Macomba by Hermetica is a Aromatic Fruity fragrance for women and men. Macomba was launched in 2022. The nose behind this fragrance is Philippe Paparella-Paris. Top notes are Kaffir Lime, Neroli and Angelica; middle notes are Mate and Green Accord; base note is Vetiver. A fragrance reminiscent of a morning ritual. It translates the invigorating dimension of mate tea by combining green notes with a combava accord wrapped in a luminous neroli. It is a joyful scent that gives you the charge to face the day. A vegetable fragrance where the essence of mate blends harmoniously with the bitter facets of angelica root, which, beyond its green notes, is known in aromatherapy for its relaxing properties. The combava awakens mate tea with its fresh facets.
