Coach Platinum

Coach Platinum has a sweet fruity and spicy opening, very pleasant and aromatic. The pineapple and juniper berries combine well, the second adds a soft woody, pine-like accord that enhances the sweet and acidic notes of the pineapple. The black pepper follows closely adding a soft spicy accord. The initial sharpness of the pineapple accord is short-lived and it recedes a bit. The sage enters the blend contributing with a green and minty accord; the geranium adds a soft floral and green touch, and the Cashmeran adds a woody, ambery, slightly powdery note the help boosting projection. Finally, Coach Platinum EDP reaches its base notes. The patchouli and leather are almost unnoticeable; on the other hand, the vanilla is not, it adds its aromatic and sweet accord that makes all other tones more palatable; finally, the sandalwood adds its fresh woody touch. The sweetness of the pineapple drops a little as the fragrance transitions from the opening to the dry-down and it is replaced by the vanilla. Once Coach Platinum has reached its full dry-down, it can be summarized as a moderate projecting, slightly powdery sweet vanilla and pineapple fragrance with some woody, green and spicy accords. The fragrance feels aromatic, delectable, fresh, inviting, masculine, modern, natural, nicely blended, relaxing, and very pleasant. BATCH REVIEWED: 2019 (#08I42I170A) WOW RATING: 9/10.

@alexandrewb - Take your AI generated trash elsewhere please, removing the long hyphen does not cover it, it sticks out. Stop polluting. With regards to Coach Platinum, I think it's a fantastic perfume. It indeed shares the same core as Sauvage EdT, minus metallic, aldehydic and bitter citrus aspect, plus newly added vanillic, creamy sandalwood aspects and increased apple/pineapple. I understand both sides who are agreeing or disagreeing with Sauvage comparisons, in practice they do smell quite differently to my nose, but in technical reality, they do share more than a coincidental amount of common materials in their formulas. Amounts play a big role too, of course, so while there are factual similarities, I think Coach Platinum cannot be deemed as a clone but perhaps a remix, also a rendition of its original, with a nice addition of sandalwood to my nose. Also, no one seems to point out the salicylic, mineral aspect that is the most prominent lasting effect on skin. Salicylic as in, leftover aftershave lotion or leftover sunscreen note. It's there end to end. I do not think it's a super sweet vanilla bomb either though it's evidently there, I perceive it as a rather a smooth creamy sandalwood built under Sauvage-esque profile. For its heavily discounted price point, the scent is a good one to check. For those who have dozens, hundreds of perfumes, this would smell generic at a glance. My honest opinion is that the fact that sandalwood is so well placed under the fruity aromatic note, it renders it different enough from majority to my nose.

It smells a bit synthetic when you first get it. Not terribly but still. Let it macerate (few weeks) and it will smooth out. This is a very sweet frag. Pineapple and vanilla bomb. You def get some black pepper which helps in the masculinity department. I really don't get any florals at all. Although within the first hour there is a tinge of green bitterness that smells like celery which I absolutely despise. So go easy on it at first. This is a very strong projector. As it settles down it heats up and starts to radiate off your skin. It is highly sweet, it is slightly powdery. Yet when it starts to dry down it smooths out with the cashmeran, leather, sandalwood, and the patchouli. The dry down is so smooth, sensual (still sweet but lightens up a bit, some pineapple remains but mostly vanilla besides the base notes I mentioned). I know there are a lot of vanilla based mens frags, esp with high end designers. I find them overpriced and redundant. This frag fits that bill at for a budgeted price. I find this to be most suitable for fall and winter, although spring works. You can wear it to the office but go easy with the sprays. Though I find this to be more of a date night type of frag. You can wear to the club to if thats what you are looking for bc of how sweet it is. Its all dependent on the number of sprays imo.

This is a very nice fragrance. Its fresh, aromatic and mass appealing. It opens with a nice, bright pineapple with a hint of spice from the black pepper and an interesting lift from the juniper berries. The juniper seems to add a little something to the freshness that tones back the pineapple in a way that doesn't take away from its fruitiness but doesn't make it as loud as it could have been which is very nice. The cashmeran, sage and geranium bring a nice aromatic nature that compliments the bright opening but doesn't diminish it. Once this opens more, you get a very nice blend from the vanilla, leather, sandalwood and patchouli that brings everything together. I don't see the comparisons but I get a very similar experience to Coach Green, except with green you get a nice kiwi note off the top. The drydown on both has some similar characteristics to Sauvage but more of a nod to it than what I see a lot of people saying about it. It's not an "OMG this is so much like Sauvage bro" type experience, but like a slight appreciation of it in the composition. Like I said, it's a very pleasant, mass appealing scent that has versatility. Off my skin, I don't get big projection or sillage and performance its crazy. I get somewhere in the range of 6-8 hours of longevity, which is great. Worthy pick up and worth a try.

While Coach Platinum by Coach isn't a groundbreaking or amazing fragrance --- it certainly is quite nice. Especially for being a second tier designer blue/shower gel fragrance. As others have stated Platinum is a hybrid of Dior Sauvage (EDT), Prada Luna Rossa Carbon, and Mont Blanc Explorer. However, more so Prada Luna Rossa Carbon with a twist of Mont Blanc Explorer. The main differences that Platinum has are its creamy, silky, vanillic, woody, leathery attributes which makes Platinum much smoother and "natural" smelling than Dior Sauvage (EDT), Prada Luna Rossa Carbon, and Mont Blanc Explorer. Coach Platinum by Coach may be a redundant fragrance for many people. However, it would be an excellent choice for newer noses and/or people that don't own any of the aforementioned fragrances - due to Platinum's improved rendition of the overused/popular mass-appealing, blue/shower gel masculine scent profile. Coach did an excellent job at giving Platinum a higher quality scent composition and smell. As Platinum doesn't smell like hastily composed, cheap smelling flanker. Platinum is a workhorse and most people will easily yield 12+ hours. 👍 Platinum is a very safe blind buy especially for discounted prices. I would recommend getting a tester bottle for added value! Overall: 8/10
