Brand: Contrapposto

This scent brings together earth, air, fire, and water in an evocative composition inspired by a candlelit night by the sea. Created by perfumer Shyamala Maisondieu, it begins with the citrusy resin of elemi, balsamic davana, and bright pink peppercorn before revealing its most unusual note: Choya Nakh; a rare Indian attar of wild roasted seashells with smoky, ambery, and mineral facets. 

Saffron, green muguet, and dewy rose petals soften the heart before earthy Akigalawood and Somali olibanum bring the warmth of woods and incense. Ambergris provides the final counterpoint, leaving behind a musky, marine trace that lingers with a sensual warmth.
