The Story
Al Contrario is a bold, smoky leather fragrance that flips expectations on their head. The 2328 Special Edition honors the year of the Terenzi family's ancestral home, with a richer, more concentrated blend. It opens with a blast of black pepper and saffron, then settles into a heart of leather and tobacco, all resting on a base of oud and amber. This is a scent for those who love intensity and character.
