SILENO

Sileno is a unisex extrait de parfum by Agatho, the Italian house that rediscovers the ancient ointments of Pompeii and reinterprets them in a contemporary way with high-quality natural raw materials. Part of the Pompei Collection, signed by perfumer Maurizio Cerizza, it is a fresh, bright Mediterranean scent that smells of wild scrubland and sea breeze.

The Fragrance

With Sileno, ancient distant lands and lush Mediterranean gardens awaken. Agatho combines the wild scents of the woods and the scrubland with hints of the sea, evoking unspoilt places that seem to exist only in poetry. It is an invitation to otium, the noble leisure time of the ancient Romans: a sunny, relaxed fragrance made to take a break from everyday life. Like the whole Pompei Collection, it comes in a bottle with a porcelain cap, presented in a wooden box with silk interiors.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is sparkling and green: citrus notes and green notes intertwine with blackcurrant and delicate orange blossom. In the heart, Sichuan pepper adds a bright, spicy spark, softened by ylang ylang and an aromatic, wild Mediterranean scrub accord. The base smells of sea and wood: seaweed absolute and ginger root rest on precious woods and cedarwood, for a fresh, salty and natural trail.

Who We Recommend Sileno To

We recommend Sileno to those who love fresh, natural perfumes with a marine and aromatic soul, far from the usual aquatics. It is perfect in spring and summer, for sunny days, seaside holidays and leisure time, and also for the office when you want an elegant freshness. Unisex, it suits everyone.
