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 fragrance for close, deliberate evenings, when the room is warm and conversation moves slowly. Its powdery florals and ambered woods create a composed, slightly dramatic presence that feels elegant rather than loud, with a vintage softness that lingers near the skin.
How to wear
Best worn in cooler weather, especially autumn and winter, where its amber, sandalwood and powdery floral facets can unfold fully. Apply lightly to avoid overwhelming the green opening; one to three sprays is enough to give it a smooth, persistent trail with good depth on skin.
Who it’s for
For wearers who enjoy classical floral-amber compositions with a powdery, slightly nostalgic finish. It will appeal to those who like green openings, creamy woods, and a refined old-school style rather than sharp freshness or minimalist transparency.

The nose
Maurizio Cerizza is the in-house perfumer behind Rossopompeiano and the nose shaping Agatho Parfum’s Pompei Collection. His work here reflects a classical Italian sensibility: polished florals, creamy woods and ambered depth arranged with a sense of balance rather than excess. Cerizza’s style in this fragrance leans into texture and contrast, letting green galbanum and powdery heliotrope frame a heart of jasmine and orange blossom before settling into sandalwood and amber. The result feels rooted in traditional perfumery, but with a modern, luxurious finish.
Collaborators
Agatho Parfum’s creative direction, led by founder and CEO Alessandro Bianchi, shaped the Pompei Collection’s historical concept and Pompeii-inspired narrative, while Maurizio Cerizza translated that brief into the finished composition.
Agatho’s story
Agatho Parfum builds its identity around the cultural memory of Pompeii, reviving an imagined ancient perfumery heritage through contemporary niche compositions. The house pairs classical Italian craftsmanship with rich storytelling, artisanal presentation and a strong sense of place.
Rossopompeiano’s concept
Rossopompeiano was conceived as an olfactory tribute to Pompeii’s famous red frescoes and the cinnabar pigment associated with them. The fragrance turns that visual symbol into scent, moving from fresh, green brightness into a floral heart and a warm oriental base that echoes ash, stone and sensuality.
Extra info
