EDPUnisex
The Story
Al Contrario is a bold, smoky leather fragrance that flips the script on traditional leather scents. The 2177 Anniversary Edition honors the year of the Terenzi family's ancestral castle, with a richer, more concentrated formula. It opens with a blast of black pepper and saffron, then settles into a heart of birch and cade, with a base of labdanum and vanilla that adds a surprising sweetness. This is a leather scent for those who like their edges rough but their finish smooth.
