The leather goods maker Coach's first perfume Perfume is not the main line of business for the company Coach New York. Indeed, it specializes rather in leather goods and today enjoys significant renown for its excellent leatherwork.
Coach was, above all, a great leather goods house that built its success on worn, patinated designs created in a contemporary and lively spirit, reflecting today's America, and New York in particular. A city that perfectly symbolizes the Coach spirit, a city that would become the very symbol of the house's first perfume, Coach Eau de Parfum, released in 2016 after 75 years of the venerable bag house's existence.
Coach Eau de Parfum, or the vitality of a New York dreamed up by Anne Flipo and Juliette Karagueuzoglou
Following Hermès, the great saddlery house, the American leather goods brand Coach decided to venture into perfumery. Just like its French competitor, Coach did not seek to reinvent itself through perfume but rather to express its style, both vintage and ultra-modern, in a fragrance that beautifully symbolizes its world.
To compose Coach Eau de Parfum, the house brought together two talents of contemporary perfumery: Anne Flipo and Juliette Karagueuzoglou. Thus, where the former brings a highly floral, figurative style, the latter contributes her modernity and fantasy, a striking duo of charm that would give rise to a Coach Eau de Parfum as elegant as it is spontaneous, as chic as it is relaxed.
Coach Eau de Parfum aims to symbolize the city woman, the New York woman who moves through the streets from morning to night for work, carrying herself with a light yet sophisticated attitude, a woman full of contrasts and mysteries, as ambitious as she is delicate, as determined as she is romantic.
A city resolutely in step with the times, the lightness of New Yorkers, and above all, a boundless freedom of spirit… So many distinctive traits of the Big Apple that inspired Anne Flipo and Juliette Karagueuzoglou in imagining the first Coach fragrance. Vogue on the release of Coach Eau de Parfum.
The richness of contrasts between sparkling sweetness and musky sensuality in a first feminine Coach perfume
The two perfumers behind Coach Eau de Parfum may be very different, but they are all the more perfectly complementary, as they demonstrate with this Coach Eau de Parfum, which reveals its facets according to mood and moment.
Coach Eau de Parfum first opens on sparkling notes of raspberry leaves and pink pepper. This dazzling opening, beautifully symbolizing the energy of the “city that never sleeps,” is tinged with a few juicy, fruity notes of pear. At the heart, Anne Flipo's favorite flowers arrive to better capture us with their charm, and we are enchanted by the delicate waves of Turkish rose, gardenia and cyclamen. Finally, the sensuality of the New York woman carries us away in woody notes of sandalwood, before wrapping us in the warm softness of suede, musk and cashmere wood, recalling, if need be, the sweet voluptuousness of the scents of Coach bags.
Rich in contrasts, this perfume opens on sparkling, luminous notes of raspberry, followed by the smoothness of Turkish rose, which fade into a sensual base of suede musk. Coach on Coach Eau de Parfum.
