ADONE

Adone 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 and passionate floral dedicated to the legendary beauty of Adonis.

The Fragrance

Adone captures the splendour of the young man loved by Aphrodite, whose beauty, according to myth, was destined to blossom fleetingly before fading, like a rare gem of ephemeral beauty. Agatho translates it into a bright, vibrant perfume where the freshness of citrus and fruit meets a blooming garden and soft woods. 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 juicy: blackcurrant and grapefruit light up with pink pepper, while rosewood adds a woody, rosy nuance. In the heart, a fresh, radiant garden of geranium, white lily, Damask rose, jasmine and wisteria blooms. The base is clean and bright: ambroxan, precious woods, ambrette seeds and white musk leave a soft, sensual trail on the skin.

Who We Recommend Adone To

We recommend Adone to those who love fresh, sunny florals with a fruity liveliness and a clean, refined base. It is perfect in spring and summer, during the day, at the office and for occasions when you want an elegant, luminous perfume. Unisex, it suits her and him beautifully.
