The Story
Al Contrario 2282 Special Edition is a bold, smoky leather fragrance that flips the script on traditional leather scents. It opens with a burst of bright bergamot and pink pepper, then settles into a heart of saffron and iris before landing on a rich base of leather, oud, and amber. This is a confident, unisex scent that commands attention without being overwhelming.

It's quite intense, so I'd recommend it for evenings or cooler weather. It can be overwhelming in high heat.
