EDPUnisex
The Story
Al Contrario is a bold, smoky leather that flips the script on traditional leather fragrances. The 2285 Limited Edition amplifies the intensity with a richer concentration of birch tar and cade oil. It opens with a blast of smoky birch and spicy pink pepper, then settles into a warm, resinous heart of labdanum and styrax. The base is a deep, animalic leather with a touch of vanilla for unexpected sweetness.
