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 :)

Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous fragrance. While it's light, fresh and natural smelling, two sprays of it at once can make it a bit overwhelming. Now what does it smell like? The most modern, natural, clean, fresh, soft, subtle scent. A cold glass of water with some mint leaves and a tiny drop of grapefruit juice, enjoyed while you are in a modern hotel lobby, furnished with some unfinished wood and natural tanned leather chairs. It's perfect at any age, perfect to the office, perfect on a casual day. It actually reminds me a lot of No 5 l'Eau in terms of the vibe and when I would wear it. This one is less sweet/floral and doesn't sparkle, though. Sometimes it can smell a bit like a 'fresh' liquid transparent handsoap, but that is okay with me.

It was my mum's signature scent back in 2002. I used to sneak into her room and sniff this beauty frequently. Then it was somewhat discontinued, and we couldn't find it anywhere, but now it has made a comeback. However, I feel like they've diluted or changed the formula of this fragrance. This scent is unique and fresh, not leathery – at least not in a dark sense like other modern leather perfumes. It exudes an incredibly fresh vibe, though not citrusy. Instead, it's more reminiscent of birch and mint, with a touch of light, green-flower freshness. I've already repurchased it twice for my mum and once for myself. It's a beautiful fragrance that definitely garners compliments!

When I was a young college student in the early 1990’s, I fell in deep love with Alexander Julian’ s Womenswear. Not burdened by medical bills and other gown up financial obligations, I bought and wore it many times. Silly as it may sound, I felt beautiful when I wore it and sad when it was discontinued. I’ve searched for it many times and now it seems I’ve found something as similar as I can find. The best description I can use is that it’s a fresh leather scent but more complex than that. It reminds me a bit of Omnia crystalline in that it just smells classy and not too over the top for office wear. Clean without overwhelming silage. A skin scent for me.

I am a man, and although some give this a unisex label, I agree to a certain extent, but this does sway closer to the feminine end of unisex. Saying that, I wear this, and to me, this is beautiful. The amber and leather notes take centre stage on my skin but there is this feminine edge (flowery? powdery?) which I get that gives it a beautifully rounded smell. This reminds me a little bit of Versace the Dreamer, a personal favourite of mine. On my skin, this juice has beastly longevity along with major sillage and projection, just like I get with Versace the Dreamer. This fragrance needs more love than it gets, definitely a keeper in my collection.

The opening reminds me pretty much of CK One on my skin, but after a few minutes both are different. CK One changes into something dry and disappears quickly, but Image stays fresh like a rainforrest with a hint of leather. It does not have the best lasting power, but it is pretty well for a spring/summer perfume. It lasts about 7 hours on my skin and even more on the clothes. It is one of my favourite perfumes, maybe even the best one acording to me. It is simple, fresh, unique and surprisingly feminine(although there are not any flowers listed)

Α great combination of citric notes and spicy notes. On my skin comes first the grapefruit,then dances with pepper on a lovely base of cedar,all the way long. The result is a unisex,extremely fresh but not with a barber shop cologne effect.I always loved it and got it from a wonderful swap-I can't tell you how happy I am! Today we have 40oC-you can imagine what was my first pick for a fresh,clean,cool,elegant and long lasting perfume saving my senses from the heat!

I keep coming back to this scent and keep getting surprised by how absolutely gorgeous it is. I only use one spray; more than one and I end up smelling like a fresh breeze hand soap. But with just one spray it is the most natural, beautiful mixture of leather, something floral that isn't sweet at all, something green and fresh... It smells like my skin but better, without any musk (I hate musk). Absolutely love it and for the price it can't be beat.

How I love this perfume. I love the dry citrus over the smoky woody base; it's like getting the best of both worlds, fresh and dark. It's also sexy in a fresh, bracing way. It reminds me of a good dry wine with citrusy overtones. Many compliments for me with this one, usually preceded by the following question, intoned with wide-eyed intensity: "What ARE YOU WEARING?" It's a stockpiler for sure.

The most successful blind buy ever !! Reminds me so much of the discontinued Freedom by Tommy Hilfeger, but way more wearable ... Clean freshness that doesn’t smell cheap ... I would definitely be surprised if anyone found this headache inducing or irritating. By far the perfect summer scent... I am restocking as I am so glad I found finally a replacement for beloved Freedom !!

Blind cheap buy, good to use after early morning shower and go for jogging, then take shower and use something else :) Not working on my skin, I just feel citruses and I can have this kind of perfumes for 2-3 pounds, so nothing special, but not very bad. I like the bottle, it's very handy. It's pity that I cannot say anything very good about the fragrance.

I recently went through a bottle of Versace Versense and this is very similar to that fragrance. It should be in the fragrance that Reminds Me list. This is a lovely fresh fragrance and very unisex in my opinion. Don't really get much of the leather note but it is very easy to wear and great for the summer. Much more affordable than the Versace scent.

Aromatic citrus and green - and not a single flower to be seen! I think it is unisex but may lean feminine depending on how it settles on your skin. I'm in love with it. I bought it because of the spray mechanism and will repurchase again if I ever run out.

One of my favourite scents. The combination of grapefruit, mint and invigorating pepper on top of smooth leather and birch gives a fresh green scent with a deeper rich undertone and ever so slight sweetness. Sillage and longevity both 8/10.

Slightly tangy, sweet and fresh citrus and mint on an amber and aromatic woody base. It's very nice! Definitely a daytime scent but I would wear it all year round anytime I need a pick-me-up. A winner for me!

Had a bottle when I was in my 20s, living in London. I'd love a bottle of it now to transport me back :)
