Pleats Please 2013

by Aurélien Guichard

Issey Miyake Pleats Please 2013 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Aurélien Guichard. Pleats Please 2013 opens with Violet and Macaron, settles into a heart of Peony and Sweet Pea, and dries down to a base of Patchouli and Vanilla. Issey Miyake's Pleats Please 2013 carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a divisive violet beast - you'll either love its intensely sweet, powdery charm or find it a bit too much, like a 'grape soda' with an odd, almost plastic edge. Best described as a 'mischievous violet', it’s definitely not a blind buy.

Given its strong sillage and very sweet, prominent notes, this scent isn't ideal for office wear where subtlety is key. It's much better suited for dates or casual outings where its unique character can shine without overwhelming those around you.

About

Pleats Please EDP kicks off with a bold, sweet violet, softened by a powdery macaron note that some perceive as almondy or grape-like. The heart unfolds into a plush bouquet of sweet pea and peony, adding a juicy, almost candy-like floralcy. The drydown grounds this vibrant sweetness with a subtle earthiness from patchouli and a creamy warmth from vanilla, creating a surprisingly deep and rich finish.
