Inspire Ellen Tracy for women

nice average everyday white floral, with longevity of about 4 hours on me. nothing outstanding or new, just a good day and work scent. very sweet from the white florals especially the gardenia and a very slight scent of lemon at the end. the bottle is a bit annoying as its top heavy and it tips over often.
6 out of 10.

Ellen Tracy INSPIRE is a perfect example of why buying fragrance for people as gifts is a dangerous undertaking, as likely to be appreciated as it is to be regretted. INSPIRE is a well-balanced floral composition to my nose. The problem is that it contains the rendition of peony that makes me feel rather ill at ease whenever I encounter it. I suspect that I may have an allergy to this particular peony, though I do not blow up like a balloon and turn bright pink when it hits my skin, as my sister who is severely allergic to seafood does if she even gets near someone who has seafood on their plate. Slipping her a "fish micky" could literally kill her--that's how allergic she is.

Although I definitely do not at this point need Poison Control, I cannot wear this peony. I am confident that INSPIRE would be a fine choice for those who already love and wear peony frags. But better to do some covert boudoir research before gifting this one blind.

Its a daytime scent, very clean and ladylike but more citrus than fruity floral in my opinion. I prefer Happy Fizz for citrus because this one faded in three hours and it changed on my skin as the day wore on. It is very sharp in my opinion. People say that this is hard to find, I found it in New York on discount at a perfume store. I bought 4 perfumes and they offered me one more with 50% off and I chose this one. I don't like Ellen Tracy's fashion wear but I try not to hold that against the scent.

Inspire is quite pleasant a nice fruity floral everyday smell for when you don't want to stand out or offend others. Crisp, flowery, fresh . . . like many others. A linear citrusy floral bouquet that has renicarnated time and time again. Not only in perfumery, but I'm also talking car fresheners, hand sanitizers, shampoos, etc etc

And I agree with barbiot; there is a little bit of bitterness on my skin as well. I think this comes from the combination of sour citrus with spicy carnation with juicy melon. Not terrible, but a little bit distracting.

Anyway, Inspire isn't very bad, but as far as unoffensive florals go, there are so many options that IMHO there are better ones out there.

This is a real crisp floral. Very sweet. I love it a lot. Its one of my favorites in the Ellen Tracy Collection.

Inspire is a very lovely, smooth, fresh, clean, floral / fruity scent which to me stands out head & shoulders above a lot of more run-of-the-mill floral scents. I'm not normally a big fan of floral perfumes but I really love this because it isn't overdone and is less generic than many other florals such as Pleasures (bleeurgh!).

I think there's something quite special about this perfume. It's subtle but has great staying power and is one of those perfumes which I get a slight whiff of every time I move around and which surprises me with its loveliness. I wonder what the nice smell is and then I realize it's me! I wish it was more easily available to get hold of in England though (*if anyone knows where to get it from in the UK please let me know!!).

Inspire is a REALLY nice scent and I love it. :-))

It smells something "bitter" i think:( This note doesn't accord with it's floral notes and even it covers them with a "bitter" layer... I was ordered it without having smelled and i'm really disappointed:(

This is not a usual style for me, but , I like it! The fragrance has all sorts of notes and combinations to be palate pleasing! The white flower notes produce a sensation of carrying a boquet or wearing an expensive corsage.
The honeysuckle is very pure-exactly how I remember the wild honeysuckle growing in my home town.The melon is actually juicy, lightly sweet, and combined with the lemon, it produces a touch of fresh zing! In this perfume, you can smell the notes individually, and you can smell different combinations of all the notes with each breath! The sandalwood and musk basenotes are not pronounced.
