Akelarre

Akelarre by nBitor is a Oriental Spicy fragrance for women and men. Akelarre was launched in 2023. The nose behind this fragrance is Miguel Matos. Top notes are Truffle, Coffee, Dried Fruits, Cinnamon and Apple; middle notes are Metallic notes, Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Geosmin and Rose; base notes are Hyrax, Patchouli, Amber and Cedar. "Our new perfume created by Miguel Matos is inspired by one of the works of Goya‘s Las Pinturas Negras, known as El Sabbat de las Brujas de Goya, El Gran Cabrón, or, El Akelarre. It is believed that his work, El Akelarre, was a critique of the oppressive practices and persecution of the Inquisition that explores themes such as violence, intimidation, and the very tempo, aging, and death. Goya was then about 75 years old, living alone, and suffering from severe mental and physical disorders. The new perfume by nBitor is a very risky project and a very daring proposal. Even for the world of niche-artistic perfumes. As Miguel Matos explains, to represent Goya‘s work, he had to “create a really dark and almost distressing fragrance, which would evoke turbulent feelings and events, and at the same time a perfume that would transmit beauty in its grotesque form. This is a very earthy and metallic perfume with a very sensual heart, something capable of arousing very intense feelings and images. I have used many very unusual notes with the intention that the result would be extremely striking in a scent that may not be easy to wear but which harbors a lot of thought and emotions inside.” - nBitor
