The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2012 by Issey Miyake, Pleats Please Eau de Parfum is a fragrance that embodies the designer's innovative spirit and attention to detail. Created by perfumer Aurélien Guichard, this floral composition opens with the delicate sweetness of peony, leading into a heart of white flowers and sweet pea. The base notes of patchouli, cedar, and vanilla add depth and warmth, creating an elegant and sophisticated scent that is both fresh and inviting.

Pleats Please EDP stands out for its vibrant floral bouquet and woody chords, making it ideal for energetic, communicative women who appreciate the joy, color, and vitality of life.

How to wear it

One or two sprays are enough to capture the essence of this fragrance. The peony top note is bright and fleeting, so it's best applied just before you need it. For lasting warmth, let the woody base notes settle in for an hour after application.
