In Fauno ancient fires reflect off the bronze statures of Roman deities depicting Bacchus feasting in company of fauns, satyrs and nymphs.
The perfume is a smoky echo of the Pompei mysteries lit with torches, perfumed with spicy incense and fragrant herbs.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Fauno suits an evening whose energy grows more uninhibited as conversation loosens. Tobacco and incense give it a dark, smouldering register, while juniper and sage keep the mood alert rather than languid—a scent for close company with an appetite for something less polished.
How to wear
Cool autumn and winter weather is a natural setting for its smoky tobacco, suede and woods. Start with one or two sprays on skin beneath clothing to keep the effect contained; in warmer air or close indoor settings, apply more lightly so the incense and leather do not crowd the aromatic detail.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to smoky leather fragrances with an herbal edge rather than pronounced sweetness. Fauno will appeal to lovers of tobacco, resinous incense and textured woods who enjoy a composition that feels both earthy and sensuous.

The nose
Maurizio Cerizza is an Italian perfumer whose work spans niche fragrances and broader commercial perfumery. His compositions often combine clearly defined natural references with layered, contemporary structures. In Fauno, aromatic herbs, tobacco and incense give shape to a smoky leather-and-wood composition.
Agatho’s story
Agatho translates Pompeian cultural imagery into contemporary perfumery rather than attempting to recreate ancient formulas. Its identity connects expressive fragrance compositions with Italian decorative craftsmanship, notably handcrafted porcelain caps made using traditional Capodimonte processes.
Fauno’s concept
Fauno takes its inspiration from the bronze Faun of Pompeii, imagining the figure coming alive amid incense and tobacco. The composition draws on the faun’s associations with instinct, sensuality and wild nature, extending the house’s Pompeian imagery into a smoky, aromatic interpretation rather than a reconstruction of an ancient perfume.
Extra info
Fauno belongs to Agatho’s Pompei Collection. Its official presentation pairs a fine porcelain cap with a silk-lined wooden box, extending the house’s emphasis on Italian craftsmanship beyond the fragrance itself.
