Which Should You Buy?
Pleats Please is a divisive little number - a playful, sweet floral that gets some people feeling like flower fairies, and others scrubbing off a cloying, 'bathroom cleanser' vibe. Definitely don't blind buy this one.
This is a cracking Lancôme Idôle dupe, offering a juicy, floral punch without the hefty price tag. Stellar performance for the money, though that patchouli-coconut base won't be for everyone. If you're after an affordable, versatile floral-fruity, you've found your match.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and often-praised "clean" aspect make it suitable for casual wear or even the office if applied sparingly. However, its potent sweetness and the strong floral-fruity character might be too casual for formal events and a bit much for active sports.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its fruity-floral and fresh profile makes it perfect for casual wear, especially in spring and summer. The solid sillage and lasting power, mentioned by many, means it might be a bit much for close-quarters office environments, but it shines on dates and relaxed outings.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Fruity, Sweet, Floral accords and Pear, Patchouli notes
