Coach is mostly known for their luxury leather goods. Though, the past 10 years or so, they have been getting deeper into the fragrance game. The men’s colognes have been popular thus far, but they follow on the heels of the ladies’ perfumes.
In this post, I want to cover that aspect, and give 7options for what could be considered the best smelling Coach fragrances for women.
What are the Best Ladies Coach Perfumes?
Note: Some of these are no longer produced, as Coach has changed their lineup. Though, you can generally still find bottles of each of them…plus, I’ve included newer and highly available options.
Best Summer Coach Scent
Coach Floral Eau De Parfum, 3.0 Fl oz
It’s soft with a lovely hit of gardenia, some jasmine, and a touch of rose. All of this is held together by musk. It’s still a floral perfume, but a fruity/floral, that smells really great and has is very versatile.
Coach Floral isn’t a groundbreaking entry. Though, you get a light, sweet floral perfume for when the temperatures rise. More of an easy to wear scent that you don’t have to put much thought behind. Coach Floral Review
Best New Coach Release
Coach Dreams Sunset– I like the original 2020 Dreams release (listed below), but I think that Sunset grabs my attention more so. The only real overlap between them though, is with the pear note.
In sunset, it is a pear sorbet, that pairs with tonka bean and vanilla, to add to that creamy feeling. That along with a bergamot top, makes this Coach perfume have quite a delicious start.
Sunset isn’t too heavy with that creaminess, and so, it can really fit in a variety of climates and is really able to be a daily wear. It is more of a pretty scent versus anything sexy, but I really liked it.
The drydown is much less of the pear note and goes more into the floral/woody direction. Magnolia and to a lesser extent jasmine, with that vanilla/tonka finish. Decent longevity with a moderate citrus. Not groundbreaking, but a lovely scent overall.
Great Springtime Floral
Coach Signature Eau De Parfum, 3.3 Fl oz– Coach Signature EDP is a floral dominant scent, with a light guava undertone. It’s a sweeter type of floral, with orange blossom, honey, and guava, keeping it away from being a ‘greenish’ sort of smell. Floral/fruity with emphasis on the former.
This is the older perfume release, that uses the Coach EDP name. It came in a bottle that was more square and had a grayish color to it.
Coach Signature is mostly about the floral notes and having a clean presentation. Green-ish, soapy, with a citrus touch in the opening act. Signature is a really bright and upbeat perfume, that doesn’t do anything poorly.
What you do get, in terms of flowers is: mimosa, jasmine, orange blossom, and violet. As it dries down, there is some bits of wood, and a light powdery finish. It’s a very well put together and all around good performer.
Most Popular/Best Selling
Coach Coach New York, 1 Fl Oz– So, the names of Coach scents, can be somewhat confusing. This is a newer scent, using the Coach name, as the entry above does.
However, the two perfumes, go in completely different directions. This one features notes of pear and raspberry, going less floral, but still including notes such as rose.
The raspberry here is very dominant early, giving it a sweet aroma, with a smooth suede note included. In the dry down, it is a slightly fruity mix with a lot of clean-ish smelling flowers. At this stage, it is more about the pear with a bit of a powdery aroma from the floral notes.
Performance wise, Coach EDP is solid with 7-8 hours of wear and a good ability to project, without the sillage being overwhelming. It’s sort of deceptive, as it is actually stronger than it can seem while on the skin.
Classic Coach Scent
Coach Poppy- Coach Poppy has been an extremely popular fragrance over the past decade. It’s a very wonderful blend of sweet and freesia, with a light cucumber finish.
The cucumber gives the perfume a crisp and watery tone, with the freesia stepping up more and more, during the latter stages of the wear. The early part of the composition, consists of a nice marshmallow, vanilla, and other candied aromas.
It’s not an overly sweet and heavy smell, the other notes keep things light. Towards the end, it’s closer to a lightly sweet floral with a noticeable woody base.
Poppy is getting more difficult to track down nowadays, but is a still worthwhile acquisition, if you can get a reasonable price.
Best Smelling Coach Perfume
Poppy Wild Flower
Wild Flower kicks off with some juicy mandarin orange and peach. These top notes are surrounded by a hit of pink pepper and some floral notes. It’s a part time fruity/floral, as this one shifts much more toward the floral end of the spectrum, not too long after the opening.
You get freesia again, with lily of the valley, iris, and jasmine. It’s clean and has a softer sillage, with a creamy vanilla note coming in to round things out. Wild Flower has a warm profile and hints of spice to keep things interesting.
If you can find an inexpensive bottle, this is a great pickup for daily wear purposes. I’ve seen bottles online, as of this update for less than $50. Poppy Wild Flower was an absolute classic from Coach.
Easy to Wear Fruity Floral
Coach Dreams 1.3oz Eau de Parfum Spray– I do now prefer the smell of Sunset versus this original Dreams edition. However, it still is a nice addition to the lineup, though not super amazing.
What is it? An easy to wear and somewhat unique floral that, can be a solid option for younger women in particular.
Coach Dreams opens with its fruity notes (bitter orange, mostly) in full effect. However, underneath this is greenish desert notes, such as cactus flower and Joshua tree. But, what it ultimately turns into is a gardenia-led floral perfume.
It is pretty simple, but has plenty of uses within that. It starts fruity/floral and moves into being a white floral perfume with dewy and greenish elements. Coach Dreams Full Review

Best Men’s Colognes started back in 2013, as a way to share my learning experiences with different fragrances, as I dove head first into the hobby. Since then, I have written hundreds of reviews and other pages about perfumes and colognes.
