Description
Coach, an American brand producing leather gallantry, has launched their first fragrance carrying the same name, Coach. The President and Art director of Coach, Reed Krakoff, described the composition as classic floral which combines mysterious chic of vintage aromas and modern fruity nuances. “We did not want simply to have a perfume. We wanted it to be unique.” The beautiful classical bottle features modern print.
The fragrance starts with fresh and energetic notes of mandarin and guava decorated with tender floral nuances of lily and violet leaves. The flower of Genet is in the center, arranged with jasmine and mimosa with just a hint of honey. The precious base includes woody notes, vanilla, amber and iris.
Coach has launched a number of accessories together with the perfume: bags, pendants, bracelets, scarves and wallets. The fragrance was launched in 2007, it is available in 50ml bottles and small bottles of 10 ml in form of solid perfume – key chainholder. Available as Eau de Parfum.

Well, this is just beautiful. I could swear there is honeysuckle here, too, and just underneath that a sweet citrus – I guess the guava. After about 5 hours there is a powdery floral with amber present. So light and feminine and happy throughout – I really love this fragrance. Great blind buy from TJ Maxx.

I do not find this boring at all. I love Mimosa and all the other notes are blended well. It has a great Sillage and is very feminine. I am reading all this “boring” lately on many reviews. Is it really the scent or the person wearing it? I wonder. I think Coach is well done and will remain in my wardrobe as long as it is around. It can be casual or classy. It has bounce. This signature whether w gold or silver band suit me well. The D’Or one was a heavy leather, but great for those who like leather. I still haveMiss Balmain for that mood.

water lily, orange blossom, guava, cedar, sandalwood, hint of vanilla, hint of violet; pretty common, boring floral

This is one of my top 5 fragrances, I absolutely love it!! My beau gifted a 1oz bottle when it first came out and I fell head over heels over it. I get a lot of compliments when I wear it. No honeysuckle? you’d swear it was in it. Slightly sweet, and citrus-y floral. Elegant and clean. Very femenine. medium projection and better silage. I loved it so much I bought 3- 3.4oz edp bottles and a 3.4oz edt. I will not be wishing I still had a bottle any time soon.

Talk about boring… This one is as boring as boring gets. I can smell the violet very strong but Paco Rabanne ultraviolet is a lot more special. This is nice and generic but feels cheap like drug store perfume, so if you want to blend in unnoticed this is it. Won’t turn heads ever. I can’t detect any woodsy or earthy scent in it, just the violet. Reminds me of the easter cologne water boys were spraying on us 30 years ago.

Lovely! Really gorgeous sweet, woody floral. I love it. It’s a beautiful sweet jasmine, the honey is delicious with the lovely soft pretty delicate mimosa, and the vanilla is yummy. I also love the guava. And it lasts for 12 hours easily, and I get heaps of compliments. It’s gorgeous, and very elegant, uplifting and comforting. And I love the bottle too – very classy.

I just blind bought this after all the positive reviews. It is a nice white floral with many components but has such poor projection and longevity, I can only smell it on myself and it projects for about 5 minutes. I think I would need to almost layer it with something. If only it had something in it to make it last rather than dissappear with the wind. I focus on this so much because it doesn’t at first spray seem to be a light perfume; you get a whiff of so many notes it’s unbelievable and stopped me in my tracks. But then it just goes! I wish there was an intense version so much. I have sprayed this 15 times today and asked my friend if she liked my perfume and she couldn’t smell it, if it’s any indication. And I sprayed it 15 mins before I saw her. I will still use it though because it smells so nice but it bugs me so much that it doesn’t last.

This fragrance is beautiful and is a good representation of Coach’s image. It’s also pretty versatile.
Some people mention honeysuckle so I checked out the notes to see why and I think it’s actually the bit of honey added mixed with the mimosa- this is how it’s described in the notes search “mimosa is child-like, sweet, soft and hazy heliotrope-smelling note with sugar-spun tonalities”
The nice woody smell nicely balances out the powdery sweetness. I found that I needed to purchase a large bottle because this is the fragrance that got me hooked on mimosa 🙂
dmitrrusakov – :
I didn’t think I would like this, but a customer at work wanted to try it a few days ago and I love it! Honeysuckle isn’t listed on here, but it smelled just like honeysuckle to me.
3020072007 – :
I’m glad i am not the only one that smells honeysuckle in this. I don’t know why and how, because honeysuckle is not listed here.
Lovely perfume, like it a lot, especially now in spring. I have lots of honeysuckle in my garden that are blooming right now and it smells just like Coach, Coach.
jylbirdslv3 – :
I have a perfume collection and so I switch around what I wear almost everyday. So far, my husband showed real interest in only this perfume.
slezer – :
Foof!!! Too high pitched and cloying. Gotta wash this bugger off!!! One of the strongest perfumes I have ever tried…headache like a needle going in and out of my temples slowly!!!
kisly90 – :
I love this fragrance! I have the parfum and the toilette. Unfortunately, I will not repurchase. It is must too expensive to have the strength of a body spray. It’s a shame that a designer labeled fragrance is so fleeting on my skin. It’s a beauty while it is there.
Jeniferpkz, – :
i got a sample of this, and knew it wouldn’t really be my style, but i tested it anyway. it smells like a heady perfumy lily of the valley/muguet to me with maybe something orangey or orange blossom-ey in the background. i am not a big fan of fresh scents or fresh florals. it’s just not a “me” scent.
phoenix512 – :
I love Honneysuckle and Jasmine and this hit the spot! She is light yet persistant on my skin, leaving more of an aura than a sillage per say. The opening is mouthwatering with Guava , bright and happy. I find this to be a romantic scent, to wear when I am feeling peaceful and carefree. The innocent floral bouquet emerges , fresh and sweet , rendered sensual by the soft Honey-Jasmine note I so love. I have gotten many compliments : smells fresh, clean , sweet, classy and elegantly understated. A like for now.. perhaps Love will grow!
Лешик С – :
I was stopped in my tracks by this, which blew my mind. I couldn’t beleive they came out with a parfum, finally! I love the smell against my skin. When I was younger I used to wear very exotic spicy orientals, but now I seem to need just a hint of powder in a scent. Coach Coach smells beutiful and reminds me of the islands. There is just a hint of the powdery touch, so it stays true to form on my skin and doesn’t turn. I love this perfume! Long lasting, and yes, I keep sniffing myself!

I bought this to my Mom for her birthday and she loved it. Smells really classy, fresh, elegant and lovely. One of the nicest florals I’ve encounter in my fragrance journey. Jasmine is the dominant note in this one and for me its done right. Very versatile and easy to use. You really can’t go wrong for its price.
kovival – :
A flurry of soft white blossoms. I know jasmine is officially listed but this smells so exotic and spa-like I feel that it’s a honeyed blend of frangipani, gardenia and ginger lilies instead.
This perfume is exactly like that gloriously delectable fragrance you get when you open the frosted glass door to a spa in the middle of Bali, surrounded with blooming plumeria trees, pale stones, warm towels and wood décor. It’s perfect if you want a spa retreat in a bottle and would also be a beautiful choice for the beach.
EDIT: Give it a chance on your skin, I get a gorgeous orange blossom honey note on mine. I love it.
Reactiv1 – :
This is a good case of what one would call “body lotion jasmine”. It’s been completely neutered and smells like a bath/body product instead of a perfume.
Powdery sweet blandness.
alexserebrov – :
When I wear this fragrance, I feel sexy. It’s one of those clean and sensuous skin scents that I really like, and love getting a whiff of on myself. This is my favorite Coach scent. It’s expensive, but worth the splurge.
Nalkallerry – :
Whoa, jasmine. That’s overwhelmingly what I smell. This is not heavy or indolic as sometimes jasmine can be. I think this is a very fresh, clean, crisp, sweet floral. It’s perfect for wearing in hot weather if you use it lightly, as I find it rather strong.
lesha1993 – :
Love it but yeah noooooo value its prise!!!!!
smg163 – :
I got this for my birthday this year; and it is my new favorite perfume! God Bless Betty Meares for getting me this! I am in love with this perfume! I even spray a touch on my pillow every night to keep smelling it! It smells like everything I love in this world when i put it on! It’s so clean, fresh, classy & alluring…it smells like something Princess Diana or someone you’d look up to would wear. Well, it’s my scent now! 😉
dr. drugs – :
“Classic” this fragrance gives off a oriental classy woman vibe. Out for a night of feeling like a diamond and classy? Wear this.
The bottle is not to busy which I like but is not a Signature fragrance bottle. A signature fragrance bottle should be something flashy and unforgettable.
The fragrance is a Classic Oriental fragrance with the dominating fragrance of Jasmine. It captures class and beauty but also has a soft powder smell which can be either a win or a lose. Depend on the person.

Very similar to Dior’s Pure Posion but slightly “warmer” than PP and not nearly as long lasting as PP. For the price, this perfume should last much longer than it does. I prefer PP’s scent and quality to Coach.
KemHergeBeamp – :
Holy moly this might be hands down the best floral ever. I am so in love
Alexey200999 – :
This scent is addictive. My bf goes crazy when I wear it!
димон80 – :
I’m an avid gardener both veggies and flowers and this smells exactly like Honeysuckle to me. I love the way it lingers long after I cannot smell it. A personal favorite for me.
nin4ik – :
To Katyas: I have the body lotion, and it is very nice. I chose the lotion over the perfume as lotions tend to linger longer on my skin. I live in the Southern United States, and the humidity can really wreak havok on perfumes and colognes.
Andre_inbox – :
I’m not a fan of coach in general; this fragrance does nothing to change my mind. But brand has nothing to do with fragrance and judging the perfume alone is what I attempted to do.
I do not get a traditional jasmine in this so why that is listed as the dominant note slightly puzzles me. I get a very lush, musky gardenia with a jasmine accent. Unfortunately within a few seconds of spraying this I could feel my throat and chest begin to close up painfully. I frantically tried to scrub this off but the damage was done. The pain wasn’t as bad after I washed a few times, but I still wound up with a tight feeling in my throat and chest all day.
I wouldn’t wear this if you paid me.
Cipsstooccara – :
Love the handbags, dislike this fragrance. Smells sweet and floral which may sound like a good idea but isn’t. The scent turns my stomach. Smelling very cheap, I’m not jumping on this bandwagon just to seem cool. I’ll leave this scent to middle/high schoolers.
Inigesmemia – :
I bought a large bottle for my mother! She likes it. I got 2 little sample bottles. I wear it to work. Someone says… the room smells like fresh flowers! Ha..ha..ha.. I am a bouquet of flowers, jasmine mostly!!!!
drcast – :
When I first put this on I thought it smelled nice, like fresh, clean, soft…then as I wore it longer it started to remind me of something: the smell of a clean new car, like the smell of the new leather seats, really!…so I don’t really know if I wanna smell like that lol….I mean it’s definitely not offensive, just not me maybe……..
rusak83 – :
Very floral, extremely sweet, reminds me of rose petals for some reason, even though there is nothing like that in the description. I actually like it a lot, but it did take me a second to get used to it and start liking it. It seems very girly, so I wouldnt be surprised many husbands and boyfriends might not appreciate it just as much as we girls 🙂 Definitely a great pick for a sunny spring or summer day :))
wart – :
It’s no surprise why I fell in love with this fragrance, the top notes of Mandarin+guava is so enticing to my sensors, then that orange blossoms & jasmine, absolute allure for a pick me up mood! My First Coach is certainly a priceless possession of mine! I hope to collect a few more editions cum additions! 😉
inches – :
my husband says he doesnt care for me to wear this.I think it smells nice
Xeroxglrkn – :
Like this fragrance. It smells very floral on me. I get a lot of jasmine with vanilla amber notes. It’s a happy fragrance . . . .
Saint_angel – :
I agree with a previous reviewer about this being “energetic”, I think that’s because it is rather refreshting to wear. I am really drawn to it b/c it smells likea fresh floral. Not just flowery, but also a waterery (I can’t explain it, that’s the best I can do) type smell. It’s hard to explain, but I think that’s why this scent really appeals to me- it’s the combo that I haven’t noticed in other perfumes. Usually I don’t find a lot of fresh florals. Definitly a future buy.
volk2011 – :
There is something energetic about this fragrance. At first I thought I am smelling a freshly cut apple. As it stays on your skin very nicely, more and more herbal notes come forward. It has a very clean aroma. I am surprised that the perfume contains no leather – I expected this after the Hermes tradition. Comparing it with yet another perfume house, Bond No. 9 comes to mind … Both COACH and many of their fragrances radiate confidence.
alfa8989alfa – :
I found this 2b a nice floral perfume… Wut I like most about it is the fact that its not as green as EL Pleasures or as sharp… Soft, feminine, pleasant and very well done…Good sillage too!!!
zlm943Negeltzex – :
Found this @ Factory store. It is very floral. I can pick up Jasmine, Lotus, and Honeysuckle. Perhaps honeysuckle is strongest. The scent reminds me a bit of Estee Lauder Pleasure, which I think that Estee is a bit more pleasant and a bit younger. The base note is nice and typical with musk woody vanilla; close to skin.
4nok – :
it seems the beginning is a fruity floral,being ripe juicy oranges and tall white lilies.a true fresh scent.as it mixes more with my skin i detect a honeyed jasmine.sticky sweet yet still floral.the beautiful drydown is vanills soaked wood.comforting and expensive scent.

I miss Coach. The products they have been pushing at us lately do not count! I remember a time when Coach stood for understated elegance, with timeless silhouettes in quality buttery leather. Such a lady-like brand that spoke to the carrier’s understanding of good taste. Now most products Coach produces seem to mass-produced variations of the letter C, screaming RICH MALL RAT on the arms of every other preteen in the U.S.
This rant seems off-topic, but I feel like it sums up my feelings toward Coach the perfume. A mediocre DERIVATIVE of every other fruity floral that’s been released in the past decade. I am frustrated that Coach can juice a few cirtuses, thoughtlessly throw in a bit of jasmine, and bottle it as perfume. Oh, I forgot, they branded every square inch of the bottle with those ubiquitous Cs because they KNEW nobody would buy it without the name branding. I’m disgusted.
Admittedly, Coach doesn’t smell trashy. It’s fine. Boring, but fine. But if some marketing chair thought they could turn a profit by selling water in C-branded bottles, I don’t want any of it. Coach doesn’t smell like the Coach I remember.
mperetokin – :
It has much of the same “feel” (but lighter) as Michael Kors “Very Hollywood”, a sophisticated fruity floral. The MKVH is much longer lasting, though, not to mention less expensive.
miron1984 – :
Love the brand, but this let me down, sadly. As with SO MANY fragrances these days, there was an overload of synthetic jasmine. Immediately reminded me of something a grandmother would wear — a cheap-smelling floral. Definitely an unexpected disappointment.
sport2301 – :
I work with fragrances and this one caught my attention. I did not care for the first note nor the second but that last one is outstanding. Femenine, elegant,fresh and unique. It does need
more strength though.
Elinoise – :
I had the opportunity to try this scent (and get a few samples in the process) while doing a mystery shop – and just fell in love with it. It smells absolutely delicious on me – fresh and clean, slightly sweet with that hint of honey and the florals are clear and pure. The only downside is that, unfortunately, the scent doesn’t seem to last very long. I would be very interested in a lotion and/or a solid perfume as an addition to an EDP to help extend the scent. Try out this scent – it’s lovely!
account-10 – :
Got a couple of samples with a handbag I bought. No big deal! It smells very much like an Estee Lauder fragrance, which overall I do not care for.
lvy326speagoessenda – :
I am not really a big fan of Coach, the brand, the name, the accessories, the handbags. There are a lot of cute handbags, but I have yet to find one that I would shell out full price for. So, I excepted the same with the fragrance. However, it was rather surprising when it opened with the mandarin and you can sense a pinch of the guava. The vanilla lingers and I actually rather like it, a lot.
