Last week, I had to get something at the drugstore and hadn’t planned on a fragrance purchase, but when I saw some clearance tags, I just had to stop and look. I was interested in the COACH edt and surprisingly enough they had a tester (they don’t usually), although the price was low enough that I would have made a blind buy as I was pretty sure I’d like it.
In fact, I did like it and when I paid for it, the SA told me that I’d purchased the last bottle and the store would no longer be carrying this one, so would I like to have the tester for free. Well, of course I would! Ironically, the bottle I bought is only 1 oz and the free tester (about 80% full) is 3.4 oz. So, it’s a good thing I do like this one as I certainly have a lot of it now.
So much for the background story, now for the review. COACH edt is a very spring-like fragrance with a fresh, floral sweetness. On me the dominant note is honeysuckle and I noticed that other reviewers also mentioned honeysuckle although this note isn’t listed. After a couple of hours, the floral-sweet honeysuckle notes give way to a more spicy floral scent. I find this to be a “perfumy” fragrance and it’s difficult for me to pick out individual notes, but there are many subtle nuances that present themselves. Sillage is strong for an edt and the longevity is quite good. It’s a very easy fragrance to wear when you’re in a floral mood.

Between the EDP and the EDT of this, I prefer the EDT, if by a mere margin. I really do not think I have a ‘signature’ fragrance, but if I do, this would be it. I keep thinking/dreading that this is going to be discontinued, and suffice it to say..I may or may not have more than one bottle of this in my collection (wink*wink). This is just the fragrance that if someone to smell this, they would think of me. So, in that sense, I guess this *is* my signature fragrance.
I am not really a fan of the bottle. I appreciate the simple and basic and classic and classy design, but I just wish the bottle had more ‘character’ to it. Why does MK make such basic designs for their fragrances..? Anyhoo, the fragrance itself. To me, this is predominantly a clean scent, with a sexiness added to it. The kind of scent that when you smell it on someone, you want them to come closer. Not overpowering at all and I think safe for the workplace or school or gatherings, provided nobody in attendance has asthma or allergies, etc. But this is a very ‘safe’ scent to me, which I suppose is another reason why I like it so well. I always get compliments when I wear this. This lasts all day on me, the dry down is pretty close to when first sprayed.
I do agree that this is more of a Spring/Summer scent and a daytime scent. I know some of the other MK fragrances are similar, and I do have some of his others, but this is the one I always go back to, and reach for, over the others. So yeah. ‘Signature scent’ for me. Love.

This is a TRUE jewel! Powdery white florals– just “dripping” with a sense of sunshine (don’t know where that note is coming from– but it is very potent). LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!
kekeliveCot – :
The first time I smelled this I thought it was pretty. Then I went back to it again and again. Was it the jasmine? The honeysuckle? I kept making up reasons to go into the restroom just to refresh it so I could smell it again. It makes me feel sexy in my jeans and jackets. It’s somehow the epitome of how a fall scent should smell. I love this and break it out when I need to feel the crisp excitement of a cold winter morning. Will it bring more of winter’s chill or a sunny afternoon of walking through all the autumn leaves. Coach signature fits everything and in-between. It’s how I want to smell while I twirl around in the falling leaves, and how I want to smell arriving home. Beautiful. This is in my top three fragrances of all time.

Coach EDT is a blast of florals. I get a striking blend of white and yellow florals. Jasmine is very prominent
with a upper layering of yellow florals. Interestingly I found this perfume working excellent during rainy seasons.
Actually the green notes favour the pure rainwashed atmosphere. However, this is not “out of the world” kind.
I don’t think it rocks during summer as the floral notes are kinda strong to the point of overwhelming. The sillage is very good and longevity is also apt for the price.
If you are adventurous about floral perfumes or love collecting it, this is a good option with a twist from the usual mild, light scented florals and the strong overpowering tuberose-gardenoiselles.
qumso11377 – :
This smells clean and fresh, like the best soap in the world. I dont know what notes are what, but the way they all blend together is perfect
Garik223999 – :
I absolutely loved this fragrance when I bought it at the fragrance counter . I adored the scent of Gardenia without the air freshener alcohol smell which is often obvious in fragrances with Gardenia.
I was so pleased to have found something light for spring & summer that wasn’t too floral. However, after leaving the Dept store which of course has various perfumes in the air, I missed the cucumber scent in this fragrance & I loathe the smell of cucumber!
Many women will & should love this light airy spring breeze floral scent & it would be PERFECT for women who enjoy the fresh scent of cucumber. I’ve been told I’m the only person who doesn’t like the smell of cucumbers so with that said, all other women should LOVE it!

I like the smell of this perfume but I will not buy it because it smells just like my grandmother. She does have good taste though!
Arrelesmara – :
I had been wanting something from COACH for a while, and after testing the majority of the POPPY line … Which all of them are horrible or predictable. This gem. This one took me for love. Granted it’s a very typical scent. The gardenia and floral are very typical. But this being a toilette just works. Smells very clean and fresh yet radiantly rich. Holds very close to the skin and strong on fabric. I wore this two times in the same day and just felt a good “smel” following me all day. This will be a day to day work scent for sure. Classic.

The sales lady at Kohls sprayed this on my wrist. She told me don’t smell your wrist for 30 minutes and come back let me know what you think of this. I walked around the store not wanting to smell my wrist because the top notes were strong to me. I waited and smelled such a beauty I couldn’t stop sniffing. This went from headache to amazingly beautiful!
I walked back over and bought a bottle. The sales lady said, see I knew you would come back!
Soft, clean, fresh, feminine masterpiece. I really love this.

These are one of the few fragrances I’ve smelled that are targeted at younger people that I actually can stand. It dosent smell like it belongs to a loud mouth, gum chomping 15 year old that makes out with they’re Justin Bieber cutout and says Yolo every other word. It smells like someone who may not be the most innocent person in the world but she’s nice to everyone and everyone likes her back. It’s a good choice for summer and like most summer scents, don’t expect it to last very long. Coach to me is a honeyed jasmine and honeysuckle, orange blossom scent with water lily kinda there and a little tuberose. I definitely see the big white florals like amarige as being an inspiration for some of these more subdued white florals of today like this one, couture couture, burberry brit, pure poison, Florence. It’s really to bad that more people don’t smell like this.
Stifffler – :
Bought it on clearance and immediately regretted it. It’s very musky smelling- almost to the point where you notice others sniffing to make sure it’s the perfume smelling and not body odor.
Vidocq1977 – :
A very fresh, exclusively floral fragrance for springtime and summer. I detect honeysuckle and lily of the valley. I love it! But I hate the bottle. The little printed-on chain that looks cheap and the wide, thin size (100 ml) is unwieldy. I’m always afraid I’ll drop and break it.
Too bad it’s a limited edition!
Denarr – :
This fragrance is inviting, and as a lot of other reviews said, fresh. . . definitely.
I know by vote this is mostly categorized as a spring perfume, but it’s really too balmy and subtly aquatic to be a spring scent. Of course, it would be great during spring, too, and in all seasons, IMO, but the crisp guava, orange blossom and jasmine notes come forward as early summer.
Coach’s floral/fruitiness is smooth, but not overly blended.
Isn’t overpowering and blends well with the home.
The only negative comment on this is that after having it for a while, at some point it made me a tad nauseated and around that point I got tired of this scent. The guava in particular doesn’t fit this fragrance, IMO.
It’s nice, but I don’t recommend using it often. Twice a week at most.
6/10

Love this fragrance. So fresh and clean; not soapy at all. Just beautiful and simple.
sas123 – :
My sister gifted me this delicate perfume that got me nice compliments, for me it’s citrusy maybe due to Mandarine oranges but the dry down is very soft and powdery, very nice job COACH .
AccubLepVep – :
I love this fragrance! I just chose it as my signature perfume for spring and summer. Once I tried Coach on a paper tester, my eyes lit up! Wow, I thought! I then tried it on my skin, and I continued to love it throughout the day! I was trying to find the “one”, and although I tried many others, I always came back to this one! So, I confidently made my purchase, and I am so excited that I found it! Each day, I can’t wait to wear this! I don’t know much about perfumes or how to describe the notes etc..but to me, Coach EDT is just so upbeat, uplifting, and beautiful! It makes me happy! A bouquet in a bottle!
The only negative I find, is that it does not have a high sillage or longevity. Good thing I bought the 100ml bottle, because I spray at least twice a day!
fulay35 – :
This is surprisingly lovely in its simplicity. I get a lot of water lily without being straight-up aquatic + clean jasmine; the only kind I like, personally. Not soapy nor indolic, not sharp or astringent.
These 2 key player white florals are balanced by tender mimose & a zing of mandarine rind. These 4 really obvious notes to me and it’s so lovely and refreshing! Beneath that and as it wears on more there is a decent amount of cedar spice (which is what people seem to be getting ‘musk’ from) & lots of the lovely, ever-present jasmine.
A clean, cool, preppy scent. Will be great when hot & humid weather arrives! Very happy with my blind purchase and it just keeps growing on me every time I wear it.
Irriseate – :
Lovely scent that lasts quite a long time on me. I am generally not a white floral type, but I really like this. I DO like tuberose and there is just enough in this to ‘be there’ without being overpowering and ‘too tuberose’
Alex_Nazarov – :
This seems quite strong to me. My categories for that are Opium older version on the strong side (lasts forever, a molecule will carry down the block for a week), to Be Delicous on the weak side (while in the Food Court you wonder if you did indeed spray something on yourself over at Macys)
But several hours later from 2 squirts, I can still get a good whiff 12″ away from my wrist and the floral gardenia-ish scent is quite forceful.
That said, it’s nice to have a floral in the Jessica McClintok variety, and this does seem in the same folder, that lasts and doesn’t turn musky. I like florals that smell for the most part, continually floral. Acqua di Gio for Women has the best ever drydown.
Shira_skin – :
Sort of reminds me of Amarige, Givenchy. Doesnt last nearly as Long though…
yulia25 – :
I just recieved it for Christmas. It’s okay. At the moment I’m really into stronger, heady, spicy fragrances that actually have a personality so currently this fragrance, although was a very nice gesture as a gift – to me – stands as bland and mediocre as a fragrance. It reminds me of all the Pop Star endorsed “floral” fragrances that are so alike to me that I can’t tell them apart. I’ll probably put it to good use in the summer and spring.
engextgexopay – :
This is such a pretty scent: floral without being powdery, sweet without being cloying. Kind of reminds me of the original Jessica McClintock, but not as strong. Problem: when I tried it on myself, it turned sour and awful within about an hour. A leather smell seems to have taken over where the fresh sweet florals were before. It took a lot of time to wash it off.
Mr Ronnie – :
I really love this one. It is very fresh and pretty. This perfect for summer but I wear it all year round. It is just beautiful and I consider this one those fragrances you go to when you do not know what you want to wear. I feel the same way about Marc Jacobs Daisy.
Евенко Андрей – :
It is so fresh and green,Perfect for summer. I like it.
miron.78 – :
This is a really pretty floral, but it does not last on me. If they had an EDP, I would love this.
ByShekineC – :
I have 6 or 7 perfumes for various occasions, and this one is by far my favorite for ‘serious’ situations where I’m also in my closet for an hour choosing my outfit and I’m extra fussy about my hair.
It’s set apart from other perfumes because it’s character is so individualistic without being one of the candy- or poweder- scented groups that are so in fashion these days.
It reminds me of Givenchy’s L’Escapade except that it stay with me until I shower it off.
I love it!
snaiper13 – :
Very fun! Reminds me of summer. The most prominent scent is the honeysuckle. Definitely a light day scent. long lasting.
Kovaleshka – :
Bought this a few months ago but it was too light for winter. Used it today and the warm clean sunshine comes out in the flowers. After 2-3 hours I can’t stop stealing a hint of my sleeve, the heart is so fresh, bright.
As orchidinthedesert said, clean and preppy, yes!
korob_dmx – :
This one’s ok, but I feel like they didn’t push any one of the fragrances far enough! Should’ve gone with more orange flower, more citrus, more guava… more SOMETHING. As it is, it’s just a nice generic scent.
Atoa – :
Quite nice, but personally I like the Signature Summer Fragrance Limited Edition better. This is more fruity but still very floral, it smells a little bit like soap to me. Overall ok but doesnt do well on my skin.
neytronik2 – :
It has a nice scent the jasmine definitively stands out on my skin…it is a fresh clean scent.
x-zone82 – :
Opens big with white flowers, green leaves, and something I can only describe as a little mustiness. Thankfully the mustiness dissipates quickly to leave the pure floral scents to star on their own. I really like it for its freshness in the middle notes, and it stays fresh until the end. A great fume for spring.
starichok – :
I smell jasmine, tuberose, and gardenia. I like it a lot, a very clean scent.
славик ford – :
Sophisticated, Smoothly Elegant, Clean, Cool, Hyperfeminine, Intimately Sexy, Sensual Skin Scent. A delicate fruity floral opening with the exotic freshness of waterlilly meshed seamlessly with citrus, succulent guava, and violet expands into the heady intoxication of a gorgeously clean white floral melange. Orange blossom, jasmine, and tuberose dominate magnificently here, without the tuberose ever going sour (which is unusual for me). Mimosa just barely softens the mix but thankfully not enough to descend into a sneezebomb of powder or sickening sweetness. Amber and cedar finish the clean and elegant base with a complex intimacy in feeling that keeps the scent wearing close to the skin. Like rolling naked with a lover on clean bedsheets right after a deliciously soapy shower together. Another gem for my dresser. This one is a keeper. Thank you Coach. –winks–
Nataliy.1995 – :
I’ve tried this and the Summer edition. This is a nice floral but the Summer Edition is a little more complex.
