Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Contradiction start with eucalyptus?
The eucalyptus opening creates the 'contradiction'—a fresh, almost medicinal note that contrasts sharply with the romantic florals that follow, embodying the fragrance's theme of duality.
How does Contradiction age throughout the day?
The eucalyptus and peony fade gradually, revealing more of the floral heart and woody base. By the drydown, the fragrance becomes increasingly sensual and woody.
Is Contradiction suitable for sensitive noses?
The eucalyptus opening might feel sharp to sensitive noses, but it fades quickly. If you enjoy floral fragrances generally, you'll likely appreciate Contradiction.
