Coach Eau de Parfum: The Signature Scent
Coach Eau de Parfum is the signature scent of the brand, launched in 2016. It is a floral and fruity fragrance, with notes of raspberry, Turkish rose, suede, and sandalwood. It is a sophisticated and elegant perfume, suitable for any occasion.
The perfume opens with a burst of juicy raspberry, followed by a heart of delicate rose petals. The base is a blend of soft suede and creamy sandalwood, creating a warm and cozy drydown. The perfume is well-balanced and refined, with a touch of sweetness and femininity.
This perfume is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a day at work, a night out, or a romantic date. It is versatile and adaptable, and it can complement any outfit and mood. It is also a great choice for all year round, as it can work well in any season.
How it actually smells: The suede and sandalwood in the base makes this perfume a bit unisex leaning, but a beautiful signature scent nonetheless. The suede note is unrecognizable, but the sandalwood is definitely prominent. There is also a slight powdery-ness that mellows the sandalwood in the dry-down. So, if you’re into more unisex fragrances, and you’re trying to select a fragrance from this line you may like this.
The perfume has really good sillage and projection, meaning it creates a reasonable scent bubble around you and last for hours on the skin. It was created by master perfumers Juliette Karagueuzoglou and Anne Flipo, who have also worked on other famous designer brands such as Chloe, Yves Saint Laurent, and Jimmy Choo.
The perfume comes in a sleek glass bottle with a gold turnlock, inspired by the iconic Coach bags. The bottle is adorned with a black leather and gold hangtags.
The perfume is available on Coach’s website and ULTA, in different sizes and prices, ranging from $74 for 1.7 oz to $112 for 3.0 oz. You can also find it in gift sets and travel size sprays.
You DO NOT have to buy fragrances at retail price. Currently you can get the 3oz tester of this perfume for $37 on AuraFragrance or $30 on GiftExpress. That’s ALOT cheaper than $112!
Coach Floral: The Fresh and Cheerful Scent
Coach Floral is another perfume from the Coach perfume line, launched in 2018. It is a floral and citrus fragrance, with notes of pineapple sorbet, pink peppercorn, tea rose, jasmine sambac, and musk. It is a fresh and cheerful perfume, suitable for daytime wear and spring and summer seasons.
The perfume starts with a sweet, zesty, and refreshing notes of pineapple sorbet and citrus, followed by a spicy and sparkling note of pink peppercorn. The heart is a floral infusion of tea rose, jasmine sambac, and gardenia, adding a touch of elegance and femininity. The base is a clean and crisp blend of musk, wood, and patchouli creating a smooth and elegant drydown.
How it actually smell: This perfume leans more floral-fresh, it is airy, and has a very slight musky base. So, if you’re into fresh-floral scents, you would love this.
This perfume is ideal for daytime; it’s great for work, and even a lunch or coffee date. It is also a great choice for spring and summer, as it evokes a sense of freshness and airiness.
The perfume has a good sillage and longevity, meaning it is noticeable and durable. I get 5+ hours of wear time with this perfume. It was created by perfumers Shyamala Maisondieu, Nadine le Garlantezec, and Nathalie Gracia-Cetto, who also worked on fragrances for other popular designer brands such as Prada, Chloe, and Lancome.
The perfume comes in a clear glass bottle with a rose gold turnlock, inspired by the Coach bags. The bottle is decorated with a rose gold hangtag and a light pink floral charm, reflecting the floral vibe of the fragrance. FYI: The 1oz bottles only come with the floral charm.
The perfume is available on Coach’s website, Macy’s and ULTA, in different sizes and prices, ranging from $74 for 1.7 oz to $112 for 3.0 oz. You can also find it in gift sets and travel size sprays.
You DO NOT have to buy fragrances at retail price. Currently you can get the 3oz tester of this perfume for $29 on GiftExpress or $43 on AuraFragrance. That’s ALOT cheaper than $112!
Coach Floral Blush: The Fresh and Playful Scent
Coach Floral Blush is a newer addition to the Coach perfume line, released in 2019. It is a fresh and playful scent, with notes of goji berries, grapefruit, peony, and woods. It is a light and airy perfume, perfect for casual wear but still noticeable.
The perfume starts with a refreshing and zesty blend of goji berries and grapefruit, adding a touch of sweetness and tartness. The heart is a floral bouquet of peony and peach, for a fruity-floral touch. The base is a woody and musky mix that adds some depth and warmth to the fragrance.
How does it actually smell: Although this opens up as a fruity-floral, it dries down into a more floral forward fragrance with slight hints of the fruit in the background. I prefer the floral dry-down of Coach Floral (above) than the floral dry-down of this fragrance. If you’re into floral fragrances, this may be a good choice for you.
This perfume is ideal for casual occasions, such as a brunch with the girls or a picnic in the park. It is also a great choice for spring and summer, as it evokes a sense of freshness and playful femininity.
The perfume has a moderate sillage and longevity, meaning it is not too overpowering or too faint. It settles nicely on the skin and maintains its floral profile through all its levels of notes. It was created by perfumer Juliette Karagueuzoglou, who also worked on Coach Eau de Parfum and other popular fragrances such as Calvin Klein, Dior, and Givenchy.
The perfume comes in a cute pink-peach ombre bottle with a silver turnlock, inspired by the Coach bags. The bottle is decorated with a silver hangtag and a pink-peach floral charm, to reflect the playful and feminine style of the fragrance. FYI: The 1oz bottles only come with the floral charm.
The perfume is available on Coach’s website and Macy’s, in different sizes and prices, ranging from $74 for 1.7 oz to $112 for 3.0 oz. You can also find it in gift sets and travel size sprays.

- You DO NOT have to buy fragrances at retail price. Currently you can get the 3oz tester of this perfume for $36 on GiftExpress or $37 on FragranceNet. That’s ALOT cheaper than $112!
Coach Wild Rose: The Bold and Delicate Scent
Coach Wild Rose is a fairly new perfume from Coach, launched in 2022. It is a floral fruity fragrance, with notes of red currant, rose, and ambroxan. It is a bold yet delicate perfume which gives the vibes of being care-free and running through a garden of flowers.
The perfume begins with a juicy and tangy note of red currant and bergamot, followed by middle notes of rose and jasmine sambac. The base is a woody, warm and earthy note of ambroxan and crystal moss, creating a smooth and cozy drydown.
How does it actually smell: This is a very close contender for my favorite fragrance in the entire line. The ambroxan in this fragrance makes it very appealing to my nose. It is a good balance between fruity and fresh, and it has a feminine elegance (probably from the rose and jasmine sambac mixture). The rose in here is really well done, so if you hate rose fragrances (like me), no need to worry, you will actually like this.
In the dry-down there is a hint of that Baccarat Rouge 540 DNA, it’s not strong, but it helps ground the fragrance and mixes with the florals very well. If you’re into soft, floral, slightly sweet, woody fragrances, you will like this.
This perfume is ideal for any occasion, but especially great for going out with friends. It is also a great choice for spring and summer, as it brings out a sense of freshness and joy.
The perfume has a moderate sillage, meaning it is noticeable but not overpowering. I’ve also gotten 5+ hours of longevity with this fragrance. It was created by perfumer Marie Salamagne, who also worked on Coach Green, and other fragrances for companies such as, Dolce and Gabbana, Guerlain, Jo Malone, and Kate Spade.
The perfume comes in a purple-ish/maroon-ish ombre bottle with a gold turnlock, inspired by the Coach bags. The bottle has a leather hangtag and a gold “C” charm, which I presume represents Coach and/or the Coach logo. FYI: The 1oz bottles only come with the “C” charm.
The perfume is available on Coach’s website, Macy’s and ULTA, in different sizes and prices, ranging from $74 for 1.7 oz to $112 for 3.0 oz. You can also find it in gift sets and travel size sprays.
You DO NOT have to buy fragrances at retail price. Currently you can get the 3oz tester of this perfume for $35 on PerfumeEmpire or $43 on FragranceNet. That’s ALOT cheaper than $112.
Coach Love: The Sweet and Romantic Scent
Coach Love is a new perfume from Coach, launched in 2023. It is a fruity and floral fragrance, with notes of strawberry, red rose, and cedarwood. It is a sweet and romantic perfume, inspired by the feeling of love and passion.
The perfume begins with a juicy and delicious note of strawberry, mandarin and pink pepper leaves followed by a heart of red rose, Indian sambac jasmine and osmanthus. The base is a woody and warm note of cedarwood, benzoin resinoid, and grey amber, creating a smooth and cozy drydown.
This perfume is perfect for romantic or special occasions, such as date night, Valentine’s day, an anniversary, or a proposal. It is also a great choice for spring and summer, as it evokes a sense of sweetness and joy. It is a sweet and romantic perfume that can make you feel in love and loved.
How does it actually smell: I really love this fragrance! It is a fresh and fruity fragrance with a feminine touch, from the red rose. The benzoin resinoid , cedarwood, and amber in the base, really makes this fragrance feel almost sensual. It’s hard to describe this scent, but you should try to get your nose on it. This perfume is very linear, it doesn’t really change from first spray into the dry-down. I think this is a pretty crowd pleasing fragrance, and so it’s easy to like this one. However, if you’re into fresh or fruity-fresh fragrances, you would like this.
The perfume has a moderate sillage and longevity, meaning it is noticeable but not overpowering. It was created by perfumer Antoine Maisondieu, who also worked on Coach Dreams and other fragrances for companies like Etat Libre d’Orange, Burberry, Victoria Secret, and Versace.
The perfume comes in a beautiful red bottle with a gold turnlock, inspired by the Coach bags. The bottle is embellished with a leather hangtag and a gold heart charm, reflecting the fragrance’s sweet and romantic vibe. FYI: The 1oz bottles only come with the heart charm.
The perfume is available on coach’s website, Macy’s and ULTA, in different sizes and prices, ranging from $74 for 1 oz to $112 for 3 oz. You can also find it in gift sets and travel size sprays.
You DO NOT have to buy fragrances at retail price. Currently you can get the 3oz tester of this perfume for $45 on Jomashop or $70 on FragranceX. That’s ALOT cheaper than $112.

Tips On How To Pick The Best Perfume
Here are some general tips on how to choose the best perfume for yourself:
- Test the perfume on your skin, not on a paper strip. Your skin chemistry can affect how the perfume smells on you, and it can also change over time.
- Sample different options before you buy. Don’t rush into buying the first perfume you like, as you might find something better later. Try to sample at least three perfumes at a time, and compare them on your wrists or elbows.
- Trust your instincts. Don’t let the price, the brand, or the reviews influence your decision. The best perfume for you is the one that makes you feel good and confident.
