Based on Pleats Please, Issey Miyake’s ready-to-wear creations launched in 1993. Pleats Please Eau de Toilette embraces the freedom, color and movement that have made the Pleats Please line so beloved by women around the world. Perfumer Aurélien Guichard captured the joyous, light-hearted character of Pleats Please by composing a bright and cheerful bouquet.
Pleats Please opens with an aroma of nashi, a hybrid fruit that oscillates between pear and apple. The middle notes of fresh peony and sweet pea adds a graceful sensuality. Indole, a somewhat heavy, sweet and multi-dimensional compound, adds a fleshly, voluptuous touch and “gives substance to the note […] an invitation to fluidity,†explains Aurélien Guichard. The fragrance is anchored by notes of cedar, patchouli, white vanilla and musks. The finish is a beautifully balanced sweet floral. This Eau de Toilette composition is longer lasting than others I have tried in the past. I think Pleats Please works for the sophisticated college graduate transitioning to Working Girl, as well as the flirty gal about town who likes a little playfulness.
Here is a quick tip I use: To get a longer lasting wear from any fragrance I layer the perfume with the body lotion. For all day wear, I apply the perfume on freshly showered and towel dried skin before any other body product. Then apply I second layer of fragrance after I have applied all other body care products.
