Before Pleats Please leaves my house, I would like to dedicate a few lines to it.... I personally enjoy light fragrances with rather low sillage. Japanese scents are quite suitable for this; I have a bit of Masaki Matsushima in my collection, and I also like many things from Kenzo very much. But to conclude that all Japanese scents are airy-light can turn out to be a fallacy. With "A Scent," I already had a mishap (Wow, what a hyacinth bomb), and "Pleats Please" was my second disappointment.
I know Nashi pear from Suu by M. Matsushima; I believe there is also Nashi in other fragrances from this brand. I like it very much. Peony is also lovely - nice and light and fragrant. White musk is okay as long as it is not animalistic. The musk in the Matsushimas is fragrant-transparent, so I had no concerns there, and cedar always works well on me. Regarding patchouli and vanilla, I just wanted to be surprised by how they smell on me. That left the sweet pea....
Well, none of the notes I mentioned above could I really recognize, apart from a pretty, fresh opening with a bit of Nashi pear. If I had discovered it earlier in the store, I would have immediately fallen into the buying trap without waiting for the fragrance development. What would later turn out to be a mistake. It’s not that I don’t like the scent. On the skin, it develops a pleasantly natural floral quality; however, I can neither detect white musk nor cedar on my skin. Especially with the cedar, this is strange, as my skin usually amplifies all woody notes extremely. I can usually detect white musk even in homeopathic amounts. I also can’t smell anything of the peony at all. The immense floral quality, which becomes increasingly suffocating over time, must be the sweet pea. Don’t sweet peas in nature overgrow everything? It’s the same with the scent. It becomes increasingly stuffy, oppressive; the clothes smell the next day as if they had been soaked in the fragrance. You can only wash it away; airing out does nothing here. So there’s not much of that Asian restraint. If you can’t already guess - patchouli and vanilla also had no chance against the monster sweet pea. By the way, it’s not fruity-sweet on me, just floral.
The fragrance would really be quite charming if it weren’t so intense, almost intrusive. What a shame. I hope my successor has better luck with it....
