Description
The second fragrance by the house of Coach, perfume for women, Coach Legacy was presented. It arrives in a round, glass bottle with discrete motive of the house and a gold top with a seal of the house, in a very attractive box with beautiful colours used often by the brand. The perfume was created of a unique blend of gentle flowers combined with amber, vanilla and precious wood.
The perfume Coach Legacy is available as 50 ml EDP, with an accompanying collection which will thrill you with its design and quality: Legacy Purse Spray –fragrance handy for your purse and Coach Legacy Lip Gloss Charm – heart-shaped key chain holder with lip gloss. Besides cosmetics, a collection of Legacy purses, scarves and accessories was presented.
Legacy was launched in 2008.

Legacy by Coach is a very wearable clean fruity floral, however, I’m not sure that it’s worth its extraordinarily high price tag. This composition has been done before, in fact, many fragrances in a cheaper price range smell very similar if not the same.
Legacy by Coach is super fresh and crisp on my skin making it the perfect scent for Spring and Summer. The most dominant notes to my nose include honeysuckle, orange peel, sandalwood and potentially grapefruit. Many would describe this scent as having a ‘shampoo vibe’, the type of scent that encapsulates the feeling of having just stepped out of the shower.
I don’t tend to reach for clean scents all too often, so Legacy by Coach probably wouldn’t get a lot of wear if it were ever in my collection. Clean fruity florals are usually my go-to’s for casual, around the house wear. Seeing that Legacy by Coach is becoming increasingly harder to obtain and as a result more expensive, I highly doubt that I would ever buy a bottle.
It’s a shame actually as I really like the bottle design and its presentation. Legacy by Coach also lasts extremely well on my skin and has moderate projection. I am glad that I ordered a sample before blind purchasing as you can probably see from the varied reviews, it is quite a polarising scent.

I like Coach fragrances, my favorite is Coach Signature, now discontinued. I kept reading all the great reviews on Coach Legacy and to top it of I read it was discontinued, so I bit the bullet and purchased a 1.7 bottle as the larger bottle is no longer available. It wasn’t cheap. I was so excited! I received it and promptly sprayed on myself. Ugh!!! cough! cough! What on earth is in this? I like all the notes listed, but something is definitely is spoiling it. I have to agree with Lipglossjunkee, it smells like cheap shampoo, maybe not shampoo, but something cheap indeed.

I just re-ordered this for myself – it’s easily found Online. I wore this a couple of years ago when spending a month up in British Columbia (I got so many compliments when wearing it, especially from women) – my bottle is almost empty, so needed to treat myself today. I love being surrounded by this intense floral frag. Sillage is around 6 ft, longevity right at 10 hours.

ecpkngt really hit the nail on the head with how I feel about this fragrance. At first I liked it, then I didn’t, then I read her review and said EXACTLY!
It’s not quite safe, there’s something in it that people might not like. Linden blossom maybe? Magnolia that’s a bit too waxy? I can’t place it. But at the same time I kind of love the overall effect of this fragrance. Powdery…some mimosa in there somewhere with green vines and honeysuckle and lovely woody notes.
It’s overall classy, but can be youthful too and pretty versatile. I can definitely see it being someone’s signature.

I just received a sample of this. It is totally amazing. Soft florals surrounded by a honey type of scent. Soft with remarkable sillage and longevity. TOTALLY recommended.

Such a unique fragrance. Part of me loves it, while another part fears some of the notes may offend others. It’s one of those ‘guilty fragrances’ many of us enjoy on the sly: At bedtime, a dab on the wrist and etc. If you love this one, I’ve been able to find and purchase this at a top rated online oil store: Scentsational Shoppe’s oils smell just like the originals and The Common Scents is also a wonderful site for oils. I used to work at a fragrance counter and find many of my discontinued favorites there.

One of my favorites! Love!

Coach Legacy is my number one favorite floral fragrance. I cannot say how saddened I was to find out it was discontinued. It was, for the longest time, my signature scent. Although, I call it floral, it is in fact a spicy floral way more complex than my granny’s florals.
I always get compliments on CL. I am on a quest to buy up remaining inventory.

Very sharp,very green. Smells like cheap shampoo. I was hoping for some sweetness or something to soften the harsh edges,but no amber appeared, and the vanilla was weak and took 2 hours to make an appearance. Not worth keeping,for me.

This smells like a men’s fragrance to me. I wore it a lot one summer, and my impression never changed. I gave the rest of the bottle to my husband, and it is wonderful on him. Great staying power. But I can see why they discontinued it.

Dear Coach People,
Why this beautiful and sophisticated scent has been discontinued is a mystery.
This is a mainstay in on my dresser. Time and perfume are running out.
You replaced it with Coach Love? Seriously?
Not sincerely,

This smells rancid on me, even though it’s a lovely fragrance.

I agree this has nothing in common with Viva la juicy!!!! They might be opposites even!
Legacy is a formal serious floral. It smells nice if you are a fan of white florals, this is well done in its category, but it has a vintage vibe almost. Nonetheless this is stylish really, I agree it has similarities with EL Pleasure.Coach isn’t aiming at the young crowd with Legacy , it isn’t a bad scent, this is simply a floral perfume , with style , and elegance.

I bought this for my wife for mother’s day and I really love this on her. When I come in from work I get swept away by the sweet floral aroma. I guess it last for awhile as well. I asked her one day when she put it on and she said early that morning and it was around 6:00pm when I asked her. Women don’t be afraid to wear this around your guys. I know I go crazy when I smell it.

Legacy by Coach is an ideal floral fragrance.

I disagree with a lot of the reviews on here – this doesn’t smell exactly like Viva La Juicy. Viva La Juicy literally makes me feel nauseous – Coach Legacy does not. Legacy seems a bit softer, perhaps not quite as sweet. I’m not a huge fan of amber, but it’s not overwhelming in this perfume, in my opinion.
My husband loves Viva La Juicy and since I can’t wear it, Coach Legacy has been a good compromise for both of us.
I will admit this is not my favorite perfume. It’s not something I would have purchased for myself – but my sister received it as a gift and didn’t like it, so gave it to me. I imagine the bottle will last me for quite some time.
I do actually get a lot of complements when I wear it, though. It has decent sillage and staying power – I still catch whiffs of it at the end of the workday.

For the price… it’s totally not worth it, BUT I am not a floral scent person to begin with. My husband gave this to me as a gift a couple of year ago… the bottle is still basically full sitting in my bathroom. I have tried to use it a couple of times but to me it smelt like an old lady who over sprayed perfume lol… (I only put one squirt on!!!!!) Too floral for my taste and floral smells cheap to me.

smells fresh andclean. nice bottle I love the rainbow colors. reminds me of tommy girl but apparently they dont make that anymore.

On the one hand, this smells not-very-distinctive, at first. At first, it reminds me a bit of the perfumes sold in high-school-to-college-age-girls clothing stores. Soft, powdery floral.
But something about the underlying hint of wood and amber, something about the way it reminds me of good leather- handbags and belts and shoes mixed in amongst the clean clothes in a fine wooden armoire; working saddle soap into smooth grain; the soft firmness of the seats in a luxury car… there’s just something about it.
Something that has me unable to stop breathing it in off my skin. Something a little stark, a little luxurious, a little mature. Like a warmly chic boutique you can’t help but love to browse around in, despite its pretentious customers and prices. You kind of want to become it, just a little.

I’m not nuts for the melon opening, tho I might like it more in the hot weather. The floral heart is worth waiting for. Good, not great. I’ll wear it to work.

My initial impression was okay. It was a very pleasant floral scent which reminded me so much of Estee Lauder Pleasures. Unfortunately, it is still quite expensive for such an uninspiring fragrance.
