Rio de Janeiro. In the suburbs of the Brazilian metropolis, in the shadow of the vegetation of Tijuca National Park, the rituals of macumba take place.
Macumba is a term from the Bantu African language used to define religious practices that fuse pagan elements of African origin with influences from popular Christianity and multiple influences from Brazilian culture. Contrary to what Western culture believes, macumba is not always necessarily linked to rituals of a "negative" nature: in most of these syncretic propitiatory rites, the aim is rather to promote protection, health, prosperity, luck, and well-being.
In these paranormal rituals, animal sacrifices are also carried out to encourage the positive influences of the deities.
MANGOMACUMBA is the first reference in Spiritica's OSCURATACOLLECTION collection.
The opening of MANGOMACUMBA extrait de parfum 35 % is extremely fresh, fruity, joyful, bright, and tropical. The sweet notes of realistic, tropical mango blend with the sharper, more lemony nuances of lime and pineapple. Everything is wrapped in a touch of peppermint that, with its ozone notes, helps give a broad, oxygenating freshness from the very first spray.
A bloody, juicy heart cuts through ferrous notes and tropical flowers, directly evoking the places, the instruments used, and the sacrificial offerings made in these rituals.
Throughout its long evolution, growing darker and more ferrous, MANGOMACUMBA offers us a ritual olfactory experience that brings together darkness and light.
A very sharp contrast between the opening and the base, built on a precious tobacco absolute, blended with the darkness of very luxurious ebony essential oil and the warm, wild notes of red earth, softened by gentle, comforting milky notes.
MANGOMACUMBA is intended as an invitation to "look beyond" what has been imposed on us, a call to unite the diversity of cultures, as well as a way to discover one of the darkest and most mysterious aspects of human existence.
MANGOMACUMBA was created in collaboration with the young nose Daniele Cerroni, who crafted the fragrance step by step following the conceptual ideas of Spiritica founder Daniele Muratori Caputo.
