Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Built on floral, white floral and woody - a composition that sits best in spring, summer and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its blend of freshness and depth makes it versatile; it's gentle enough for daily wear and office environments, yet distinctive for dates. While generally appealing, its noticeable floral presence might be too specific for some formal events, and it's certainly not suited for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opening with a bright, delicate burst of peony, Pleats Please quickly settles into a rich, sweet floral heart of sweet pea and jasmine that's anything but sharp. There's a noticeable warmth, avoiding any cloying sweetness, thanks to a subtle woody base of cedar and a hint of vanilla. The patchouli is expertly blended, adding a modern, earthy depth without being overpowering, giving the whole composition a surprising vintage-modern twist.
