Doctor’s orders a two week ban on all things fragrance as I’ve broken out with a severe rash on my arms and legs. They did a biopsy as they couldn’t figure out what it is. I doubt it’s fragrance related as my spray points aren’t impacted. See y’all in a bit.

Testing out a sample I received last weekend. This Parfum is a new release. It's a flanker to Coach Platinum as a bolder modern take. It opens with lavender, mandarin orange, and apple. The heart adds warmth with rum absolute, orange blossom, and moss. The dry-down includes ambroxan and cedarwood, giving it a creamy, slightly powdery and metallic profile thats not overly sweet or gourmand. It’s fresh, aromatic, and smooth. Versatile for everyday/casual wear, date-night or office safe. Longevity was around 8 hours. As a parfum, it performs decently but isn't room filling. Projection/sillage is average and not overpowering, which would make it good for daily use across seasons. It smells very similar to Ralphs Club New York. It's not unique but very wearable and mass appealing. It’s one of Coach's better releases and could be a must own down the line when it reaches discounters. Already owning RC NY, this would be redundant for me. If I didn’t own that, I would have to seriously compare them side by side to make my decision, and price could definitely be a factor.

My favorite fresh pdm for spring time. Love wearing this and had a good lasting power on my skin.
