The Story
Why it exists.
Yes, Please emerged from Pekji’s Reset collection as the third phase, a scent that translates the brand’s idea of an “emotional layer to consciousness” into olfactory form. In 2021, perfumer Ömer Ipekçi blended pink grapefruit, juicy pear and Sichuan pepper to capture a kaleidoscopic sherbet, then layered rose and iris for a floral heart, finishing with vanilla and incense that anchor the composition. The bottle’s fluffy‑prickly lace design mirrors the exaggerated cotton‑candy texture the fragrance promises.

The Beginning
Yes, Please emerged from Pekji’s Reset collection as the third phase, a scent that translates the brand’s idea of an “emotional layer to consciousness” into olfactory form. In 2021, perfumer Ömer Ipekçi blended pink grapefruit, juicy pear and Sichuan pepper to capture a kaleidoscopic sherbet, then layered rose and iris for a floral heart, finishing with vanilla and incense that anchor the composition. The bottle’s fluffy‑prickly lace design mirrors the exaggerated cotton‑candy texture the fragrance promises.
The juxtaposition of bright citrus and sweet fruit with a peppery sting creates a paradox that feels both playful and daring. Adding rose and iris gives the middle a powdery, fresh floral cushion, while the vanilla‑incense base introduces a warm, slightly smoky amber that lingers far longer than the initial burst. This contrast turns the perfume into a sensory swing between daylight zest and evening comfort, making the experience feel weightless yet grounded.
The Evolution
The first fifteen minutes explode with grapefruit’s sharp sparkle and pear’s juicy snap, while Sichuan pepper adds a tingling heat that flirts with the skin. By the half‑hour mark the rose‑iris duo softens the edge, spreading a velvety, powdery bloom that feels like a rose‑colored cloud drifting over a spring garden. As the scent settles into its drydown, vanilla’s sweet creaminess melds with incense’s resinous smoke, leaving a lingering amber‑balsamic trail that can persist for eight to ten hours on most wearers, trailing softly behind movement.
Cultural Impact
Since its 2021 debut, Yes, Please has become a talking point among niche enthusiasts for its daring cotton‑candy texture and the way it flips from an aggressive citrus‑pepper opening to a warm incense drydown. Collectors often cite it as a signature piece that bridges playful sweetness with sophisticated smokiness, earning a loyal following on social platforms and sparking debates about its synthetic accents versus its natural rose heart.
The House
Turkey · Est. 2018
Pekji is an independent Turkish perfume house that blends personal memory with contemporary scent craft.

Its catalogue spans from the early 2015 experiments to the 2021 releases, offering a handful of distinct fragrances that explore identity, culture, and raw emotion. Pekji’s bottles carry a minimalist aesthetic, while each scent invites the wearer to confront familiar moments through an unconventional olfactory lens.
