by Issey Miyake
Pleats Please by Issey Miyake is a distinctive, youthful floral with a bright pear opening that evolves into a sweet, fruity-peony and sweet pea heart. The fragrance features a delicate balance of white floral, patchouli, cedar, and vanilla musk, creating a soft yet radiant dry-down. Many users report moderate to long-lasting performance—up to 10 hours on skin for some—and a moderate to strong sillage, making it noticeable without overwhelming. While the opening is airy and fresh, it develops into a complex, slightly indolic floral with a gourmand sweetness that lingers warmly on the skin. Longevity varies, with some noting shorter wear and others experiencing long-lasting effects, especially on clothing. The perfume is often praised for its elegant bottle and nostalgic appeal, particularly among fans of Issey Miyake. It shines as a spring or summer fragrance, though a few users appreciate it in cooler months.
