I only use enrevesado. It implies something to be cryptic or extremely complicated; also to be unapproachable from an intellectual point of view.

Alrevesado sounds vulgar to me (in fact I'm hearing it "alrevesao"), as if something is upside-down or topsy-turvy and figuratively the speaker is trying to convey the notion of enrevesado.
