The Story
Al Contrario is a bold, smoky leather fragrance that defies expectations. The 2371 Limited Edition honors the year of the Terenzi family's ancestral home, with a rich blend of birch, tobacco, and incense. It opens with a sharp burst of pink pepper and bergamot, then settles into a warm, resinous heart. The base is a deep, animalic leather that lingers for hours.
