Issey Miyake Pleats Please 2013 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Aurélien Guichard. Pleats Please 2013 opens with Macaron and Violet, settles into a heart of Sweet Pea and Peony, 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.

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.
