At the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, in the forests of the Tijuca National Park, macumba rituals take place. Macumba, from the African Bantu language, is the umbrella term for religious practices blending pagan elements, folk Catholicism and influences from Brazilian culture. The rites promote protection, health, prosperity and luck.
The opening of Mangomacumba explodes with fruity notes of tropical mango and pineapple, punctuated by lime. Peppermint breathes air into the sweetness, before tiare flower and iron assert themselves, referring to the places, tools and the sacrificial offerings involved in macumba rituals. Tobacco absolute, earthy woods and lactonic notes hum through the dry down.
Mangomacumba is an invitation to look beyond what has been imposed on us, as well as a way to get to know one of the most mysterious sides of human existence.
