The Story
Al Contrario 2302 Special Edition is a bold, smoky leather that flips the script on traditional leather fragrances. It opens with a blast of black pepper and saffron, then settles into a rich, animalic leather heart with hints of tobacco and labdanum. The base is a warm, resinous blend of oud, amber, and vanilla that lasts for hours. This is a fragrance for those who want to stand out.
