Rossopompeiano

This is one of those rare scents that is far more than the sum of its parts. I feel like I’ve smelled everything, and this is a masterpiece to me. I can still have my breath taken away by a fragrance. It begins with a flash of juicy vermillion mandarin, with galbanum lending an addictive bitterness. Once your senses adjust, you realize that flash was bursting through a cloud of papery sueded almond floral goodness the whole time. It’s the most luxurious and sophisticated coziness on the drydown. But it never loses that zest somehow, keeping its exquisite balance hours into the wear... and earning its overly fancy bottle. I close my eyes and I am in my forties, having achieved my wildest financial goals. Wrapped in the plushest of robes, I stroll down marble hallways in the plushest of slippers. I luxuriate in getting ready... brightly colored citrus aperitif in hand. The inspiration behind this fragrance is just as beautiful as the scent itself, taking the name from the famously vibrant color of Pompei red. Made from cinnabar, this hue has stood the test of millennia and is still striking as you wander the city today.

Very elegant and pretty powdery musk floral vanilla, fluffy and cozy, the sweetness is balanced by the galbanum so it's not too cloying. If you like the combination of white flowers with heliotrope and vanilla, this is a safe blind buy. Five years ago when it first came on the market, I accidentally got a sample and fell in love with it as soon as I smelled it. However, at that time it was only sold on the Italian official website and it was difficult to send it to Taiwan, so I asked a Russian seller to help me find it. It (before the war of course), that was 250 euros plus shipping. Transparent bottle with orange-yellow liquid. Then for a while, all the perfumes of this brand were out of stock, and when they became available again, the bottles and boxes had been changed and the price had increased to 300 euros. But you can find very good deals on the gray market. On Taobao web in China, it’s only 105 euros, and it’s authentic. This is crazy so I have mixed feelings now, maybe I should have waited.

I can't believe I'm smelling the same scent as the person below...there is no raspberry or blackcurrant in this. i definitely get the heliotrope and almond with ylang and woods as support. Opening is absolutely lovely and it settles down to be pretty, cosy and comforting, which is probably due to the cashmere and almond. I'd been scared off from this brand by traying castamianti which was too amber/ambroxany for me. No such note in here though. Very nice... and the ylang comes through more, with a little jasmine later in the wear.

I love this. It reminds me of Psychedelic Love somewhat, it has similar vibes and that sans yellow floral, vanilla, cashmerian feel. This is a softer feel though. I love Psychedelic Love and I love this too. This is easier wearing though. As much as I love PL I tend to have to be in the mood to wear it. But this one isn't something I could get sick of wearing that quickly. Plus the bottle and presentation are top notch. This would make a great gift for an elegant, classy or even a modern woman.

The Rossopompeiano is very beautiful and very feminine. This fragrance complex but very pleasant. There is a little green sharpness to it from the start, I think it might be patchouli. It has some earthiness to it. Powdery, soft and I would say suitable more for mature woman. I am very impressed with the fragrance and very curious to try the rest from this Agatho. This house deserves more hype.

this is delicious. when i saw that two of the main notes were heliotrope and almond i was concerned, as i considered it’d be sort of dated. to me, thid perfectly executes what heliotrope milkbath by universal flowering was attempting to achieve. luxurious, sweetness and quiet bitterness mingling. i didn’t expect to love it, but i do. also points for having an insanely cool bottle

ok, is this me or does this smell like a plastic [flip flop] shop in Chinatown in the best possible way? there's definitely something fuzzy like mimosa that i get from this, which reminds me of maison gabriella lye maisìa (?) and there's something leafy-fruity DUSTY about this which i adore, that's borderline smoky. This is one of those scents u can't imagine based on the notes.

The first time I used a sample, I ran to wash my wrists, I didn't like it but I decided to give it another try. After 3 samples of 8 ml each, I loved it and ended up buying a full size. For me, although it is not in the notes, it smells like freshly cut gardenias.

Superb! It has a beautiful balance of spicy and balsamic notes with some mysterious oriental/tropical vibes. The floral part here is quite prominent but it’s a really spicy/bittersweet sort of floral bouquet. Interesting and truly unique!

This is so incredibly unique and well blended, wow! A kompot of flowers alongside a distinct almond note that smells effervescent and feminine. Probably the highlight from the brand👌

Too much underrated. This one is better than Naxos or Pegasus for example. Very refined, pure class, sofisticated. A must try for sure. 10 out 10

Wow. Not for me, but its undeniably masterful. Opens with a puff of powder, and bitter almond and orange sandwiched between ylang ylang and woods. Tightly wound notes, and difficult to pick out any true backbone. Maybe ylang ylang? And even the musk is closely knit to the bote profile. Unusual. This does have a bubblegum-y aspect to it. Remniscient of Battito D'Ali but far more subtle and delicate and skilled. Has a very classically Italian feel go it. Good sillage and longevity. Fall, winter, spring. Somewhat feminine. Very overpriced though the quality is evident, at least in this one.

idk what is the guy below me talking about. this perfume is so light and airy to the point where its making me question these performance claims and if it is even worth buying plus its a almond milk powder soft type of smell just look at he notes .. what is that guy on about ???

It is a heavy, resinous, spicy, ambery brick of a perfume. Kinda hits you quite strongly.

This smells horrible to a new nose!!! I am not sure how to describe it but after 5 mins I had to rub it off because of its foul smell. I am sorry if this offended you but this is definitely not for me. Sorry.

musk notası bana her daim kurumuş bir ıslak mendili hatırlatıyor. çok nadiren beyaz muskla anlaşabiliyorum. bu parfümü köralış yaptım. sevmeye çalıştım. yazdan sonbahara çeşitli zamanlarda denedim ama yok bir türlü sevemedim. kuruyunca gelen o ıslak mendil kokusu çok tiksinc

This is not feminine its unisex through and through and totally unique! It does NOT smell like Pegasus or Armaf Craze nor does it smell like side effect. People are rating and writing reviews when they never even smelled the shit before

I fell airy amber mixed with almonds...little bit of some kind of flowers. Is it something spectacular?No.Is it nice for everyday?Ooo yes indeed. Official price is high but you can find it for 140-150€ and its fair price for this.

If anyone’s looking to sell this in the UK or can send to the UK please let me know. I’m christ_the_perfumer on Instagram as well if it’s easier to message on there. Thank you

Acidic redcurrant, raspberry, sandalwood, white flowers, sweet rose, vanilla and patchouli. Fruity scent on the heavier side but may be too 'pissy' or too dense for some.

I tried a tester of this one. I would never thought I would like powdery almond fragrance but it’s a masterpiece. Smells expensive.
