Open Road
by Coach
Open Road by Coach delivers a clean, aromatic, and woody fragrance with a youthful edge, making it ideal for daytime wear during spring and summer. The initial burst of lemon and red apple creates a bright, juicy opening, while a subtle Sichuan pepper adds a spicy, forward note without overwhelming. The heart blends lavender, clary sage, and cedar, leading to a drydown dominated by vetiver, patchouli, and smooth cedar—resulting in a fresh, barbershop-inspired fougère with a modern, airy touch. It's versatile and professional, suitable for office environments, running errands, or casual outings. Most appreciate its pleasant, balanced character, with many comparing it favorably to D&G K, though some find it underwhelming or unremarkable.
