Which Should You Buy?

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.

Our Verdict - Elle Anniversary Parfum
This perfume is a divisive one. While some users describe it as 'beautiful' and 'stunning,' many feel it's 'nothing special' and a 'rip-off' due to its high price and poor performance. The gorgeous bottle is often cited as its main selling point, with the scent itself failing to justify the cost.

Season and Occasion Fit

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.

Elle Anniversary Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its low sillage and weak longevity make it suitable for office wear where subtlety is key. The fruity, clean profile lends itself well to casual settings, though its lack of presence might make it less impactful for dates or formal events.
