In Fauno ancient fires reflect off the bronze statures of Roman deities depicting Bacchus feasting in company of fauns, satyrs and nymphs.
The perfume is a smoky echo of the Pompei mysteries lit with torches, perfumed with spicy incense and fragrant herbs.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a scent for close, low-lit spaces where smoke, resin and leather can linger in the air: a room with dark wood, warm stone and the faint trace of burnt herbs. It projects a composed but primal presence, more atmospheric than loud.
How to wear
Best in cool weather, when its incense and tobacco can unfold without feeling dense. Apply lightly to let the smoky leather and aromatic herbs breathe; a few sprays are enough, as the fragrance has a steady, enveloping trail that softens beautifully on skin.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like smoky woods, incense, tobacco and leather with an aromatic edge. It suits those drawn to dark, classical, slightly animalic compositions that feel textured, historical and a little untamed rather than polished or transparent.

The nose
Maurizio Cerizza. Cerizza is an Italian perfumer associated with richly textured, characterful compositions that lean into contrast: smoke and resin, herbs and woods, sensuality and structure. In Fauno, that style comes through in the way incense, tobacco, leather and aromatic greenery are balanced into a dark, evocative composition rather than a purely heavy one.
Collaborators
Alessandro Bianchi, as Agatho’s founder and CEO, shaped the house’s Pompei concept and the broader historical brief behind the fragrance, framing Fauno as part of a modern reinterpretation of Pompeian perfumery.
Agatho’s story
Agatho Parfum builds its identity around a contemporary reimagining of Pompeii’s perfumed heritage, combining historical reference with artisanal presentation and luxurious materials. The house treats fragrance as cultural storytelling, with an emphasis on craftsmanship, natural richness and a distinctly Italian sense of opulence.
Fauno’s concept
Fauno is part of Agatho’s Pompei Collection, introduced in 2019 and inspired by the bronze Faun of ancient Pompeii. The perfume translates that image into smoke, incense, herbs and tobacco, evoking torchlit ruins, pagan revelry and the untamed, seductive energy associated with fauns in classical mythology.
Extra info
Fauno belongs to Agatho’s Pompei Collection and is housed in the brand’s ornate 100ml presentation with a porcelain cap. It is one of the house’s most recognisable smoky compositions, built around the image of a bronze faun from ancient Pompeii.
