About

Pleats Please L’Elixir opens with a creamy, heady burst of gardenia and powdery heliotrope, immediately establishing its lush floral character. As it settles, sweet pea and peony add a vibrant, feminine heart, leading into a warm, comforting dry-down of rich vanilla. Hints of cedar and patchouli anchor the sweetness, preventing it from becoming cloying, leaving a bright and subtly woody trail.
