Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Jewel of Desert Extrait
This one's a bit of a gamble, mind. If you're after a lush, sweet fruit cocktail with an earthy edge, it could be your jackpot. But if patchouli rubs you up the wrong way, you might find yourself heartbroken.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Pleats Please Eau de Parfum
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.

Seasons

Also Works:

Its sweet, bold nature means it's probably a bit much for the office or very formal events. It shines brightest on dates or casual outings where its fruity, sensual character can truly take centre stage.

Pleats Please Eau de Parfum

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.
