About This Perfume
Think powdery violet and peony petals: that is Issey Miyake Pleats Please Eau de Parfum 2013. It opens with violet, moves into peony and sweet pea and settles on cedarwood, patchouli and vanilla. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is a daytime scent. A good pick for date nights. Released in 2013.
Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something floral and powdery for date nights.
- Sample first if: floral is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike sweet fragrances.
Around $16.

A closer look at the picks
Issey Miyake A Drop d'Issey (Eau de Parfum, 2021) comes across as creamy rose and almond milk with soft powder; the notes run from almond milk and Damask rose to Ambrox, musk and Atlas cedar. Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme (1994) reads as clean citrus water, woody spice, amber warmth, opening on yuzu and mandarin orange and drying down to sandalwood, vetiver and amber. Issey Miyake Le Sel D'Issey Eau de Parfum (Eau de Parfum, 2025) smells of salty sea air, green algae, incense smoke, with Salt and seaweed up top and cedarwood and amber underneath.
