The Story
Al Contrario is a bold, smoky leather fragrance that flips expectations on their head. The 2245 Special Edition amplifies the original with a deeper, more intense blend of birch tar and tobacco. It opens with a burst of spicy saffron and bitter orange, then settles into a rich, animalic leather heart. The base is a warm, resinous mix of labdanum and vanilla that lingers for hours.
