Maracuja Brasil
Brazilian indie scents built around tropical fruit.
Maracuja Brasil was founded in 2000 by a pair of Brazilian chemists whose initial business was bath and body — soaps, foaming products, salts, and moisturisers built around the tropical ingredient their name announces. Maracujá is the Brazilian passion fruit, tart, green, and bracingly tropical, and it anchored the brand's identity from the outset. The first fragrances followed in 2005, extending the tropical-ingredient logic into eau de parfum territory. The perfume range expanded significantly from 2019, when the brand began commissioning Symrise perfumer Samuel Moraes for new compositions. Moraes became the first Brazilian perfumer nominated at the Art and Olfaction Awards, with his independent creation Amyi VIII recognised in that category. His work for Maracuja Brasil brings genuine technical ambition to a house that might otherwise sit comfortably in the functional cosmetics sector. Distributed primarily through Maracuja's own domestic retail channels and direct-to-consumer online store, the brand operates within the Brazilian accessible market. By 2025 the collection numbered twenty-seven fragrances, including a Summer line of four new compositions — evidence of a house that has grown steadily without departing from the warm, Brazilian-fruit-led identity that defines it.
DNA over time
Each column is an era. Each colored band shows that family’s share of accord weight across every perfume the house released in that window. Bigger band = the house leaned harder on that family.
