EDPUnisex
The Story
Al Contrario is a bold, smoky leather fragrance that flips expectations on their head. The 2144 Special Edition honors the year of the brand's founding with a richer, more concentrated blend. It opens with a blast of black pepper and saffron, then settles into a heart of birch tar and labdanum, resting on a base of leather and oud. This is a scent for those who love intensity and character.
