In fleeting top notes Myrtle, fragile as the promises of love, encounters the preciousness of saffron, merging into an indomitable desire for eros.
The luxuriant notes of honey are exalted by the jasmine night breeze that pervades the home of the chaste lovers, among the frescoes, on a thalamus of rose petals.
The mysterious notes of incense and sweet vanilla blend with the oriental contamination of amber and labdanum that fades into the ancient aroma of agar wood, sealing the essence of Castiamanti, expression of rich Pompeii.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An evening conversation that stretches well past the last course, with chairs drawn closer and voices lowered. Honeyed flowers give Castiamanti a tactile sweetness, while incense and oud add a darker undertone suited to this unhurried intimacy.
How to wear
Its honey, vanilla and resinous woods suggest cooler weather, when the sweetness is less likely to feel heavy. Start with one or two sprays on skin beneath clothing for a restrained presence; an exposed application lets the aromatic myrtle and saffron register more readily. Use a lighter hand in warm rooms.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to honeyed florals, aromatic spice and resinous woods rather than crisp freshness. It suits a taste for richly textured fragrances in which rose and jasmine share space with incense, labdanum and oud.

The nose
Maurizio Cerizza. The Italian perfumer brings a strong knowledge of natural aromatic materials to compositions that balance botanical detail with layered accords. In Castiamanti, aromatic myrtle and saffron introduce a honeyed floral heart, framed by incense, resins and agarwood.
Agatho’s story
Agatho reinterprets the scented world of ancient Pompeii through contemporary Italian perfumery. Historical imagery informs the fragrances without making them archaeological reconstructions, while material quality and craftsmanship extend to handcrafted Capodimonte porcelain caps and fresco-inspired presentation.
Castiamanti’s concept
Part of the Pompei Collection, Castiamanti explores passion and enduring love through the imagined room of ancient lovers: honey, night-blooming jasmine and rose petals give way to incense and warm resins. Its imagery evokes Pompeii’s House of the Chaste Lovers and its banquet frescoes, offering a contemporary romantic interpretation rather than a recreated ancient formula.
Extra info
Honey is an explicit part of the official heart-note pyramid, alongside jasmine and rose. As part of the Pompei Collection, Castiamanti also belongs to a presentation tradition featuring handcrafted Capodimonte porcelain caps and wooden cases decorated with Pompeian fresco imagery.
