A couch with floral patterns?
Hi there! Here I am again (... moment... did somebody sigh??...) and chatting about a scent again (... I'm pretty sure that some of you sigh!!!).
Today it is once again about a brand unknown to me. Coach. Am I supposed to know that? Is it weird for a frequent commentator not to know the Coach brand? I don't know. Anyway, it's funny that I often seem to have problems to spell the word "coach" correctly, because I almost always write couch, that sitting thing where we put our butts on it :D
Anyway, today it's the turn of the fragrance "Floral", which could actually encourage me to run away immediately. On the one hand, my knowledge of flowers is more than pathetic, as you know, and on the other hand, I always fear stuffy notes in floral fragrances, which always make a perfume very unpleasant for me. But I test it nevertheless. On the one hand, the dear Parfuma who sent me the scent would surely grumble and bitch endlessly if I didn't test it, on the other hand you have to stay at home especially in these Corona times, where you should actually stay more at home (yeah, even in spite of the looseness... don't be stupid people :D Next week you have to wear masks, but the masks do NOT make you invulnerable out there when you are close together! :D), yes we will be entertained, won't we?
So sit on your couch and read :D
Yeah, good thing I used the right term here... I mean, you perfumas could squat on your coach, but... I'd rather not go into details :DD
A little later, the scent continues to be sweet, and now the floral notes are mainly rose. Although the fragrance list says rose tea, I actually only perceive roses, there is no trace of tea to smell (what a pity...).
Later, as is sometimes expected with such fragrances, it becomes a little bit stuffier. Luckily not so extreme that you get crushed, but there is a small, stuffy-floral note. Otherwise, the fragrance remains sweet, with the fruity notes fading away a bit.
In the base, the fruity notes go away even more, the floral notes become more "general floral notes", I mean this in such a way that you know in itself that the fragrance is floral, but without really being able to filter out the floral notes at this point, because even easy to define fragrances like roses fade away and simply smell "floral" as I said.
The sweetness of the fragrance now comes more and more from the musk in the base, with the patchouli making the fragrance a little more earthy. A nice fragrance, whereby I liked the beginning and the middle part a bit better than the base.
The bottle! The bottle is bulbous and filled with pink scented liquid. On the front you can see the brand's logo, a horse-drawn cart. A pink, leathery, oval disc has been placed between the neck and the bottle, on which a pink, leathery flower, also leathery, is dangling. The flower is golden in its centre and shows the brand name. There seems to be no lid. All in all a nice bottle.
The majority of the fragrance has a pleasantly nice floral and sweet fruity scent. It's one of those scents that don't necessarily have a recognizable feature, because they are a bit 0815 (but just like a well-done 0815 scent) or remind of many scents, but they just smell nice and belong to the good mood scents that you could use from time to time, especially in spring and summer, for slightly relaxed days. The low price is also one of the strengths of the fragrance. So it's worth a test, but if you have higher expectations and don't want anything mainstream, you're in the wrong place.
Well, that's it. See, that wasn't so bad, was it? So I'll be back in a few days with a new comment (okay, finally stop sighing!!) and yes, I'll see you again! Have a nice evening :)

The smell:
The fragrance begins with pineapple (no!!! NOT like in Aventus!!!) as well as slightly spicy and above all fruity-sweet pink pepper. In addition, there is a lot of jasmine, which gives the fragrance another sweet one, which is also flowery. The whole thing also reminds me of delicious chewing gum with berry and other fruity aromas, which I don't mean negatively here, because it smells nice, spring-like and also beautifully feminine. A little later, the scent continues to be sweet, and now the floral notes are mainly rose. Although the fragrance list says rose tea, I actually only perceive roses, there is no trace of tea to smell (what a pity...).

The Sillage and the durability:
The sillage is normal average, i.e. neither strong nor weak, but can be smelled from a normal distance (i.e. if you are standing next to one, but also a few steps away). The shelf life is okay, about six to eight hours, but of course the smell gets weaker the more time passes. The bottle! The bottle is bulbous and filled with pink scented liquid. On the front you can see the brand's logo, a horse-drawn cart. A pink, leathery, oval disc has been placed between the neck and the bottle, on which a pink, leathery flower, also leathery, is dangling. The flower is golden in its centre and shows the brand name. There seems to be no lid. All in all a nice bottle.
Conclusion:
Aah, good thing I was testing the scent. Not because I was afraid of the grumbling perfume, but then I would have missed another nice scent. Sure, the scent had a slightly stuffy note, especially in the middle part, but that didn't last too long and it wasn't really disturbing. The majority of the fragrance has a pleasantly nice floral and sweet fruity scent. It's one of those scents that don't necessarily have a recognizable feature, because they are a bit 0815 (but just like a well-done 0815 scent) or remind of many scents, but they just smell nice and belong to the good mood scents that you could use from time to time, especially in spring and summer, for slightly relaxed days.
