The Story
Al Contrario 2318 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. The base is a warm, resinous blend of labdanum and vanilla that lingers for hours. This is a fragrance for those who want to stand out.
