Coach has launched the 2012 version of their Coach Summer Edition fragrance (you can see the 2011 edition here, or the original Coach fragrance here):
Fresh, charming and elegant. Coach Summer Edition Eau de Toilette is a sparkling dewy floral with notes of Water Lily, wrapped in the refreshing clarity of Mandarin and the lush floralcy of Gardenia. Crisp green notes of Magnolia lead accentuate the shimmering wet top note.
Coach Summer Edition is $65 for 50 ml Eau de Toilette, and can be found now at Macy's.

Update: see a review of Coach Summer Edition 2012.
I was at the mall a few days ago and saw two absolutely lovely, well-dressed little girls, each carrying their own coach bag. I think maybe that this, in a nut shell, illustrates my lack of enthusiasm for this brand–they have that “high end” mystique and yet are completely ubiquitous.
I tend to assume the fragrances will be perfectly acceptable, but lacking anything to really make them feel special.
Gosh, I feel that way about so many putative “luxury” brands (particularly Burberry). I remember that when I started high school, I just assumed that Dooney and Bourke bags came from Target or somewhere and cost $30 — I mean, if every other girl is toting one to class, doesn’t that HAVE to be the case?
I would not care about that if the fragrances were fabulous, but IMHO they’re not.
I kinda liked the 2011 version:). The gardenia in this has me take a step back..but I will sniff it anyway.
Good to know, I never got to try it.
