base notes
Inspiration was inspired by endless freedom. The sweet, fruity opening includes Mirabelle plum, pink pepper, pomegranate and mandarin. Intense and luscious floral heart of tuberose, peony and jasmine is tamed by delicate lily of the valley. Soft and balmy woodsy trace reveals iris, musk, vanilla and sandalwood. Launched in 2006.
Fragrance Notes

Everyone asks why blue... because the difference between colour and smell is what attracts interest upon it. I agree with most of the reviews below, it is a bit fresh at first(maybe due to pomegranate), but pimento is easily detected from beginning to end. In the middle notes, it is nicely accompanied by tuberose, forming a sweet powdery spicy scent. I find it pleasant, well-blended, but similar to some other fragrances out there; what come to my mind first are Naomi Campbell's "N.C." and "Cat Deluxe". It can give a headache to the sensitive ones.

A fresh,spicy and green scent in the beginning and after a while it settles down quite sweet and floral. I love it a lot. It is perfect for warm summer days. Unfortunatelly it does not last long on me.

I really don't know a whole lot about woman's perfume, but i know this smelt drop-dead gorgeous. I got as a sample along with Lacoste's essential when i bought Pour Homme. I gave it to my step grandmother because i knew she liked perfumes and had been kind of a mentor or tester for me when i got my colognes. Inspirational accurately describes this perfume. It's very soft and powdery and in my opinion is a very beautiful scent. It kind of has that same seductive softness as hair conditioner. It just makes me want to fall in love.

It s a nice casual smell. It s always a good choice in the "what fragrance to wear today?" problem.

i love this lacoste inspiration perfume coz' this was given me as a gift by my boyfriend from uk, its smell is really refreshing and it gives me self confidence and good mood everytime i use this before i go out side.

the smell is gorgeous: soft vanilla blend was the most noticeful for me, but there was no staying power on me, i couldn't smell anything after few minutes :(

inspiration doesn't belong to the long bottles of Lacoste series.it's more sophisticated and complicated than them,though it starts the same way.
it opens with very strong citrus notes which is really refreshing and energetic,almost better than of all lacoste's pick perfumes.
at this time,I can't believe it's an oriental-floral fragrance.it's more likely citrus-aromatic or at least floral-fruity.
but it becomes warmer and more oriental as it remains on skin.sandal wood makes it woodsy too.
the more interesting point about it,is how the smelling changes through the time from a ice fresh to an oriental warm fragrance!that's why it's suitable for almost every season.but,personally I like the top notes more and I wish they remained more.

A charming, lightly sweet perfume, fruity, spicy top notes. Suitable for any occasion.

this one is very sweet smelling, powdery and delicate but not that inspiring !! in other words not very special

I tried it today in the morning and I can still smell it on my wrist.It is a very lasting perfume.
Like many of the others,I thought it was an inspiring perfume,a light,a clear scent.
I was very disappointed.Boring,powdery and what is worse,that the name,the bottle and the consistency of the fragrance do not match.
Unfortunately,I notice that Lacoste fragrances are not for me.

I bought this fragrance after reading your reviews guys and I'm very happy I did so.It is very nice, kind of fresh like Miracle/Lancome but sweeter, not too much though. The nice touch of vanilla makes it deliciously warm.
03/26/09 01:17:29
I was so disappointed.. in a good way! Packaging and ad was creating impression of fresh, clean a bit sweet perfume I was sniffing from the bottle. When I tried on skin I got fruity floral opening with some spices and after hour or so it turned very woody and just precious.
Only question left, why blue color? It's close to Strip on my skin. Love this one.

Nice scent for every day without any particular character. It's good to wear for some office job - it doesn't distract from work and give you good energy at the same time. It's very "Lacoste":)

I love it! the opening notes are so sweet and fresh. Has the perfect amount of pepper not making it to strong. This is sweet but mellow and has a small powdery scent at the end making it light but still noticeable.
01/21/09 10:38:04
a soft, clean, fresh, little powdery fragrance special 4 everyday use in sunny days! love the lily of the valley and vanilla on it. thanks lacoste

Me and my sister felt in love with it immediately. Although most people say it does not last long, I could feel it on myself for hours. I really like the spicy notes in it. You can defnitely smell vanilla, although it does not get too sweat. In my opinion one of the best smells for casual wearing out there.

it's like a fairy-tale-such a fairy scent,sweet magic!
12/14/08 05:58:53
At last I have it!!!...I love this perfume, fresh,clean,sweet,and soft...
12/13/08 05:33:19
This one smell so nice... for me, its subtle.
A good combination of white flowers -in a mellow way-, pomegranate and vanilla... I will be satisfied to receive a bottle like a gift hihihi :D
For my mood, Its suitable to sea journey at mornings :) ... in other words: its pleasant and comfortable :)

When I first saw the commercial of Inspiration I somehow thought that it had to be a very clean and crispy scent. Then I saw a bottle at my friend's house and asked her permission to try it. Next day I rushed to the store to buy myself a bottle. If they sold this fragrance by gallons I would definitely buy couple. The scent is sweet. It's almost caramel sweet which elevates my mood instantly. It doesn't stay with me for a long time but the quality of the scent is worth giving this perfume a try.

This is an amazing scent! If you love perfumes like Lancome Hypnose or Prada Infusion d' Iris you must try this. I feel like I'm floating on a cloud. I get hints of sweet pepper and iris. It's FB worthy b/c it lasts forever and can usually be found cheaply.

in other words: nothing special.
not very inspiring.
