Al Contrario (2251 Flanker)
EDPUnisex
The Story
Al Contrario is a bold, leathery interpretation of the original 2251, flipping the script with a darker, more animalic character. It opens with a blast of smoky birch and saffron, then settles into a rich heart of leather and labdanum. The base is a warm, resinous blend of vanilla and oud that lingers for hours. This is a fragrance for those who love intensity and aren't afraid to stand out.
