In cooperation with P&G Prestige Products, pop diva Christina Aguilera will present her new perfume named Inspire on September 1st 2008, with accompanying commercials published on the same date.
Aguilera announces that the most highlighted note is seductive tuberose, with freesia and musk, and it seems to her that these notes remind of tones in perfumes for men. She usually likes to wear her husband's perfume and he really liked Inspire on Christina's skin.
Inspire is a fragrance for women, which opens with fruity notes of mango, citrus and freesia, with accentuated tuberose, accompanied by white rose and gardenia in the heart. Accords of orange blossom from Valencia, sandalwood and musk are added on top of the white bouquet.
The perfume Inspire will be available as 30, 50 and 100 ml edp, with an accompanying collection for body care: 200 ml perfumed body milk and 200 ml bath.
The package of this perfume is red, with interesting pink accents, and the bottle has a shape of tear coloured in silver. Its top is in charge of the modern effect.
The nose behind this fragrance is Will Andrews.

Generic! Among the fruit is.... armpit!!! Eek!!! I actually do smell something that is giving me the impression of a dirty armpit. Not good!!!

Okay,I retuned this because the lasting power is very crappy.It smells good sweet and floral.But doesn't last if you layer it doesn't last if you don't. So in conclusion this is a NO SALE.

While it isn't a perfume that reaches out and grabs me and says "you MUST have me!!," Inspire is a pleasant perfume. Sniffing it before putting it on my skin I didn't like it at all, but once I put it on my skin it opened up with a sweetness that I rather liked, mellowing into the lovely florals with a hint of musk that is really quite nice. I won't go out of my way to get this, but if I run across it as a good deal, I'll pick it up.

This is definitely not a favorite of mine. Upon first smell I thought it was okay, although the scent has been done one too many times. It smelled kind of like soapy water, which really turned me off. The only thing it inspired me to do, was not purchase a bottle of it.

This perfume reminds me of taking bubble baths when I was a little girl, so I adore it. It's not terribly heavy, but still lasts a decent amount of time.
"Inspire" doesn't seem to fit the scent though. Well, aside from being "inspired" to take a long bubble bath.

And I have to agree with the post below me... It DOES smell VERY much like J'adore, even more-so than the mix of 'Love At First Glow' & 'Beyond Paradise', as I said before. But just the same, I'm very impressed with this one, especially after avoiding this one on the shelves for so long. :)
05/20/09 15:36:12
It is cheap smelling and not long lasting,smells like a copy of Jadore!
05/15/09 10:12:43
To me, this scent is a slight mix of Estee Lauders' Beyond Paradise and JLos' Love at First Glow, except that Inspire is also very fruity, especially in the top notes. I used to looove Love at First Glow, until I got tired of wearing it constantly. But because I'm now enjoying Inspire, I'm starting to get into LAFG again, because I do recognize the similarities:)

I don't really like leave negative comments but let me mention that
this fragrance is one of the worst fragrances I have ever smelled (and I have smelled a thousand).
First of all the bottle is horribly cheap looking but the content is even worse. Heavy old ladyish floral that made my stomach turn.

No no... it doesn't inspire me at all, i just don't like it, it's sweet in a bad way and the smell is kinda cheap. In my opinion, it better suits to more matured, older women. I got a bottle of this as a present and i've never tried it even on my wrist - definitely it has something what i can't stand.
04/23/09 06:27:47
kind of like the cheap, more floral version of incanto dream. not bad, but not good enough to purchase!
04/15/09 15:11:51
Surprisingly good. No, not "cheap", not "dirty". This perfume is better than Christina Aguilera herself.
It is not so polished as Guerlain "Aqua Allegoria" or Versace "Christal Noir", but very decent quality scent.
I like it also because it is NOT HEAVY, as many "expensive brand" perfumes.
All positive reviews here are true. All negative - are simply "was not lucky day".

Not my cup of tea BUT I can easily appreciate why Inspire may work for others as it really is not bad smelling. In fact, once I was able to get past the mango-y citrus opening,which I thought clashed, the middle, floral notes were quite lovely and blended nicely. I also detected a delightful hint of peach (which may have been the mango) that was pleasant and dare I go as far to say, "Inspirational"?... The drydown is subtle and feminine and fairly long-lasting... Not a bad fragrance at all - Kudos Christina!
04/06/09 22:46:41
I'm not sure what it is, but I'm really disliking Christina Aguilera's perfumes. Both of her fragrances seem to have a similiar composition of strong fruits blended with softer floral notes. The fruity notes never seem to blend well.
The mango mixed with the lemon was Inspire's biggest mistake. Sweet and sour notes just create something that reminds me of detergent. The scent is also really strong, quite overpowering and offensive.
After a couple of hours this perfume had gone completely sour and synthetic. I could not smell a single floral note, which was a disappointment because I was really looking forward to the tuberose and rose notes in the heart of this fragrance.
I'll admit that I would probably choose this fragrance over the Christina Aguilera fragrance, because it isn't as overpowering. I just think it's a shame that an artist who is known for being unique and experimentry, agreed to put her name to something so generic and cheap.

smells very cheap and the bottle doesnt help all i can smell is sugary alcohol
03/23/09 20:07:41
I was very suprised that she called this fragrance "inspire". There is absolutely nothing inspiring about it. The smell has a very poor quality, all I could smell was the alcohol...later it smelled like, like...I don't even remember, it wasn't worth remembering. The general impression was very boring = not inspiring !
The bottle is so plain. Kinda reminds me of Lovely and Can Can mixed together.

The worst celebrity scent ever. I never smelled something so horrible
03/09/09 09:20:50
Tuberose and gardenia are all I can smell in this frag. Very old ladyish and cheap smelling.
02/27/09 02:17:21
This smells like any other Tuberose fragrance. I wasn't a fan
02/12/09 14:06:50
This is not a favorite of mine.I got a sample & it is making me so sick to my stomach.
I have only had it on for about 30n minutes & I am about to wash it off.
Its not very well made or blended & the floral is over wheming.
*going to wash it off*

Quite pleasant citrusy floral-fruit salad. Bottle should be better I think, the cap is terrible.
And I don't think it smells like Paris Hilton or Curious. Very girly and nice. I would buy it if there werent anything more interesting.

I normally can’t wear extremely floral fragrances as I suffer from migraines. INSPIRE is one of the only ones I can wear & it makes a nice change.
It’s so light thanks to the fruit notes & the musky base is so classic & feminine. INSPIRE is so easy to dress up or down, morning or evening, for every season.
However, I wouldn't re-buy INSPIRE, as it reminds me of various other scents; mainly Cacharel's ANAIS ANAIS.

I love it I got a sample a couple weeks ago wore it around, and my boyfriend loved it and so did I so I bought it!
01/19/09 13:21:07
I dont like this fragrance...to me it smells like old lady perfume...maybe its just me but the bottle is cute though.
01/09/09 13:26:36
I haven't sprayed this one on but I sniffed it from the bottle today while out shopping. It seems exactly like Dior's J'adore... even the bottom part of the bottle looks the same.
12/30/08 16:11:51
I got my sample in the mail a couple of weeks ago and thought it was nice. I got it from my kids for Christmas and LOVE IT!!!! The sample did not do it justice. Love the bottle too.
12/26/08 13:49:16
This is more fruity than her first parfume, but it's very strong too.
12/26/08 01:00:45
Christina's first perfume was better, I think. It is sophisticated and feminine whereas Inspire is pretty soapy, bland and not so distinctive. I'm actually quite surprised of this fragrance because it lacks Xtina's flamboyant style and personality, being a bit lame and mediocre instead. I'm not saying it's a total disaster but not a "bombshell" either.
12/11/08 04:16:07
something in this perfume stinks to me,i dont know what it is.
12/11/08 03:39:14
I just got a sample of this. It's more of a greenish scent on me, I can smell the fruity part but it's very, very distant. It's nice but I won't purchase it.
12/02/08 04:11:34
omg i jus got sample like few days ago i really liked it
10/27/08 10:29:20
I just got a sample of this and the scent is ok but nothing special. I think her first one might be better but I'm not sure as I haven't tried it yet. I definitely like the bottle design on her first one better. It does remind me somewhat to Beyond Paradise from Estee Lauder and I really hate that one so If you don't like beyond paradise then you will probably not like this one.
10/25/08 10:42:49
I received a sample card in the mail. The fragrance was OK, nothing special. I noted freesia and sandalwood,not the rose at all. It reminds me of Avon Rare Pearls or Rare Gold(cannot be sure).
Nice bottle though.
Nice bottle though.
10/22/08 20:55:08
First thing i sense here is definately freesia and the thing i really like about it is that the citrus isnt so dominant and isnt the first thing that hits you! freesia leads nicely to tuberose, white rose and gardenia. Tuberose dominates the composition making it very romantic and speacial; definately not the typical trendy fragrance, it is trendy, but still has that something that others lack. Too bad the orange flower isnt stronger in the dry down :(
10/17/08 13:51:18
It smells good in the bottle, not for my skin. To much citrus! It's overwhelming and prickly.
10/14/08 13:30:27
Nothing special,just ordinary fragrance for everyday use.I would describe it as a mixture of Hugo Boss XX and Lacoste Touch of Pink.It's fresher than Touch of Pink but smells more fruity than XX.
10/10/08 05:45:34
I LOVE THIS SCENT. IT IS SOFTLY SWEET. THIS PERFUME WILL BE PART OF MY GIFT LIST THIS DECEMBER. I LOVE IT
10/10/08 05:41:04
Its smells good but not that style,
yes want this.
yes want this.
10/07/08 00:47:20
This is actually quite soft and pretty.
I have never smelt a fragrance with a Mango note in it, the Mango unfortunately seems to disappear quickly and another soapy scent comes through.
No ground broken here, but a nice unoffensive pretty fragrance which I think would be perfect for the office.
It's a shame Celebrity perfumes are off limits on my perfume buying list, but I will wear it now and again until the sample is finished! :)

this scent is sweet and sexy, somewhat reminds me of the new jessica simpson fragrance..i like both
10/06/08 01:59:01
with this fragrance u either love it or hate and quite frankly i HATE it it smells extremely cheap i dnt see what all the hype is about
10/04/08 11:36:01
to me, it's similar to Beyond Paradise by Estee Lauder.
They have citruses, gardenia and orange blossom in common.
Even the bottle has a similar shape.

Got my sample in the mail and honestly I think it is boring and plain. I am not a big fan but I kind of like her.But no I wouldn't buy this and the bottle is really plain too.
09/27/08 16:22:27
Very girly. Light, subtle, fruity. Nothing special, but if I was offered one, I wouldnt complain too much:)
Reminds me a lot Escada compositions.

Just bought this today. An impulsive buy. Went into Shoppers Drug Mart, smelt, loved, and bought. I can't stop smelling my wrist. It reminds me of another scent but I can't think of it and it's driving me nuts. It's not too strong not too light just right! Good job Christina
09/25/08 20:21:54
It's on my gift list. It's one of my faves for 2008.
Way to go, Chrissy!

the bottle is terrible i think, but the smell is OK, a bit synthetic, but quite nice and pleasant
09/20/08 05:19:10
i love love love love love this fragrance! christina did an amazing job w/ inspire! its more floral then fruity which i like because it doesnt smell like the dozens of sugared fruit fragrances out there. every girl should be wearing this. it sure would make me a very happy guy. the florals really shine in this scent and id say its the best celeb fragrance ive smelled in awhile.(i think i love it so much because it smells almost exactly like britneys curious. does anyone else think so?)
09/14/08 17:27:25
Bottle looks good, streamlined and a complete turnaround from her previous perfume which was sort of busy. The perfume, similar to Paris Hilton with a high price tag, so I would rather buy 2 Paris Hilton with dizzying bottle design.
