Agatho Parfum
2 fragrances
Agatho Parfum is represented in our catalog by two unisex Eau de Parfums, and both lean warm and resinous. Expect incense, labdanum, amber and cedar in the base, with very different openings: one bright with juniper and rhubarb, the other heavy with tuberose and tobacco.
A good pairing to try if you like spiced woods and want to see how a small house handles incense in daylight and after dark.
Where to start with Agatho Parfum
With only two scents to choose from, it helps to know how far apart they are.
- Agatho Parfum Giardinodiercole: launched in 2019 and composed by Maurizio Cerizza, it opens with juniper berries, bergamot, rhubarb and lavender, then turns peppery and smoky with incense, black pepper, pimento, saffron and sage. Virginia cedar, cashmeran, amber, patchouli and sandalwood carry the drydown. Listed as citrus aromatic, it is the fresher of the two despite its spice.
- Agatho Parfum Fauno: a denser composition of pimento and tuberose with tobacco leaves, incense and magnolia, resting on gray amber and cedar. It reads warmer, more floral and more nocturnal.
How to choose
If you want something you can wear to work in spring or fall, Giardinodiercole is the logical first sample: the citrus and juniper keep the incense from feeling heavy. If you are drawn to white flowers that come with smoke and tobacco, or need a cold-weather evening scent, start with Fauno. Fans of spiced cedar will likely get along with both, so trying the pair side by side is the most efficient way to decide.
