Coach for Men Coach for men

Went to Coach and picked up samples of their women's fragrance line and was handed the lone mens scent by an exuberant sales rep. So, no expectations going in but a few thoughts going out:

Neither grapefruit/ mandarin predominate the top notes. It's what's called a Mexican standoff. The cedar/ oak moss is the anchor (I do scense vetiver lurking but do not see it listed). Patchouli is not really kicking it.

Overall, too subtle. And, not distinctive. Quality is first rate but just doesn't push my buttons. Somewhere I've smelled this before!

Some chatter here re: young vs old. Really? I do not see this scent being so polarizing demographically as comments suggest.

Sillage is descent but I get no longevity.
Priced right. Walk don't run.

Coach Leatherware hits you with a dry, astringent citrus blast somewhat like Eau de Rochas Homme. Not bad for a citrus chypre, but unfortunately it can be quite headache-inducing for me. I just find it too synthetic and unsatisfying. As it dries down some moss and woods reveal themselves. The fragrance, despite being an Eau de Parfum, only lasts about 3 or 4 hours on me at the most.

I'd rather wear Eau de Rochas Homme, especially considering the price.

Think of Jo Malone Grapefruit cologne.
The green and woody base is subtle, the domination is in the grapefruit note backed up by the petit grain. Nothing I expected from the bottle, certainly not from Coach.

I smelled this one when it hit the shelves but didn’t have room in my cologne rotation ( to control the madness I TRY to keep it at no more than 4 at a time) so I waited until my bottle of Green Irish Tweed ran out before i looked to replace it. Last week, the time had come. I went to the mall to try it and when I smelled it I was disgusted at the initial smell. It smelled NOTHING like what i remembered and i almost thought i was going crazy. SUPER shocked at what i smelled, I decided to just save it on the card that they sprayed it on and went to the side of the mall that had Creed. I needed to smell Aventus anyway so I figured I would let it dry down. What a great decision. After 15 mins. It was the same smell that I remembered. I bought it right away and I kinda love it! For 75.00 it was well worth it. Now about Aventus…

The coach mens fragrance is one of the best new men's scents to hit the market in many years. I have about 100 different scents and Coach Men's in my current favorite. It's price of $75 in the store is well worth it. I put this fragrance in the same category of Creed fragrances for men. For men looking for one scent to have in their collection, this is it. It is well rounded and can be used both casually and also for a formal occasion or event.

I bought this stuff august 29, 2010., the opening has lemon ,but i felt the mandarin came out a lot more than the lemon, Very nice smelling tea notes about 45 min, later. overall nice fragrance, reminds me of Aveda pure formance for men. Lastly, the silage was a bit suspect, as I only got about 6 hours, at best. but again, very nice frag.

Its a bit like freshly cut grass.
Smell it with this in mind next time, I doubt you will disagree.

picked up the coach fragrance today at macys. i was please with my purchase. this new coach is as refine as their leather goods.i love it

When I first smelled this on a tester page in GQ magazine I thought it was awesome! On the edge of forty at the time I guess what the others are saying is pretty right on. I can't find this where I live only the womens and Legacy :( and the websites are not much help either but I am waiting to go to the city and get this...

You must remember that Coach makes leather goods and things for refined (and wealthy) people so the light citrus opening along with the green slightly spicy heart and woody slightly earthy base is not groundbreaking but it is exquisitely made with decent strength and longevity. What I've seen of their men's products is refined but extremely well-made and in a classic style. So too is this scent. I also expected leather in this composition but figured that since every thing else is leathery, this was made to complement rather than echo their stunning usual line of wares...

I agree with the young men, this is for older men, in thier 30's 40's... it also depends on your body ordor..it blends well, and yes it is spicy.. great smell... I liked it very much

This is a nice fragrance, I'm 20 and I don't know if I would wear this, maybe in the fall/winter time. Its a handsome fragrance, but most likely will not appeal to the 18-25yr old crowd. I like it but this fragrance has been done before, its kind of spicy

I agree with Jae on this, I tested this in the coach store at the mall. I was so looking forward to smelling something new and ground-breaking, but I couldn't help to tell myself this smells like an old cologne that I've smelled before but can't name it. Coach is nothing new its just strong woods and citrus, more like an aftershave. The fragrance was a turnoff do to the fact that i'm only 18 and its more something I would expect a school teacher to wear.
They should have made a fragrance for younger men then worked their way up the age ladder.
