Image Woman

This almost like Lacoste's Hot Play-for girls :-). Actually, after reading up on it and finding it in a TJX store, my Mom bought it for herself as it is very similar to Hot Play with a little more floral feel and a 'cooler' vibe in general... This begins with grapefruit and a fresh cracked pepper note, clean but spicy. The mint in the heart is more of a smooth cool spearmint than a cold sharp peppermint; and the gentian flower is softly present adding an air of femininity, but not overpowering the scent. There is a slight metallic vibe here, more of a lite sheen. The finish has birch/leather, but it is more like a teaberry/suede, than a really heavy smoky leather, and it works well with the other notes. The cedar is nice and the amber is not too heavy either, and makes this settle nicely on the skin. If you can get past the slight floral in the heart, this could totally be worn by a man as easily as a woman. In fact-when my HP was running low, I would wear this; though Mom insisted it was too feminine for me, I found it quite nice. Sillage: average Longevity: good Overall: 3.75/5 This scent is different from most "female" citrus aromatics, the citrus is clear, and there are no other fruits to muddy its clarity. The single floral note of gentian is very nice, and the addition of pepper and mint along with leather, amber and cedar would seem almost too "butch" but here are subtle and pleasing. This comes very close to being unisex-but after this last evaluation, I should say it is more of a slightly masculine feminine scent than a true uni. 'Image' is a very good name for this, as it gives an image of a soft but strong woman: sharp and cool, with a spicy side and very serious yet sensual foundation.

WOW! this is such a hidden gem, I also see that it was discontinued and then relaunched which probably would explain a lot. I recieved a bottle of this today for my birthday and I'm absolutely in love with it, its very summery, fresh, clean, youthful, a bit sporty and it also smells like the early 2000's (not saying it smells dated, but it does remind me of fragrances that were released during that time). The bottle is unusual, it reminds me a bit of a lighter and I like the overall simple, elegant but minimal style, it matches the simplicity of the scent inside it. Image opens up bright; grapefruit and green notes mingle and then settle down with mint and some light woodiness, I also smell something a little bit smokey in the background, I see that Cerruti say it has a mineral carbon accord which may be what I can smell but it adds some intrigue and makes this already fresh and unique scent even more unusual. Good longevity of about 6 hours and a nice moderate silage, it'll gather compliments but wont offend sensitive noses. Its perfect for spring and summer, its also very unisex as well, office friendly and a safe blind buy if you like fresh, citrussy scents. Future repurchase!

Sophistication plus. I have this wonderful, unique fragrance tucked away. I paid a pittance for a new flacon a few years back and to be honest I am so glad I did.. This is a long lived citrusy fragrance that goes the distance. It's crisp fragrance bespoken of clean tailored natural and timeless classic couture with the perfect coiffret, it's a fair fragrance, simplicity uncomplicated no fuss perfume. The closest reminder is the original XS by Paco Rabanne, though this fragrance is lighter it has that vibe. The woods brings this a subtle balance and none of the notes seems to overpower the other except the effervescent citrus. If you are fortunate to find a flacon of this, snap it up, by all means lovers of these fragrances won't be disappointed. That's my opinion. This adds some real class to my wardrobe of fragrances. I also see this as unisex too, though by no means overly masculine. A liberal spray lasts all day well into night, perfect for a long hot summer. If I had to choose a travelling fragrance wardrobe all over again. This would be first choice, however I would be afraid some thief might steal this...That's how good this fragrance is...

I bought this a very long time ago when I knew next to nothing about perfumes. I was stuck at a railway station because there was a tree down on the line so as I couldn't get to work, I decided to go shopping. I was asked which genre of perfume I preferred and the first the saleswoman said was 'green'. Pretending I knew what I was talking about, I said 'green, yes'. In reality, I'm a floral/oriental/powdery gal. This was presented to me and whilst I wasn't that impressed with it, I bought a 30ml bottle, mainly to save face. I used it every day to use it up. Suddenly, one day, something clicked and from then on, I loved it. I bought a 75ml bottle and now keep it for days when I want something completely different. On a hot day, especially, this holds up brilliantly well and stays true to it's roots when other perfumes can change and fade. In winter, I wear it to remind me of hot summer days. It's a fresh gin and tonic that you wear and imagine walking through a forest after the rain has stopped, and feeling like there's nowhere else on earth you'd rather be in that moment.

Very underrated scent. Perfect for summer, inexpensive, long lasting, citrus lemon fragrance without room freshener feeling. As others said - staying long on clothes and makes a hot day very fresh. I tried it with crisp white smart shirt, tried with trainers and t-shirt for jogging, tried on a summer night, and all I can say - it just fits the moment. If you are a fan of lemon, freshness and lemonade - get this one. I can't detect any leather notes, and to me it's quite confusing because I wouldn't imagine any leather scent for a hot weather, but Image is very surprising. It's always in my drawer and I use it when I feel I need to wake up and stay fresh all day. I layered it with Givenchy Pour Homme and it gives me beautiful feeling , my lovely lavender and olibanum with lemon. bitter, fresh lemon :)
