COACH BLUE EAU DE TOILETTE | FRAGRANCE REVIEW
DSC03196.jpg

Coach have added to their men’s fragrance collection with their latest offering which is the Coach Blue Eau de Toilette. I’ve had this fragrance for about 2 weeks now so have had plenty of time to test out the notes. the projection as well as the sillage on offer from this mid-range price point fragrance.

This fragrance is an improvement on Coach For Men (which is the same bottle but black rather than blue) and the Coach Platinum (which is in a platinum silver coloured wrapped bottle). As we’re on the bottle design, I think it is iconic, much like a Tom Ford, Jo Malone London or Jean-Paul Gautier - I know this is a Coach fragrance just by glancing at it. The deep marine blue colour will be a stand-out, eye-catching bottle of your fragrance counter.

What notes are in Coach Blue For Men EDT?

Top Notes: Lime Oil, Absinthe, Grapefruit.
Heart Notes: Ozone Accord, Black Pepper, Cedar Leaf.
Base Notes: Cedarwood, Amber, Sandalwood

Compare that to it’s predecessor Coach For Men EDT:

Top Notes: Green Nashi & Bergamot.
Heart Notes: Cardamon & Coriander.
Base Notes: Vetiver & Suede.

This fragrance is an EDT and at £62 for 100ml is good value. The EDT gives about 1-2 hours of projection (how long I can smell the fragrance on myself without trying) and about 6-7hours sillage (the time in which the fragrance lasts on my skin before having to re-apply). Which I’ve found is actually quite good for an EDT performance. I think that is because a few of the notes really pack a punch and come through more than some of the others. Those for me are the Lime Oil on the top, the Black Pepper in the heart and Cedarwood on the dry-down.

I’ve tried all 3 of the Coach For Men collection of fragrances and here is a very basic piece of advice on which on to choose. If you love sweet fragrances, then Coach Platinum For Men is the one to go for. Is spicy fragrances are your thing then go for Coach For Men. Then if a fresh woody fragrance floats your boat, then the new Coach Blue For Men has to be your choice.
