Pleats Please Eau de Toilette vs La Charmante Eclatant Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
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 seriously potent, jammy rose beast, a love-it-or-hate-it scent that commands attention. Expect a powerful fruity-floral explosion that leans distinctly feminine, offering incredible value for its impressive longevity and sillage.

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
A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.
Occasions
Its exceptional longevity and strong projection make it less suitable for office environments where subtlety is preferred. However, its feminine, intoxicating aroma is perfect for dates and evening events, and versatile enough for casual wear if applied lightly.
