The Story
Al Contrario is a bold, smoky leather fragrance that flips expectations on their head. The 2372 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 birch tar and tobacco, all resting on a base of labdanum and vanilla. This is a scent for those who love dark, uncompromising leathers.
