Christmas Fantasy

Today I discovered the beautifully pleated bottle Pleats Please and treated myself to a spray.

Mmm - a soft, flowing scent reached me, bringing back the memory of my first beautiful pleated dress, in muted pink, that my parents had gifted me.

I was supposed to perform a Christmas fantasy at our school Christmas party - I’ve forgotten what it was - and for this event, the dress was put to use.
All the parents, all the teachers, the principal, and many students sat eagerly in the audience.
And on stage, "my" piano, on which I had already faced many exams.
It was like an old, loyal friend.

This tingling, excited anticipation was rekindled in me by Pleats.
The delicious Nashi makes me crave more - sweet pea and peony greet each other, and patchouli and cedar provide a sonorous tone - like that of my piano.
The scent sparkles through the air, like the notes of the Christmas fantasy.
Sweet, buoyant, and ethereal.

I will pass the time until the next Christmas party with Pleats - even if the dress no longer fits - the music and the memories are everlasting.

quirky!

This fragrance develops for me like a colorful fireworks display of good mood. When I wear it, I immediately feel ready for all kinds of mischief. I find it very fresh, cheerful, and youthful. It’s simply different and very quirky. Definitely not for everyone. But I am in love with this scent! It’s something truly special!

An Extraordinary Treasure

Years ago, I had this fragrance as a sample and never forgot it because it had something truly special. I only remember that I used up the entire sample and was very sad when it was empty. Since then, it had somehow been on my wish list without urgency.
Now, I finally have it in full bottle size through a swap, and I now remember why I could never really forget it!!
Flowers & fruits in perfect harmony!
Yet it is also herbaceous and fresh with a hint of sweetness.
It is truly a treasure, a daily companion, and very underrated in my opinion. I knowingly have not smelled it on anyone I met.
The bottle is simply fun and very cleverly designed. Here too, it is very unusual. This faceted glass fits so well in the hand,
that you don’t want to put it down...a real hand charmer!
It is simply an all-around cheerful, colorful, sparkling fragrance with Japan vibes that can bring a smile to my face even in gloomy spring weather :)

Fruit of the Mainstream

It’s Sunday, I’m tired yet in a friendly mood and relaxed. I dig out a sample and spray this charming little thing called "Pleats Please" on, assuming the scent can’t harm me. Far from it. Instead of a fresh, light Eau de Toilette note, the sweet fruitiness of this fragrance almost brings me to my knees. The first association is terrible. I examine the notes that are supposedly here to greet me kindly and find neither pear, no sweet pea (what does that actually smell like) nor indole and peony. No trace of patchouli, musk, or even cedar (really not). Vanilla, yes. But plenty of neroli, neroli, neroli. This fragrance note that is said to bring happiness.
Orange groves and tangerine at their sweetest, most sugary kind. A hint of Lancome Eau de L´Orangerie. Only, Lancome transports me directly to Italy and happiness.
Pleats Please - I want to say to you: Please, please leave my skin. Especially since you then settle with a scent that reminds me of pencils. Of sweet mainstream fragrances that you smell everywhere in the garish shopping malls of this world. No freshness in the background to sweeten my Sunday (today is Valentine’s Day!). No, thank you. With all due sincerity towards olfactory experiences.
Pleats Please can now be washed off and leaves my universe. Fail!

sweet little fruit

Peats Please opens with the Nashi pear, fruity-fresh and sweet at the same time. After about ten minutes, it becomes noticeably more floral. What remains is a warm, soft, and yet fresh scent.
I really like the bottle. It reminds me of a cool ice sculpture, whose hardness is softened by the pleated flower, adapting to the fragrance. The color and the lettering of the Eau de Toilette reflect the fruity freshness.
The longevity is quite decent for an Eau de Toilette. I don't find the sillage to be very strong, which might be a good thing in summer.
Strangely, it reminds me of the limited edition Bouquet by Givenchy, although that one is much more floral and has different notes... I probably lack the fragrance education to explain this... but I might still get there.
For lovers of traditional scents, it might be too shallow or synthetic. For girls and women who love a freshly showered feeling, it is definitely a nice fragrance.
I am curious to see how it will hold up in the world of fragrances ;)
It will sweeten my summer 2013 :) So out with the pleated skirt ;)
