- Flowers over greenPleats Please brings floral; La Yuqawam Femme brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
- A shared threadWoody, musky and powdery run through both.
- Opposite seasonsVoters put Pleats Please in spring and La Yuqawam Femme in winter and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
- Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Pleats Please is moderate on both, La Yuqawam Femme long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
A starting pointLa Yuqawam Femme first, then Pleats Please over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
