Sileno

This is the fourth Agatho I’ve sampled and, compared to the others, it’s a bit of an outlier in that it’s more subtle and familiar, which is possibly why it doesn’t score as high as I would expect. The other Agatho’s I’ve tried are quite artistic and unique but this is something you’ll have probably smelt before. It reminds me of a cross between Erolfa and Osaito. It has a fresh aquatic nature with slight spicy, woody and florals facets. Firstly, here are the notes as they’re not listed above: Top Notes Citrus Notes, Fresh Green Notes, Blackcurrant, Orange blossom Heart Notes: Sishuan Pepper, Ylang Ylang, Mediterranean Scrub Accord Basic Notes: Seaweed Absolute, Ginger Root, Precious Woods, Cedar Wood It’s fresh with citrus and green notes up top, before the floral aspects come through, which stay fairly evident throughout, all underpinned with a spicy, woody, aquatic base, a touch of creaminess and a hint of salt from the seaweed but nothing more than a slight hint. As it dries down the woods become slightly more prominent but it’s the subtle background salt and creaminess that I particularly like in this which sets it’s slightly apart from other fragrances of this nature. It’s an uplifting, happy scent for sure and would work a treat during the daytime in a hot destination on vacation. Personally, I like this kind of fragrance signature but others might be put off by the fact that it’s much more mainstream, compared to their other offerings I’ve sampled, and it could be seen as playing it too safe. If you’ve smelt Erolfa or Osaito then you’ll know the type of fragrance this is. I prefer this style of aquatic, rather than trying to be too avant garde with some sea urchin or algae accord or the like but many would expect a niche fragrance like this to be more daring. In some ways, I do think they could have made this a little more unique perhaps, in line with some of their other creations, whilst still keeping with the overall feel. However, I haven’t tried it for long so perhaps I’ll pick up additional nuances that aren’t immediately apparent on the first wear. I do particularly like this house though and their offerings and I really quite like this too. Unisex, leaning feminine, depending how you feel about florals. It has good longevity, especially on clothes, and better than the other fragrances I’ve mentioned with a moderate silage which is somewhat subdued but still presents a noticeable scent bubble. Cost is an issue though, it’s very expensive for what it is and most, I would image, will expect something more unique or powerful from a fragrance at this price point. As always with Agatho, the presentation is stunning.

Agatho is an under the radar house. I have enjoyed all of the ones I have tried. This one is m favorite so far. The notes are not listed on Fragrantica but here they are: Top: Laurel Saffron Myrtle Middle: Jasmine, Rose, Honey Base: Frankincense White Musc, Vanilla, Amber. Labdanum, Oud,Frankincense The mix of Vanilla, Oud, Amber, Jasmine, Frankincense and Laurel all work well together> there is nothing radical or all that new but it does have a kick (as do other Agathos) and I quite enjoy this as a winter Holiday scent. The price, however is too high (about $310.00) to justify a full bottle for me. I am glad I have tried it and maybe they will sell travel sizes at some point.

Nice perfume but nothing special it smells like L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme

Idk why the low rating, probably due the price..

Green leafy, woody spicy aquatic blend. - It starts with citrus and bitter green leaves, moist, lightly salty, and verdant, like walking along a hidden path, parting tall shrubs to reach the seaside, where the ocean stretches endlessly into the depths. 🏝 After 10 minutes, this deep scent gradually lightens, revealing shimmering shades of emerald; hints of pepper and ginger emerge like sunlight, diminishing the dampness. Spiciness intertwines with greenery, reminiscent of the scent of grass and soil at the shoreline. This aromatic spicy sensation peaks around 1-1.5 hours; it gradually fades after 2.5 hours, leaving a subtle spiciness overall. Subsequently, floral notes become increasingly prominent, accompanied by an intriguing salty seaweed nuance, mixed with cedar and ylang-ylang, lending a hint of salty creaminess. By the 5-hour mark, what remains is a clean woody white floral scent, somewhat akin to Rossopompeiano from the same brand, with even lower projection, if not lower 😅 🏝 The character exudes an aura of wearing a loose white short-sleeved shirt, the wind causing it to billow behind him. He carries the scent of freshly bathed soap, with his hair still slightly damp, walking along a green bush-lined shoreline, bathed in just the right amount of sunlight, with dry sand and a faint salty tang in the air. It creates a fresh yet subtly mysterious atmosphere, suitable for spring and summer. It's worth noting that due to the salty aspect, it might feel a bit stuffy on some people's skin. ——.——.——.——.—— Scent 7/10 (Fragrance may vary based on personal preferences and experiences) Longevity 6/10 Sillage 4.5/10 Instagram:@desireandmemory_cabinet
