The iconic American brand Coach has been producing high-quality luxury leather goods and accessories since 1941. The best Coach fragrances for men are just as desirable and well worth considering for your collection.
Coach entered the world of fragrance back in 2007 with their self-titled feminine scent Coach by Coach. Fast forward to the present day, and the brand has over 30 fragrances to its name. Currently, there are only 3 male fragrances available at present, and here we have tried & tested them all.
Best Coach Fragrances For Men
With an array of attention-seeking fruits, spices, flowers and woods, the best Coach fragrances for men blend high-quality notes that will get you noticed for all the right reasons.
1. Coach For Men Eau de Toilette
Review
Coach For Men Eau de Toilette was launched in 2017 and is an easygoing blend of citrus and spice with cheeky hints of sweetness and musk.
Opens with a cheerful combination of sweet pear and a zesty combo of slightly bitter kumquat and fresh bergamot. A spicy heart of cardamom and coriander injects male confidence, geranium adds green floral tones.
Upon dry-down, musky ambergris and smooth suede add a touch of class, with grassy vetiver providing a pleasant grassy/leather scent. Settles to a sweet fruity male scent with subtle spices and sensual musk.
Top Notes:
Pear, Kumquat, Bergamot, Lavender
Mid Notes:
Cardamom, Coriander, Geranium
Base Notes:
Ambergris, Suede, Vetiver
Seasons & Longevity
In my opinion, Coach For Men Eau de Toilette is ideal as a daytime scent for spring, summer and even autumn. Think running errands, shopping, lunches, daytime social events, and even post-workout.
Lasting 4+ hours with moderate sillage and projection, the price vs performance is excellent as you can pick up a bottle cheaply at most fragrance discounters. Also, consider Jimmy Choo Man Eau de Toilette.
Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | Versatile everyday feel-good freshie |
| Cons | Slightly bitter at first but soon passes |
2. Coach Blue Eau de Toilette
Review
Coach Blue Eau de Toilette is a fresh and aromatic casual male fragrance that was launched in 2020. If you need an easy reach male scent for your collection then look no further.
Opening with a striking zesty lime and grapefruit combo, it’s soon boosted by a dash of absinthe for an unusual herbal star anise kick that really grabs your attention.
The heart of this fragrance unleashes black pepper and ozonic accord for a fantastic nose tinglingly experience. Once settled, a woody base adds a touch of luxury and smoothness but never overpowers the initial freshness that lingers nicely.
Top Notes:
Lime, Absinthe, Grapefruit
Mid Notes:
Ozonic Accord, Black Pepper
Base Notes:
Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood
Seasons & Longevity
I found Coach Blue Eau de Toilette is an easy to wear ‘freshie/blue’ scent best suited for spring and summer daytime. Just the sort of fragrance to wear for casual daytime events.
Performance is pretty good for such a fresh scent. You can expect 4+ hours with decent sillage and projection for at least half of that time. As an alternative, you may want to try Mercedes-Benz THE MOVE Express Yourself Eau de Toilette as it performs a little better and is very similar.
Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | The absinthe note makes this scent stand out nicely |
| Cons | Does not project for too long |
3. Coach Platinum Eau de Parfum
Review
Coach Platinum Eau de Parfum is a head-turning blend of lush fruit, wood and leather. Released in 2018, this fragrance is an excellent all-rounder and smells far more expensive than its cheap price tag.
Top notes of pineapple, juniper berries, and black pepper lead to a heart of soft cashmeran, green smelling geranium, and sage.
Upon dry-down, vanilla soon takes centre stage, supported by leather, sandalwood, and patchouli creating a classy and sophisticated male scent.
Overall, Coach Platinum is a traditional, woody masculine scent with an aromatic and sweet twist that receives its fair share of compliments. Also, consider Dior Sauvage Eau de Parfum if you want something just as crowd-pleasing but less vanilla and sweetness.
Top Notes:
Black Pepper, Pineapple, Juniper Berries
Mid Notes:
Sage, Geranium, Cashmeran
Base Notes:
Patchouli, Leather, Vanilla, Sandalwood
Seasons & Longevity
Ideal as a day to night fragrance, I recommend Coach Platinum Eau de Parfum for spring and autumn when the weather is temperate rather than crazy hot or cold.
Performance is pretty good, and with a bit of an overspray, you should manage 5+ hours of longevity with decent sillage and projection.
Benefits & Drawbacks
| Pros | Gets lots of compliments |
| Cons | Maybe a little too much vanilla for some |

If I had to choose just one Coach fragrance from this list, it would be Coach Platinum Eau de Parfum, as it smells classy, mature and refined. If you are looking for an easygoing modern freshie, then Coach for Men or Coach Blue are both ideal.
