CASTIAMANTI

Castiamanti 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 an intense, warm and mysterious spicy amber that blends tradition and innovation with timeless charm.

The Fragrance

Castiamanti is born from the meeting of Mediterranean aromatic herbs and the allure of the Orient, which reached ancient Pompeii through sea trade. Agatho weaves sweet, balsamic and spicy notes into an enveloping, sensual composition with a bold character and an almost ritual charm. 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 aromatic and bright: laurel and myrtle bring the freshness of the Mediterranean scrub, warmed by saffron. In the heart, honey wraps a sweet, sensual bouquet of jasmine and rose. The base is deep and balsamic: incense and labdanum meet oud, vanilla and amber, while white musk leaves a soft, smoky and long-lasting trail.

Who We Recommend Castiamanti To

We recommend Castiamanti to those who love intense, refined ambers with a floral heart and a resinous, smoky base. It is perfect in autumn and winter, for evenings, ceremonies and occasions when you want to make an elegant impression. Unisex, it dresses both him and her with character.
