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 - Double Fold For Women EDP
A budget take on Issey Miyake Pleats Please. Double Fold nails the juicy pear-and-peony signature but the dupe pushes the fruit louder up front and lets the patchouli-vanilla base thin out faster, so you get the bright opening without the original's lingering depth.

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.

Double Fold For Women

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The juicy pear and airy peony skew bright and fresh, sitting most naturally in spring and warm summer days.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Light and cheerful enough for everyday casual wear, with a sweet floral charm that works for a relaxed date but is too soft for formal settings.
