Platinum
Coach Platinum Eau de Parfum 60ml comes from a house that made its name in leather long before it made one in fragrance, and the leather sitting in the base here is clearly no accident.
It opens sharp. Pineapple arrives first, cut dry rather than served sweet, with black pepper prickling behind it and juniper berry adding a cool resinous snap that keeps the fruit from reading as juice. The middle is where the fragrance finds its character. Cashmeran does most of that work, a smooth and slightly musky warmth that sits somewhere between polished wood and clean skin, softened by sage, which brings a dry herbal greenness, and by geranium, which is crisp and faintly bitter at the edges. Then it settles. Vanilla rounds the corners without turning the thing into dessert, leather reads as a new bag rather than a saddle, and sandalwood and patchouli hold everything in place underneath.
Bruno Jovanovic is the perfumer behind it, and it appeared in 2018. As an eau de parfum it carries enough oil to see out a full working day, though it stops being loud after the first half hour and spends the rest of its time within arm's reach of you, which is usually what you want from something worn to an office.
The 60ml bottle is a sensible middle size, big enough to live on a shelf and be used daily, small enough that it will not sit half full for years. It is marketed to men and it suits autumn and spring better than high summer.
Coach began in New York in 1941 as a leather goods maker, known for glovetanned hides and the horse and carriage mark, and it now sits inside the Tapestry group. Its fragrances are produced under licence, by Estee Lauder until 2016 and by Interparfums since. Coach Signature and Coach Poppy came earlier in the same programme.
