Resilient, rebellious and above all else – free-spirited. These fierce women have carved out a unique place in history for their ability to zig where others zag, and now a new fragrance which captures this attitude has stepped boldly onto our radars.
The new Coach Wild Rose builds on the global fashion and beauty Maison's 81-year history with the introduction of its daring-yet-delicate new scent – one which serves to encapsulate the free-spirited beauty of a meadow of wildflowers.
More than this, Wild Rose channels the nostalgia of the 1970s and is reminiscent of Coach’s signature prairie-inspired, free-spirited floral prints.
So, what exactly does a free-spirit smell like?
According to Coach creative director Stuart Vevers, the scent: “captures the free-spirited attitude of Coach. Bold and sensual, it evokes the untamed beauty of wildflowers and a feeling of possibility.”
Masterfully blended by renowned perfumer Marie Salamagne, the scent opens with juicy, sparkling redcurrant and spicy bergamot, making way for a meadow of delicate wild rose and jasmine sambac at its heart, while warm and woodsy crystal moss and dusty ambroxan (which shares similar properties to ambergris) come to the fore in the dry-down.
A chic addition to any bathroom vanity, the ombré burgundy bottle is bedecked with a matching burgundy hangtag and C-shaped charm, while the turn lock spray cap acts as a nod to the brand’s iconic bag closure that has featured in its collections for decades.
