Al Contrario (2020 Special Edition)
Extrait de ParfumUnisex
The Story
Al Contrario is a bold, smoky leather fragrance that flips the script on traditional gourmands. The 2020 Special Edition amplifies the richness with a darker, more resinous profile. It opens with a blast of black pepper and rum, then settles into a heart of tobacco and labdanum, all resting on a base of leather and oud. This is a scent for those who love intensity and complexity.
