Coach for Men

The Coach for Men Review

When a fragrance achieves the kind of ubiquity that Coach for Men has, cynicism is the easy response. The harder — and more honest — question is: why? What is it about this EDT from Coach that has made it a fixture in so many wardrobes across continents? Released in 2017, Coach for Men built its following on Aromatic, Fresh, Suede, Woody, and years on, it has not lost a step.

The Scent: Notes, Structure & Dry-Down

Coach for Men opens with Pear, Bergamot and Kumquat — the first impression as it hits the skin. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Cardamom, Coriander and Geranium. Hours in, what remains is the foundation: Suede, Ambergris and Vetiver.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Aromatic, Fresh, Suede, Woody — easy to place and easy to wear.
