EDPUnisex
The Story
Al Contrario is a bold, smoky leather fragrance that turns convention on its head. The 2157 Anniversary Edition honors the brand's founding year with a richer, more concentrated blend. It opens with a blast of black pepper and saffron, then settles into a heart of leather and tobacco, all resting on a base of oud and amber. This is a scent for those who dare to be different.
