Minimalism Meets Chaos. A floral in a steel dress.

At the end of the ‘90s, Contradiction was the apex of cool — all silver packaging and glassy restraint.
Inside? A lush, tangled white bouquet trapped in concrete geometry.

The formula is a maze of florals and musks:
Hedione, Hydroxycitronellal, Jasmonal, Lilial, Lyral, and Cyclamen Aldehyde build a synthetic floral storm, iced with Helional and Dihydromyrcenol.
But the contrast lies deeper:
Sandalore, Iso E Super, Galaxolide, and Majantol sculpt the clean, woody frame — like skyscrapers around a hidden garden.

🩶 Contradiction is tension.
Between natural and synthetic.
Between soft and sharp.
Between the memory of a flower… and its echo in steel.

✅ A cult 90s signature, reborn
