Lex Oppia was abolished, a moment the house links to renewed freedom, beauty and sensual pleasure. The fragrance imagines a Pompeian garden alive with ripe fig, sunlit leaves and temple incense, turning Roman history into a lush, green-woody scent.
Extra info
195 A.C. is part of Agatho’s Pompei Collection and is described by the house as one of its seven iconic essences. The name refers to 195 BC and the abolition of the Lex Oppia, and the fragrance is also presented as the brand’s best-selling scent.
