Contre Culture

Contre Culture by Fakoshima is a Chypre fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Contre Culture was launched in 2025. Contre Culture was created by Yaroslav Simonov and Konstantin Shilyaev. Top notes are Mezcal, Metallic notes, Chili Pepper, Citron and Pepper; middle notes are Rose, Pomegranate, Leather and Hyrax; base notes are Sandalwood, Iris, gunpowder and Guaiac Wood. Contre Culture by Fakoshima is a neo-chypre composition that combines a slightly smoky note of mezcal with a sour-spicy accord of Bengali pepper, vegetable sangrita, citron, and metallic notes. These elements rest on a dense smoky-leathery base of gunpowder, resinous guaiac, and mineral hyrax. The tartness of pomegranate, the tannin of centifolia rose, and the softness of sandalwood, balanced by iris oil, add additional depth to the composition.
