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 a close, animated setting where the air is warm and movement matters: a scent that feels alive on skin, with green brightness and peppery lift rather than heavy sweetness. It projects the impression of someone relaxed but alert, carrying a trace of woodland shade and sunlit herbs.
How to wear
Best in spring and summer, though its woods and spice keep it usable beyond warm weather. Apply lightly to let the green notes, pepper and ylang-ylang stay crisp; a few sprays are enough for a clear but not overpowering trail that softens beautifully in heat.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like green-spicy compositions with a floral core and a dry woody finish. It will appeal to those who enjoy fresh, slightly wild fragrances with character, especially if they prefer natural-feeling brightness over sweet or creamy florals.

Collaborators
Alessandro Bianchi, Agatho Parfum’s CEO and founder, shaped the house’s Pompeian concept and heritage-driven direction, guiding Sileno as part of the Pompei Collection’s modern revival of ancient fragrance imagery.
Agatho’s story
Agatho Parfum builds its identity around the rediscovery of Pompeian fragrance culture, translating ancient Mediterranean materials and imagery into modern niche perfumery. The house leans on natural ingredients, luxurious presentation and a clear sense of historical storytelling.
Sileno’s concept
Sileno belongs to Agatho Parfum’s Pompei Collection and was created as a tribute to Silenus, the wild companion of Dionysus in Greek mythology. The fragrance frames that figure through a landscape of lush gardens, herbaceous freshness and crisp spice, turning the idea of ancient otium into a modern, wearable scent.
Extra info
Sileno is part of Agatho Parfum’s seven-fragrance Pompei Collection. Its name refers to Silenus, the mythological forest creature and companion of Dionysus. The bottle presentation reflects the house’s luxury approach, with wooden packaging and a porcelain cap.
