Al Contrario (Limited Edition)
Extrait de ParfumUnisex
The Story
Al Contrario is a bold, smoky leather that flips the script on traditional gourmands. It opens with a blast of black pepper and rum, then settles into a rich heart of tobacco and iris. The base is a deep, animalic leather with labdanum and vanilla, creating a scent that's both rebellious and refined. This limited edition extrait is a collector's piece for those who love dark, complex fragrances.
