Al Contrario (2163 Limited Edition)
EDPUnisex
The Story
Al Contrario is a bold, smoky leather fragrance that flips the script on traditional leather scents. The 2163 Limited Edition features a striking black bottle with gold accents, but the juice is the same: a rich blend of raspberry, saffron, and birch tar that creates a dark, sweet, and animalic experience. It's a statement scent for those who love leather with a twist.
