Pompeia

Pompeia is a vintage-style aromatic floral with herbal, woody, and earthy notes, evoking the atmosphere of old-fashioned barbershop or botanical medicine cabinets. It opens with crisp lemon, lavender, and geranium, accompanied by a subtle, medicinal patchouli, enriching the dry down with a tangy, earthy complexity. The floral heart of rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, and iris gives it a powdery vintage elegance, but the overall impression is not sweet or modern—rather retro, unisex, and deeply linear in progression. The fragrance performs modestly in longevity, with moderate sillage that leans intimate or moderate, fitting well for daytime wear, particularly in spring and summer. It carries a unique character—some perceive it as floral and opulent, others as dry, incense-like, or even slightly mothball-like at first sniff, though many report the initial off-putting notes fade with time and air exposure. Its appeal lies in its antique charm, spiritual associations, and unusual texture—similar to early Fougères or historical perfumes like Jicky, but without the vanilla or civet. It is not dramatic or overpowering, yet stands out due to its historical depth and distinct aromatic path, making it ideal for lovers of vintage fragrances and spiritual scents rather than modern or bold perfumers.
