A sea breeze weaves through the slumbering streets of Pompeii at dawn. Here, the Mediterranean aromas of citrus fruits and aromatic herbs blend with the wild scent of dew-kissed apples. The talcum-like fragrance of frescoed walls, suggested by powdery iris, grounds the fragrance.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a fragrance for close, unhurried mornings when the air still feels washed and cool. It suits a wearer who likes their freshness with texture: salt on skin, herbs in the breeze, and a soft powdery trail that feels composed rather than sporty.
How to wear
Best in spring and summer, especially in mild to warm weather where its citrus, sage and marine notes can stay crisp. Apply lightly to pulse points or with one to three sprays for a clean, airy presence; the iris and musk give it a smoother, more lasting finish on skin than a simple fresh cologne.
Who it’s for
For those who prefer refined freshness over sharp citrus, and who enjoy aromatic-marine scents with a powdery, slightly classical edge. It will appeal to lovers of clean compositions, Mediterranean herbs and understated elegance with a historical twist.

2025
The nose
No named perfumer is credited for Portamarina. Agatho’s fragrances are presented as contemporary creations shaped by the house rather than by a publicly identified nose, which suits the brand’s historically minded, concept-led approach.
Collaborators
Alessandro Bianchi, Agatho’s CEO, is the clearest creative figure attached to the brand’s direction, helping shape its modern revival of Pompeian perfumery and the conceptual framing of the Pompei Collection.
Agatho’s story
Agatho Parfum builds its identity around the rediscovery of ancient Pompeii, translating Roman-era fragrance culture into polished contemporary compositions. The house leans on historical imagery, natural materials and a distinctly Mediterranean sensibility, balancing scholarship with modern luxury.
Portamarina’s concept
Portamarina belongs to the Pompei Collection and was launched in 2025 as part of Agatho’s ongoing reinterpretation of Pompeian fragrance culture. The scent is imagined as a serene morning in the Vesuvian city, where sea air, citrus, herbs and powdery iris suggest both coastal freshness and the texture of frescoed walls.
Extra info
Portamarina is part of Agatho’s Pompei Collection and was released in 2025. The name and concept evoke the sea-facing side of ancient Pompeii, while the composition pairs modern freshness with a talcum-like iris effect that recalls frescoed walls.
