Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pleats Please EDT

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.

Our Verdict - 5th Avenue NYC Vibe EDP

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

Pleats Please

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office

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.

5th Avenue NYC Vibe

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

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.
