Pleats Please Issey Miyake 2012 Eau de Toilette

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.
