Coach Eau de Parfum

I haven't shopped at Coach in probably a decade but I still have fond memories of my first few bag and wallet purchases from back in the day. No matter how you feel about their designs -- love them or hate them, I don't think you can deny that Coach remains an iconic American brand. Now, adding perfume to the mix, the company recently launched a new fragrance called Coach Eau De Parfum (not to be confused with its 2007 perfume of the same name).

This 2016 iteration of Coach Eau De Parfum was inspired by New York City with top notes of sparkling raspberry, pink pepper, and pear. Mid-notes of Turkish rose dry down to a base of suede musk and sandalwood. It's not entirely unique but is the kind of scent that will appeal to a wide audience, leaning more on the youthful side, which is what I think the company was going for since Chloe Grace Moretz is the brand ambassador.

The packaging has also seen a nice update that's both modern yet classic. The solid glass bottle features an engraved horse and carriage emblem and several signature Coach design details: the leather hang tag, similar to what is found on the brand's handbags and accessories, as well as a turn-lock closure which turns into an atomizer (you "unlock" it to spray).

Coach Eau de Parfum retails for $90 CAD (50 mL) and $115 CAD (90 mL). Find it at Hudson's Bay, Shoppers Drug Mart, Sears, Jean Coutu and Murale.
