MANGOMACUMBA: A Ritual of Light and Darkness
MANGOMACUMBA channels the mysticism of Brazil's macumba rituals, blending the vibrant vitality of tropical fruits with the deep, ferrous undertones of sacred offerings. Inspired by the syncretic ceremonies held in the shadow of Rio de Janeiro's Tijuca National Park, this fragrance juxtaposes brightness and darkness to evoke an otherworldly olfactory journey.
Top Notes:
The scent opens with a burst of tropical exuberance: juicy mango, ripe papaya, zesty lime, and tart pineapple intertwine with the cooling freshness of mint and ozonic accords, creating an invigorating and radiant introduction.
Heart Notes:
At the core, a ferrous chord intertwines with the richness of blood, underscored by the luscious sweetness of guava and mango. Exotic tiare flower adds a floral, tropical elegance, balancing the primal and the refined.
Base Notes:
The drydown plunges into the ritualistic depths of red earth, animalic undertones, and the smoky allure of tobacco absolute. Notes of ebony wood lend a dark luxury, softened by creamy milk and the warmth of white musk, leaving a lasting impression of complexity and mystery.
MANGOMACUMBA is more than a fragrance—it’s a journey that celebrates the contrast between joy and gravity, light and shadow. A hymn to cultural diversity and the enigmatic nature of existence, this extrait de parfum invites you to transcend boundaries and embrace the unknown. Crafted in collaboration with perfumer Daniele Cerroni, MANGOMACUMBA embodies the essence of spiritual and olfactory exploration.
