Al Contrario (2208 Limited Edition)
EDPUnisex
The Story
Al Contrario is a bold, smoky leather fragrance that defies expectations. The 2208 Limited Edition amplifies the original with a richer, more intense blend of dark leather, incense, and spices. It opens with a burst of black pepper and saffron, then settles into a warm, resinous heart of labdanum and birch tar. The base is a deep, animalic mix of leather, oud, and musk that lasts for hours.
