The male counterpart to Contradiction for women. This is a light oriental fragrance. The face of the Contradiction advertising campaign is model, Justin Chambers. We like the lid on this bottle.

Contradiction for men is a decent spicy oriental. It opens with sharp herbal-citrus notes and dries down to a slightly ambery and woody base. I avoid using this in warm weather, something about it makes it a little too thick and cloying in the heat.

The name of this one really tells you everything about it.
It's between herbal and citrus and very spicey not really knowing what it is and therefore hard to stand!

I like Contradiction ( for Ladys ) on Ladys but Contradiction for Men is just a bad concept.

What's with the negative reviews? I find this scent really appealing and most of the ladies I know love the smell of this. It's not a stand-out scent. It's more of a low-key, good-boy type of fragrance. The base is my favorite in this one. Perfect for casual wear.

herbal with a touch of citrus. very different albeit not desirable. very subtle wlso a bit spicy. really this scent doesn't know what it wants to be. herbal, floral or spicy. a mess imo. i finally used the last drop on my pillowcase so i am happy. the lid stinks too.

This smells a little like Truth to me at the begining, but as it dries the spices add some definition. Of course, I don't like that definition, but whatever.
Even though I couldn't wear this myself, I could see liking it on someone else, so I can't "thumbs down" this.

As far as I can tell this is pretty unique, albeit safe. So, if you find yourself a sample it can't hurt to try it.

I am reminded by the sickening fruity powder soap smell of Paul Sebastian Design. Contradiction has a little more herbs and citrus in it which smooths out much more nicer than the abrasive Design. Unfortunately, while I like this enough, it doesn't last very long.
