Green
Kiwi is the first thing in Coach Green Eau de Toilette, and it is handled as a tart, slightly fuzzy green fruit rather than a sweet one, which sets up everything that follows.
Bergamot sharpens the opening with a clean bitterness, and then the scent turns herbal. Rosemary is dry, aromatic and a little camphorous, the smell of the crushed needle rather than the cooked herb, and geranium beside it is green and crisp with a faint rosiness at its edges. That pairing is the most characterful part of the fragrance and it holds the middle for a good hour.
Cedarwood and oakmoss close it. The cedar is dry and clean, like planed timber, and the oakmoss is earthy and slightly damp with a bitter green edge, grounding the herbs and giving the scent a floor to stand on. Six materials in all, so it is a legible, uncomplicated composition from start to finish.
Being an eau de toilette it is light on oil, lasting four or five hours with moderate projection, which makes it an easy choice in warm weather. Spring and summer suit it, as do daytime, work, sport and travel. It is marketed to men and wears that way, though the green materials in it are not specifically masculine. Anyone looking for an inexpensive, clean, herbal scent to keep in rotation should try it. It layers tidily over an unscented wash and asks nothing else of you. Marie Salamagne composed it, and it arrived in 2023.
Coach has been a New York leather goods name since 1941, built on glovetanned leather and the horse and carriage mark, and now trades as part of the Tapestry group. It does not make its own fragrance: Estee Lauder held the licence until 2016 and Interparfums has held it since.
