Fragrance Notes
Blue
Five materials and no attempt at a long story: Coach Blue Eau de Toilette is a short, sharp men's scent, and it is better for knowing what it is.
Lime leads, zesty and bitter rather than sweet, and absinthe sits immediately behind it with a green, herbal, faintly aniseed bitterness that is the most distinctive thing in the bottle. Black pepper adds a dry crackle on top, which keeps the opening from reading as a simple citrus. Those three together make a brisk, slightly austere start. Underneath, cedarwood gives the scent its spine, dry and clean with the smell of a newly opened cedar drawer, and amber supplies a dry golden sweetness that softens the herbs and stops the whole thing turning bitter. There is nothing else in it, and the composition holds its shape from the first spray to the last hour rather than developing through stages.
An eau de toilette carries less oil than a parfum strength scent, so expect four or five hours and moderate projection, which is appropriate for something this bracing. Spray it generously and reapply in the afternoon if you want it there at six o'clock. It suits spring and summer, daytime, work and the gym, and it is an easy scent to wear in close company because it never turns heavy or sweet. It is marketed to men and wears that way. It was released in 2020.
Coach began in New York in 1941 as a leather goods maker, known for glovetanned leather and for its horse and carriage mark, and it now sits within the Tapestry group. Its fragrances are made under licence, by Estee Lauder until 2016 and by Interparfums since then, with Coach Signature and Coach Poppy among the earlier scents to carry the name.
