Giardino di Ercole, Agatho Parfum, Pompeii Collection

Giardino di Ercole by Agatho is named after the Garden of Hercules in Pompeii, an ancient area where flowers were once grown for wreaths and scented oils. Agatho takes up this idea of a scented garden and understands the composition as an homage to the legendary ancient perfumer Agatho, who gave the brand its name. The Extrait de Parfum is presented in a silk-lined wooden box with a handcrafted porcelain lid in the Italian tradition.

What does Giardino di Ercole smell like?
Giardino di Ercole opens aromatically and slightly tart with bergamot, lavender, rhubarb, and juniper berry. In the heart, the fragrance becomes spicy and smoky, with frankincense, saffron, black pepper, clary sage, and allspice. The base is dry-woody, with Virginia cedar, styrax, and cashmeran.

When is Giardino di Ercole most suitable?
Giardino di Ercole is best suited for autumn and winter, as well as evenings. It is suitable for the office, special occasions, and moments when a distinctive, slightly smoky scent is desired, and works well as a standalone signature scent. On hot summer days, the spicy-smoky orientation can feel quite present.

What makes Giardino di Ercole special?
The combination of an aromatic, fresh opening and a dry-spicy smoke from frankincense and styrax is special. Giardino di Ercole is one of the most famous fragrances in the Pompeii Collection and, as an Extrait de Parfum, remains concentrated and close to the skin without being loud. Additionally, the handcrafted presentation with a porcelain lid makes it a collector's item.

Note: The porcelain lids are handmade. Color and finish may therefore vary slightly. Each piece is unique.
