The Mediterranean freshness of the essence, whose citrus notes are accompanied by the sensuality of damask rose, sublimating in sinuous oriental echoes, is inspired by the colour that has made the frescoes of Pompeian domes famous and unmistakable all over the world.
The pigment obtained from the mineral cinnabar, Rossopompeiano, emblem of a part of the history the perfumer Agatho’s city, becomes a perfume.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a dressed, unhurried floral: the scent of a silk scarf tucked into a wool coat before an afternoon visit that stretches into evening. Green citrus keeps the opening alert, while rose, heliotrope and warm woods give the encounter a softer, more intimate register.
How to wear
Mild to cool weather is a natural match for the powdery flowers and warm amber-wood base. Start with one or two sprays on skin, allowing the citrus and galbanum opening to settle before adding more. In warm conditions, apply lightly so the floral richness does not dominate close surroundings.
Who it’s for
For lovers of powdery florals with a vintage sensibility, especially those drawn to rose, heliotrope and sandalwood. Its green-citrus opening offers contrast to the warm base, making it appealing to anyone who prefers layered floral compositions over sheer freshness or overt sweetness.
Release year
2019 (or 2017)
The nose
Maurizio Cerizza is an Italian perfumer whose work spans independent fragrance houses and bespoke compositions. His approach combines technical precision with an interest in natural materials and nuanced accords. In Rossopompeiano, citrus and green notes frame a layered floral heart, balanced by powdery heliotrope and warm woods.
Agatho’s story
Agatho reinterprets Pompeian perfume heritage through contemporary compositions rather than literal reconstructions of ancient formulas. Its identity brings together historical storytelling and Italian craftsmanship, extending from the fragrance to handcrafted Capodimonte porcelain caps. Authenticity and artisanal production take precedence over trend-led design.
Rossopompeiano’s concept
Rossopompeiano takes its inspiration from the distinctive red of Pompeian frescoes, associated in the house’s narrative with the mineral cinnabar. Mediterranean citrus, Damask rose and a warm woody-amber foundation translate that visual richness into scent. It belongs to the Pompei Collection, a contemporary exploration of the ancient city’s perfume heritage.
Extra info
The name refers to Pompeian red, the fresco colour associated with cinnabar. The presentation continues the house’s emphasis on decorative craftsmanship, with a fine-porcelain cap and a box lined with silk.
