Contro Corrente launched Special Me in 2015 — and it was a brilliant move. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the sweet family.
Produced in Italy, where perfumery has long been elevated to an art form. Special Me Contro Corrente unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The olfactory structure of Special Me unfolds as a continuous scent journey, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The signature of Contro Corrente is clear from the opening to the final trail. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail.
The internal accord map is built around these accords: Gourmet, Wood and Amber forming a compact and readable structure. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
In a unified mixed pyramid the opening appears as one connected movement with a resinous-sweet mood: Ambergris, Sweet Accord and Woody Accord. In this format 3 notes act as one integrated frame, creating amber depth that reads as cohesive from the start.
The inner phases are read as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which gives the structure continuity.
From the group perspective the composition is built around Ambery, Sweet and Wood. At family level the composition sits in Sweet.
Overall Special Me sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best judged in wear.
