Floral
There are two roses in Coach Floral Eau de Parfum and they are doing different jobs, which is the most interesting thing about it.
Its eight materials are recorded together rather than split across tiers. Tea rose is the lighter and greener treatment, delicate and slightly dusty, while rose itself is fuller and deeper, and between them the flower is present at two different volumes at once. Pink pepper sharpens the opening with a dry, rosy heat, and pineapple supplies a tart, juicy sweetness that is the one properly unexpected material here. Tea runs through the middle of it, dry and faintly bitter and far more like loose leaves than a drink, with sambac jasmine adding heady richness and gardenia a creamy, green weight. Patchouli is the only dark material in the list and it anchors everything else in damp earth.
Natalie Gracia-Cetto and Shyamala Maisondieu composed it between them. The result is a floral with far more texture than its name suggests, and the tea is a large part of the reason why.
At eau de parfum strength expect a good part of the day from it, with the fruit and pepper burning off early and the flowers and patchouli carrying the rest. It suits spring and summer, daytime more than night, and it is aimed at women. Anyone who finds rose scents either too sweet or too austere should find this one lands between the two, because the pineapple and the tea pull it in opposite directions.
The house began in 1941 as a New York workshop for leather goods and is today part of Tapestry. Scent is not made in house; the licence sat with Estee Lauder until 2016 and has been with Interparfums ever since.
