LEN Fragrance

When the desire to leave a mark in perfumery meets the corresponding opportunities, brands like LEN Fragrance appear. An art collector, a publisher with journalistic experience, and the daughter of a diplomat, Elena von Olnhausen brought together the famous designer Thierry de Bachmakoff and equally famous perfumers Michel Almairac and Mark Buxton in her project to retell a personal story in the language of aromas.

I would like to visit the same beautiful places and find myself in the same exciting situations as the ideological inspirer of LEN Fragrance, but it is impossible to live someone else's life, so my attention is paid to smells.

The most beautiful of LEN is She&Male. A drawing of blue and yellow irises on the dusty glass of a pastry shop window. If you come close and press your nose against it like in childhood, through the curls and vignettes of Art Nouveau, you can see mountains of creamy toffee and marzipan in golden wrappers, chocolate bunnies and handmade candies on lacy napkins. You can even remember their melting sweetness on your tongue. But if you move away a little, you can again see only dried raindrops on the glass and a faded iris pattern. A very French scent.

LEN Just Roulette — I liked it the most when I first got to know the brand, and I still like it. It really draws attention to itself with a bright note of smoked tea, fatty prunes, gunpowder, cold metal and resin. Like a sepia-toned photograph, Just Roulette sounds a little muffled, but smooth and does not weaken at all over time. In the Russian brochure of the brand, it is classified as a men's fragrance, which is completely unfair, of course.

Privarot LEN Fragrance is a bridal bouquet from an American movie. A magnificent ceremony in a May garden amidst a tornado of white petals, tulle and lace. Traditional orange blossom in hands and much less innocent tuberose woven into golden curls. The champagne has warmed up, the apple marshmallow sticks to the fingers, but everyone is drunk and cheerful, and the mothers have tears in their eyes. Privarot is one of the most delicate white flower bouquets. A truly bridal scent.

Last Call to IBIZA and Macao by LEN are more expensive and concentrated than other fragrances. IBIZA smells like a beach party, dancing in the surf and the relaxing smoke of weak weed. At the beach bar, cocktails with white rum and sweet syrups, colorful umbrellas, pineapple and peach pieces flow like water, and like everything Mark Buxton does, Last Call to IBIZA contains madness extract and indifference essential oil.

Having tried 27 in Macao, Paolo Terenzi would have eaten his hat. It’s all the way he likes it: a combination of the incompatible, a storm and stress. A flow of coffee cocktail with vanilla syrup that sweeps away everything in its path, a powdery hurricane and modern woody-amber materials with a week-long durability are aggravated by blackened leather, green peach jam, musk and fiery ginger. I think this is a super mega-giga hit in Italy.

It is immediately felt that Crystal Bomb is dedicated to Dubai. In the Middle East, they love fragrances with various leather, vanilla and oud, not surprising, well-known from the shelves of Tom Ford, but pleasing with brightness and durability.

Try to follow me LEN — a fresh masculine vulgaris without pronounced features. Reminded me of the darkness of everything, headed by Green Irish Tweed and Jazz YSL recent releases. Only not with apple cider, but with ginger lemonade. For those who want the usual, but more expensive.

Jeux Dangereux is still popular with Russian women Chanel Chance. A very tenacious profile in perfumery, because it invariably lifts the mood. Green peaches, cherry plum, patchouli and a little hairspray. Nostalgia for the hot beginning of the 2000s.
