Has Pleats Please been discontinued?+−
Yes, this fragrance is currently discontinued. While it can still be found through some discounters and secondary markets, it is no longer part of the active Issey Miyake production line.
How does this compare to the original L’eau d’Issey?+−
While both share a "clean" and "fresh" philosophy, Pleats Please is much fruitier and more floral. It lacks the sharp aquatic and lotus notes of the original, leaning instead toward a powdery, nectar-sweet profile.
Is this suitable for a professional office environment?+−
This is an excellent choice for business or daily wear. Because it has a moderate sillage and smells reminiscent of luxury soap and fresh linens, it is generally considered non-offensive and professional.
Which seasons are best for wearing Pleats Please?+−
Most users find it flourishes in the spring and summer. The bright pear and airy sweet pea notes are designed to complement sunny, warm weather.
