Coach Open Road is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2022, created by Jean-Christophe Hérault. Open Road opens with Red Apple and Lemon, settles into a heart of Lavender, Sichuan Pepper, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Coach's Open Road carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

If you're after a budget-friendly D&G K alternative, this is it. It's clean, masculine, and office-safe, though its weak performance leaves a fair few underwhelmed. A decent, unassuming choice if you can grab it on a good discount.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine biting into a crisp red apple, followed by a zing of lemon. This fresh introduction quickly gives way to an aromatic heart of lavender and clary sage, spiced gently with Sichuan pepper. The scent settles into a grounding base of earthy vetiver, rich cedar, and subtle patchouli, offering a clean, woody finish.
