Al Contrario (2030 Special Edition)
Extrait de ParfumUnisex
The Story
Al Contrario is a bold, smoky leather fragrance that defies expectations. The 2030 Special Edition amplifies the original with a richer, more concentrated blend of dark leather, incense, and spices. It opens with a burst of black pepper and saffron, then settles into a warm, resinous heart of labdanum and birch tar. The base is a deep, animalic mix of leather, oud, and musk that lasts for days.
