Built around the myth of Contrabando, a half real, half imagined ghost town in West Texas. Fresh, vivid, and dry as sunbaked earth until the first rain breaks through. Bright citrus, green pulse, mineral air, then a warm slide into cedar and worn leather. A scent that sits right between legend and memory.

About the perfumer: Caroline Sabas
Raised in Grasse with fields of rose, jasmine, lavender, and mimosa drifting through her windows. Trained her nose in her father’s lab and later at ISIPCA in Versailles. She builds fragrances from pure emotion, full of honesty and texture. Her take on Contrabando: desert rain hitting hot sand, lemon bright, eucalyptus sharp, everything coming alive again.
A clean green spark with a warm leather finish. Rugged but refined.
