Sileno or Silenus in Greek (or faun in Roman) mythology would be a creature of the wild forest – part man part beast. Silenus would accompany and entertain Dionysus in his god’s routines and parties.
The perfume is a sensual but fresh ylang-ylang with a generous crisp spices layer.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Sileno suits an unhurried afternoon with the doors open to a planted courtyard: green air outside, conversation close at hand. Its ylang-ylang lends a sensual undertone, while tart blackcurrant and crisp spices keep the mood alert rather than languid.
How to wear
Try Sileno in mild spring or autumn weather, when its green freshness and spicy warmth can sit in balance. Begin with one or two sprays on the neck or forearms; a restrained application lets the floral character remain intimate. In warmer conditions, apply lightly to keep the lush ylang-ylang in proportion.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy floral fragrances with a green, spicy edge rather than a sugary finish. Sileno will appeal to tastes drawn to ylang-ylang, tart fruit and aromatic woodland textures, with cedarwood providing a firmer counterpoint to the flowers.

The nose
Maurizio Cerizza is credited with composing Sileno. The Italian perfumer’s work spans niche fragrances and bespoke creations, combining an extensive knowledge of raw materials with a taste for nuanced botanical compositions. Sileno brings that sensibility to a contrast of lush florals, green freshness and incisive spice.
Agatho’s story
Agatho connects contemporary perfumery with the cultural imagination of ancient Pompeii. Its fragrances emphasise high-quality natural materials and evocative storytelling, while porcelain caps and carefully crafted presentation extend the house’s focus on Italian workmanship beyond the scent itself.
Sileno’s concept
Part of the Pompei Collection, Sileno takes its inspiration from Silenus, the mythological companion of Dionysus. The concept centres on otium, or contemplative leisure, imagining Mediterranean gardens and woodland enlivened by marine freshness. Green notes, pepper and woods translate this landscape into scent, while the narrative evokes music, storytelling and distant journeys.
Extra info
Ylang-ylang appears in Agatho’s descriptive narrative even though it is absent from the brand’s structured heart-note list. The official 100 ml presentation includes a fine porcelain cap and a wooden box in which the bottle rests on silk.
