Al Contrario (2311 Anniversary Edition)
EDPUnisex
The Story
Al Contrario is a bold, smoky leather fragrance that flips the script on traditional gourmands. The 2311 Anniversary Edition celebrates the brand's founding year with a richer, more concentrated blend. It opens with a burst of black pepper and rum, then settles into a heart of tobacco and iris, all resting on a base of leather, oud, and vanilla. This is a scent for those who love dark, complex, and uncompromising perfumes.
