Al Contrario (2043 Anniversary Edition)
Extrait de ParfumUnisex
The Story
Al Contrario is a bold, smoky leather fragrance that defies expectations. The 2043 Anniversary Edition amplifies the original with a richer, more concentrated blend of birch tar and incense. It opens with a sharp burst of pink pepper and bergamot, then settles into a dark, resinous heart of labdanum and cade oil. The base is a deep, animalic leather with vanilla and amber, creating a scent that is both rebellious and refined.
