Coach Floral Blush

I fell in love with the smell of Dolce and Gabanna's L'Imperatrice 3 when I first tried that, but was needing to find a slightly softer perfume for office wear. If you love fruity/fresh spring/summer perfumes are seeking something a bit more polished, something that wears a bit softer - this Coach perfume may be your perfume. I REALLY like this. This is the second time that I have spritzed this while out shopping this past 3 or so months. So far, so good. It is a very nice perfume. An easy reach perfume if you like a clean, fresh, fun, fruity type perfumes! This perfume has a young vibe but is not juvenile. This is like a slightly brighter, less stuffy version of Chanel's Mademoiselle. This is a sweet perfume that has a slightly sour note, but not so sour that I would put this in the category with the "pink lemonade derivative" perfumes. This is clearly more fruity, goji berry, grapefruit, and peach with Peony and Wood notes. Finding a perfume that is in the similar range with Dolce & Gabanna L'Imperatrice 3 that may possibly wear longer, and is a little bit more polished and buffed down. I really love the fruity-ness of L'Imperatrice 3 and I knew when I found that perfume, that there was a reason why all of the youtube fragrance guru's eyes would light up when they mentioned that perfume. It has a "Wow" factor, particularly if you are drawn to fruity notes. It is pleasantly attractive -- truly fresh, fun, fruity. This is a nice blended Monet type chord. Very pretty. This is a perfume that flies under the radar if you are in a crowd, it doesn't leap out and announce itself as it enters the room, but is a pleasant perfume within closer proximity and great for hugs! ---------- I agree with Aislilly's review - AisLilly02/08/22 23:57 This is a great generic inoffensive fruity floral - not an insult at all, I think even the most adventurous fragheads need an office perfume that doesn’t draw questions about why you smell like heavy animal musk or mown grass! Sillage and longevity are not great but not too expensive so reapplication is okay." My Point of View on this... Yes, there is a time and place for every perfume. Sometimes, just wearing something pleasant that flies under/over the radar is the answer. I'm not saying to toss out your perfumes that have a lot of presence and power, I'm just saying that there are times and places where you may not want a perfume that is overly strong. Having a fragrance wardrobe with several different type genres may be the answer. This is just like clothing, you wouldn't wear the same clothing to each and every event, you shake things up - and wear the appropriate outfits to the appropriate events! Even Barbie has a variety of different "looks" -- so why not fragrances too? Right? ------------ This scent seems very familiar - "Black Hair" may have nailed it, perhaps this is similar to the ingredients in black tea -- "A black tea scent. It's fresh and sparkling. Perfect for summer but can be worn every season. Inoffensive. Youthful but not immature. I feel very, very feminine wearing it, and clean. I really, really like its simplicity. The notes are so composed, the smell doesn't turn at any point, what you get in the initial blast in terms of smell and scent intensity is what will last throughout its wear. It has amazing sillage performance but it's not overwhelming or cloying, it creates an aura of fresh, sparkling beautiful tea around you. It's a perfect signature scent. Happy I found it!" ------------ Something similar but with different notes is Prima by Avon (Prima Dreams - the light pink juice in the clear bottle). That perfume is a soft, gentle perfume that is comforting, a feminine vibe, it is slightly stronger than Coach Floral - it has more of a patchouli base, so for those of you that are seeking a romantic light weight feminine floral perfume in this same ranch with Coach Floral - you may want to try that perfume too. These types of perfumes don't scream for attention, but are very pretty, calming, and creates a gentle sense of stability. The body lotion and shower gel are fabulous. I really love that perfume, it is a complete 180 degree turn from my 1980's power perfumes (which I will always love and wear) - but there are definitely times when I really love to have a softer expression. These perfumes may be classified as more "generic" - but they are pleasant and very nice - especially when the weather is warmer and perfumes can become overly cloying. Perfect for the office, these are a staple in my spring/summer wardrobe. I don't think that you can go wrong with wearing these year round too, particularly if you really love the ingredients and how this interacts with your chemistry! Incandessence Lotus by Avon is in this same general fragrance "family". These are close, but have individual traits that make them unique, unto themselves... but if you like one perfume, you will probably find that you like the other also. This is harder to find, but it does smell similar to Coach Floral Blush. ------------- Final Verdict on Coach Floral: This is a light and watercolor, watery type expression of Dolce and Gabanna's L'Imperatrice 3. A softer, more buffed down version of the notes that seem most predominant in that (not an exact copy of L'Imperatrice). If you are one that is used to the 1980's perfume strength, then you will feel cheated by this light wash of watery perfume. You have to change your mind-set to wear this one. If you are in a situation where you are in school, working in an enclosed office space - or have been told to "cool it" - "find a perfume that flies under the radar" -- then THIS IS IT! You will not be asked to "tone it down" when wearing this perfume. It is light enough that it definitely flies under the radar - and won't offend anyone. This is perfect for extremely hot temperatures in the summer where other perfumes can become cloying. Good for people who may suffer from allergies with heavier perfumes. This stays fresh, light, non-invasive. Good for spring/summer -- may be used year round if you prefer these light weight type perfumes. This is light, airy -- pretty. It is youthful but not juvenile. Not a bad perfume for the gym, outdoors activities, brunch, school, office. This is not a statement perfume, this is neutral/pleasant -- but may be perceived as generic simply because there are other perfumes in this same genre. This is not all that distinct, but it is extremely fresh and pleasant - this perfume creates a nice aura...some even say "angelic". I would put this into the fresh, fruity florals - almost into the spa-like fresh type category. This would have been a hit with me when I was in Junior High School - I would have LOVED this perfume and would have worn it a lot in High School.

Another one of those soft, feminine perfumes that I can understand why people might call "boring," but I find it too pretty to care. I LOVE IT. It's gorgeous. Safe? Yes, absolutely. But personally I find it anything but boring. Such a beautiful balance of sweet fruits and gentle peony, grounded by the subtle and comforting musk. It's fun and innocent, optimistic and flirty. It's a spring day with a comfortable breeze, a good mood, your favorite outfit and a burst of self-confidence. Bright Crystal has always been my go-to "girly" fragrance, but this one might take that spot, as well as a place in my top 5.

A black tea scent. It's fresh and sparkling. Perfect for summer but can be worn every season. Inoffensive. Youthful but not immature. I feel very, very feminine wearing it, and clean. I really, really like its simplicity. The notes are so composed, the smell doesn't turn at any point, what you get in the initial blast in terms of smell and scent intensity is what will last throughout its wear. It has amazing sillage performance but it's not overwhelming or cloying, it creates an aura of fresh, sparkling beautiful tea around you. It's a perfect signature scent. Happy I found it!

Went to priceline to test both the original Coach Floral and Coach Floral Blush. I accidentally got them mixed up and purchased Coach Floral instead even though I liked the Blush flanker better! The sweetness of the Blush just wasn't the same in the original Floral so I knew I had purchased the wrong one. I immediately ordered this one the next day and I am in love. However I do feel like it lacks the depth that Floral has. It's long lasting on me and lasts a whole shift at work and not too overpowering either. A very pleasant scent for me!

I loved this at the first spray. It wasn't mine so I used 2 sprays and handed it back. The next morning I could still smell it and it was lovely. It had an expensive smell to it if you understand what I mean. I felt pampered just wearing it. I bought the travel size and used it all over right before bed. In the morning I touched it up and about 3 hours later, it's dried down to an ozone which is okay as it's not overpowering. But I'm thinking less may be more where this perfume is concerned.
