I've always been a huge fan of 1881 from Cerruti, A fragrance which signifies a bygone era of 80's and 90's fragrances that have stood the test of time. Odd then that this one should pass me by, sure I was aware of it and I don't doubt I may have even tried it over the course of the last 17 years. The fact that I can't remember doesn't usually speak to the quality of a fragrance but worth an up to date review I thought. Now, every bargain bucket in the land carries this fragrance at the moment it would seem so you can pick it up for next to nothing...and is it worth it? Absolutely! I'd describe this as a vague take on an aromatic Fougere type fragrance despite the description here. I think it's a very two dimensional scent in that it has top notes of fruity pear/apple then something which to me resembles a gentle accord of lavender/vanilla and musk.(hence my Fougere description.) Now lavender and vanilla are not in the note breakdown and I suspect it's the creamy sandalwood/white musk combo which is giving that effect. When I say 'vanilla' it's not typically sweet but slightly herbal, I don't know what banana leaves smell like? They could be a factor here as this is very very slightly reminiscent of Amouage Reflection which on occasion has a faint banana smell to it. Generally Image is soapy fresh...a pleasant thing but somehow indistinct and wishy washy. Lasts very well indeed for such a slight fragrance I got several hours out of it and silage is very soft after the first hour. Image is decidedly bland and generic then but not in the way many modern fragrances are, awful synthetics, aquatic accords or 'phoned in' chemical warmth. Image ain't bad...but no matter how cheap it is, I'm going to be more selective.
