Pleats Please L'Eau

Issey Miyake created the “Pleats Please” collection in 1989. This collection emphasizes comfort in dress. It represents a line of pleated clothing, which would become emblematic for the Japanese designer. In tribute to this collection, Issey Miyake introduced an ultra joyful feminine fragrance of the same name, “Pleats Please”. Given its success, the house unveiled in 2014 “Pleats Please, l’Eau”, a remarkable green floral variation.

A tribute to pleated clothing

Issey Miyake restored pleated clothing to prominence, at a time when it had fallen out of favor. Made modern and airy, pleating became the star of Issey Miyake's collections. The “Pleats Please” collection created in 1989 was a genuine success, and Issey Miyake wished to translate it olfactorily. This is what he did in 2013 with the fragrance of the same name, “Pleats Please”. In 2014, the Japanese designer presented a lighter, airier variation with “Pleats Please l’Eau”. This one is aimed at joyful, beautiful and charming women who are noticed for their natural beauty. “Pleats Please l’Eau” depicts the freshness of early spring, the one eagerly awaited.

Pleats Please l’Eau, fresh and luminous notes

It is perfumer Aurélien Guichard who is behind this green floral composition. He designed this fragrance around the concept of weightless freshness, resulting in a delicate balance among all the notes. “Pleats Please l’Eau” opens on notes of sweetbriar and rose berries, which lend the composition a lovely femininity. The heart evolves toward an encounter between the luminosity of neroli and the green buds of a rose not yet in bloom. The heart thus announces the start of spring. The base is meant to be sensual, blending patchouli, cedar and white musks. As for the bottle, it echoes the shape and lines of its predecessor. With its multiple facets, it continues to reflect the pleated clothing collection so dear to Issey Miyake. This time, the color of the juice is pale green, evoking the springtime freshness of this exceptional fragrance.

A year after the success of “Pleats Please”, Issey Miyake introduced a green floral variation, “Pleats Please l’Eau”. Soft and delightful like the arrival of spring, l’Eau Pleats Please brings a very particular freshness, half floral, half green. “Pleats Please l’Eau” is aimed at joyful women who radiate the joy of living… A true fragrance of happiness.
