Al Contrario (2160 Special Edition)
EDPUnisex
The Story
Al Contrario is a bold, smoky leather that flips the script on traditional leather scents. The 2160 Special Edition amplifies the intensity with a richer blend of birch tar and labdanum, creating a dark, resinous aura. It opens with a burst of citrus and spices, then settles into a warm, animalic leather that lasts for hours. This is a fragrance for those who want to stand out.
