Al Contrario (2294 Special Edition)
EDPUnisex
The Story
Al Contrario is a bold, smoky leather fragrance that flips the script on traditional leather scents. The 2294 Special Edition amplifies the intensity with a richer blend of birch tar and labdanum. It opens with a sharp burst of pink pepper and bergamot, then settles into a dark, resinous heart of leather and styrax. The base is a warm, animalic mix of musk and vanilla that lingers for hours.
