Pleats Please

I fell head over heels for this fragrance after receiving a sample. It's as if the scent was tailor-made for me, incorporating all my favorite notes. Upon testing it multiple times to gauge its sillage and longevity, I was blown away by the impressive performance of this eau de toilette – it's one of the best I've encountered in years. The opening is airy, fresh, and sugary, with no artificial undertones detectable on my skin. My partner also seems to appreciate the scent. I'm not typically a fan of perfume, but this delightful fragrance has won me over. I believe that age shouldn't be a factor when it comes to enjoying perfume – if you love the scent, wear it! In comparison, Just Cavalli and Elie Saab don't share the same characteristics; for instance, neither contains sweet pea, which is immediately apparent in this unique fragrance.

Here is the rewritten comment in a communication speaking tone with emojis: There's a single perfume store in my big city that still has a tester of Pleats Please, located in a small, otherwise boring mall. For months, I'd always try that tester when I was in the area and wasn't sure if I should buy a bottle 🤔. During the lockdown, I finally gave in and ordered it online for a super cheap price 💸. And wow, I was surprised to find out that the new bottle smelled better than the tester, fresher and less sharp! 🔥 Every perfume should be stored in a cold and dark area, but this maybe even more so 🤫. Pleats Please is a very wearable, yet not boring fruity floral 💐. It's a more refined take on the pink sweet pea scent that's usually found in body sprays and drug store products 👀. The nashi pear in the opening is so juicy, dewy, and refreshing, almost citrusy 🍊! It's one of my favorite fruits in real life and really well-done in this perfume 😊. The indole note might sound scary to some, but in my opinion, it's not very indolic 💸. It has white floral aspects similar to a sharp orange blossom and jasmine, but nothing really dirty 🙅‍♀️. The base is a sweet doll-skin vanilla with some fresh and clean patchouli and musk to ground the fragrance 🌼. This perfume is so fluffy with just the right amount of tart notes to cut through it and make it even better 💯! I think it's perfect for spring, but it could be worn year round ☀️.

Yes, the indolic notes are quite prominent indeed. However, that's not the primary issue at hand. I rarely get headaches from perfumes, and I've always thought it was an exaggeration. Well... It isn't. Bang, the heaviest, sweetest, biggest, rudest pear ever explodes! Boom, poisonous peony takes over! Boom, suffocating musk engulfs me! Honestly, it was a terrible experience. This scent is extremely thick, and it's an EDT! In one word, I can describe it as: very inharmonious.

I recently had the chance to try this perfume, which brought back memories of Kenzo's floral scent. It bears a striking resemblance to Issey Miyake's "Miss Dior" in its profile, and I could see it appealing to women in their 20-25 age range. The longevity is moderate, lasting around three hours on EDT, but the sweet and clean fragrance makes it suitable for everyday wear during spring and summer. While I appreciate its loveliness, unfortunately, it doesn't quite resonate with my personal taste preferences.

This perfume offers a pleasant, uncomplicated scent with subtle notes of sweetness, along with impressive staying power and a decent amount of projection.
