Image Eau de Toilette vs 518 Pomegranate Noir Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This late 90s freshie is a certified underrated gem. Despite its low price, Image delivers a unique, clean, fruity-woody vibe that's surprisingly sophisticated and far from dated. It's a crowd-pleaser that punches above its weight.
518 | Inspired by Pomegranate Noir captures the tart pomegranate-and-spice opening of Jo Malone's cult layering scent well, but the cedar-patchouli base fades faster and reads flatter than the original's rich, resinous drydown.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its clean, fresh, and often subtle sillage makes it perfect for office, casual, and sport settings where you want to smell good without shouting about it. While pleasant for a date, its lack of significant projection means it won't be a showstopper, and the distinctly fresh approach isn't ideal for formal events.
