Finally a great LEN ?

LEN is a brand which I have already tested several times and looked at more closely. The idea with the stories behind the creations I find very interesting and likeable. Unfortunately, the previous creations of LEN could not really convince me the reasons for this were the following: Generic fresh scent, no good durability, not multi-faceted as other brands demonstrate. Also Crystal Bomb could not convince me completely. But now I would like to come to the real reason for this review: Last Call To Ibiza

I really like Last Call To Ibiza, this green mixed with fruity notes is really a great combination. Here I can already tell you that this fragrance will be liked by all lovers of fruity scents. The fruity notes clearly go in the direction of Kirkè, but also partly in the direction of Erba Pura.

I can detect the following notes: Marijuana, raspberry, peach, coffee, passion fruit, lemon, a bit of rose and after 3-4 hours a strong musk note comes through, accompanied by patchouli, sandalwood and some caramel . I can't smell the other notes in the pyramid. As a warning though, I have to say here that perfumos who don't like marijuana notes should steer clear of this scent. There is this green, slightly fruity and sweaty note here that makes marijuana come out in fragrances.

Unfortunately though, LEN destroys this really great scent after 3-4 hours. The great and unique top note and heart note find then namely their abrupt end and sink into a very dominant musk base. I think this is really a pity, because Last Call To Ibiza would have really had the potential for a fragrance of my 10s rating, but the very strong musk note coming through too early simply prevents this.

The next point I want to make is this: I just don't understand the pricing. The "normal" LEN creations are at an RRP of 185€ and the new creations for example Last Call To Ibiza are suddenly at 240€. The fragrances are all Extrait de Parfum, even the creations for 185€. Was this simply to generate a little extra money again? The price annoys me to be honest. For 185€ I would have accepted the after 3-4 hours strong musk note still rather and also the 6-7 hours performance. I would have expected more from the performance here too. The silage is also only perceptible for 2 hours over an arm's length and after 5-6 hours already completely skin.

Last Call To Ibiza I really like, but here some potential was given away, which has pushed the fragrance for me on rating of 7. If the fragrance had an RRP of just over 100€ I would have given here even 9 points. I see by the poor implementation of the base note here simply no 240€ fragrance that has earned a 10 point rating.
