The Story
Al Contrario is a bold, smoky leather fragrance that flips the script on traditional leather scents. The 2348 Special Edition amplifies the intensity with a richer blend of birch tar and labdanum, creating a dark, resinous aura. It opens with a burst of spicy saffron and bitter orange, then settles into a warm, animalic leather that feels both rebellious and refined. This is a scent for those who want to stand out.
