Inspire

I normally REALLY don't like celebrity-perfumes, often sweet and cheap smelling - and too young for me at 41. I smelled this on my colleague several years ago (approx 2008?), and this is, still, my favorite scent! It's soft, clean, floral - but no overkill on anything, really well balanced and is perfect for me. I get lots of compliments when I wear it. The only negative thing about this perfume, is that it does'nt last on my skin, I must re-apply a couple of times a day if I'd like the perfume to last through a whole day at work. I have tried the other Christina-perfumes, but don't actually like any of them... This is perfect for all year around, and any occation!

I was affraid to blind buy this because i hate tuberose. But i bought it because i want to complete my Xtina perfumes, and it surprises me. This is love at first smell to me, very bright and fresh, pretty and sophisticated. Kinda remind me of Viva La Juicy La Fleur. The scene is very classic, i was transported to my old days when i sniff it. I have no regret to blind buy this. I will wear it for my friend's wedding day next month.

I adore Christina and LOVE Inspire!! Its a luscious sweet floral. Im addicted to it. It reminds me of my mother because she loves tuberose. Shes always taking Inspire from me. I love the packaging as well. Its so fun and pretty. I am dying to own her other fragrances. They all sound so wonderful. Heres hoping for another release from Christina in the US.

A safe, basic floral. Very office friendly and forgettable, which is sometimes needed, I guess. I use it when I want to go unnoticed in public and be ignored to the max. It is not at all bad, by all means, but it is nothing special and I will not repurchase it. For the price, though, it's really nice. This could be a really good "first real perfume".

i love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

May have to pick up a backup of this before it disappears completely... the gardenia note in this is divine!

i think the scent is very nice and pleasnt

09. august 2014 I used to dislike this perfume when it was released. I just didn ́t get it at all. It smelled strange to me and non-appealing. However i managed to change my mind about it during this year when i managed to get a 100ml bottle of this (i guess) discontinued fragrance and use it quite a lot. I see all of her other fragrances beinfgon sale in shops, but not this one, so i guess this was a commercial flop and they pulled it off the market by now, however might be a matter of distribution. I can understand why this wasn ́t probably sucsessful amongst major public: Christina is/was a teenage idol and a lot of her fans are probably used to another type of fragrance - more fruity-florals of vanilla type of fragrance. This is actually IMO the most advanced of her fragrance up to date. This sould bring you into the discovering the wonderful world of tuberose and gardenia, white florals world! It ́s a limited use territory and not for everyone, but this fragrance is on the safe side of it. There are a lot of more headier and more suffocating fragrances out there, containing white florals, but this one is quite light and thanks to it ́s limited lating power might be an introduction for some one who is new to tuberose and gardenia mix. Tuberose, Gardenia, mango and a bit of citrus are the main notes i smell in here and the general composition is light and not very much lasting so it can even be used during the summertime, without letting you to have a headache of suffocating you and others all around. I give an applause to Christina for making quite a risky choice for such a perfume being her second release (under the P&G licence). I think that she made this one more under personal influence, than the influence of the mass market needs. I haev another perfume bearing a Christina name, but made by LR cosmetics (german company, who makes Bruce Willis, Michael Schumacher, other Heidi Klum fragrances) and that one is also a different kind of fragrance, very much resmbling the JPG "Fragile" EDP. I assume she had more artistic freedom back then with LR, so she created that one indeed based on her own preference and "Inspire" was the same case. I don ́t smell anything artifical in here, i really enjoy this fragrance a lot, my only complaint is the limited sillage , quite bad bottle design and uninspiring advertising campaign. Otherwise the scent is really good. Not a typical celebrity fruitchouli. Thank You Christina for such unusual choice of fragrance! +++++ UPDATE: It has become my go to favorite scent for the colder weather. It is really beautiful, mature and outstanding from the rest of the celebrity bunch. I have also discovered that this amazing scent is a younger sister of another amazing creation "Narcotic venus" by Nasomatto. They actually smell quite the alike, but Nasomatto is many mnay times stronger and concentrated. "Inspire" is like EDC version of "Venus". It is true, believe me.

I blind bought it despite the bad reviews. I have good experience with Aguilera's fragrances and i love white flowers and it was really cheap, so i decided to give it a try. First: the bottle is quite corny. Specially the 15ml one. A huge, tacky cap in a small drop-shaped bottle. Aguilera got better with bottle designs later. Now about the perfume: When i first sprayed it, i almost regretted having bought it. The first seconds were very synthetic. But soon after, it turns into something surprisingly nice. It was not what i expected, but i like it. I was waiting something more ethereal, but it is quite sensual. I was afraid of the mango, because it is a note i usually dislike, but it doesn't bother me in this fragrance. It gives a nice fruity touch and doesn't turn the fragrance tropical. The white flowers are creamy and sweet and just a bit blubble gummy. Sillage is impressive, can't talk about longevity yet. Final comments: I am happy with my purchase, Inspire is a feminine, simple and pleasant perfume. It has a certain vintage touch, like something from the 90's. It reminds me of some designer white florals like the ones Michael Kors releases. I paid 13$ for it and i think it is good value for the money. It is better than many other celebrity perfumes and better than some designer stuff too. I get why some got disappointed by it, but it doesn't deserve all the hate it gets. It may not be a groundbreaking scent, but it is nice and i am glad i got a pleasant white floral this cheap. I like it more than Truth or Dare by Madonna, the most famous celebrity white floral. I recommend Inspire to those who like subtle fruity florals. I am happy i have it in my collection. Aguilera did a good job. I can actually imagine her wearing it.

Very pretty. But ironically...a totally uninspired perfume. Smells like a "sparkling" version of Michael Kors. But as you could imagine...it smells much cheaper. Sort of like Michael Kors with fruit thrown in. I'm guessing it's that damn mango note making most of the difference but for some reason...to my nose...it smells like Michael Kors with a red apple note instead. Anyway...like I said, it's pretty. It's white florals + fruit. It does smell clean which is my favorite category of perfume. Doesn't smells expensive and won't rock your world. Also, performance is terrible. <--Coming from someone who rarely complains about performance and I'm perfectly fine with even moderate performance. Scent Itself - 8/10 Longevity - 2 hours. Projection - 3 feet for the first hour. Skin scent for the second. Overall Score - 7/10 Not bad. But not something I'll reach for everyday. I have her debut perfume, X Glam which is awful, Christina Aguilera By Night, Unforgettable, Royal Desire, and now this one. And even still....her debut perfume is by FAR, my favorite. Try that one guys! Simply because the scent is pleasant...I voted above with a like.

I like the way this sprays in a mist. It is more of an aquatic tuberose to me. It isn't a thick heavy smell. It does turn a little sour but I think if you like white flowers and tuberose but don't want to get a headache or smell like the 80s then this one is ok. I have the lotion and the spray so it lasts but without the lotion it is hopeless I have to keep spraying it all the time but it is cheap so what you pay for is what you get here. I don't thik it will rock many peoples world because it is a very linear almost conservative smell kind of neither here nor there. It just smells nice not offensive just pleasant. I wouldn't wear it to go out at night but during the day it's ok. If you like Jennifer Aniston's Lolavie you may like this because that is light but linear and simple pleasant smell.

This is identical to Paris Hilton tease...oh man... I just bought Michael kors very Hollywood too and it's said that one is also identical to tease... Well at least I love it! I'm bargaining that they'll each do their magic in different weather so I can have this scent whenever I'm craving it. Already inspire is deeper, stronger, not as light. I don't like light. But I'm hoping to get the hit sand out of tease in the heat, not sure this one will do the hot sand thing in the heat, but if it does I'll come back and update. I'm a Minnesotan so weather is unpredictable. It's cold now but next week we'll be reaching the 80s, so I can try other scents next week! Woowoo!

This is my second Christina perfume, i used to buy her first one years ago, it was actually one of my first perfumes i ever bought and i fell in love with it instantly, the scent brings so many great memories back .. I was expecting this one to be at least equally good but my expectations may have been unreasonably high. I do like it, it's different than her original, more floral, simpler, lighter, good for a spring day. It lasts a little worse, the first two hours it's moderately strong, fades after 4 hours. I got a 3.4 tester bottle on Ebay for 15 bucks (bargain!) and will enjoy using it, however, i don't think i will repurchase it again in the future.

i have it on my hand right now, and i keep sniffing it and i can tell you that: A. yes, there is a similarity w/ j'adore but they're more like cousins if anything. B. ROSY!! very nice. reminds me of butterfly flower by bath and body works. C. super delicate and girly. i can see myself wearing this in the summer w/ wavy hair and a pair of daisy dukes ;) D. ...... damnit im probably gonna go ahead and buy a bottle now. O, CHRISTINA CHRISTINA... EDIT: im nearing the dry down now and its just amazing... lots of character, this perfume. something a lot of fragrances lack. perfume for a strong personality, just like christina aguilera. love it or hate it!

"nice" It's not what you would expect from a celebrity branded perfume, not got that cloying sweetness we have come to expect from them. On my skin the it's a mango/nectarine scent with hints of floral underneath. It's a fresh scent that an older woman can pull off, it's not going to offend anyone or clash with someone else in an office environment for example. But I could see a teenager being concerned that they smell of fruit, which is why it probably has not sold as well as it would have done if it had something like Elizabeth Arden on the bottle.

I blind bought this, because I like her other perfumes, and because it has been discontinued, and I don't see why. I am actually surprised I like this, because I really don't like tuberose, but it's great in this, I think all of her perfumes are great, and different from other celebrity scents. I actually like the tuberose, and mango mix, I think it's great, it gives off this slight spiciness which I love. I think this perfume would be best in Spring days, and maybe early Summer depending on where you live. Overall I give this perfume a 7/10.

At first I thought it was a typicall girly, pinksmelling perfume, but it has more to it. It has the floral notes that makes me feel feminine and sexy. It also has this darker part, the tuberose, which makes the smell deeper and darker. I really like that, because it gets more sensual than just plain girly. I don ́t wear this every day, because it can be a little cold smelling. I like the switch it from time to time with my warmer scents. I recomment this perfume if you like girly and sexy scents. A plus is that it ́s not expensive.

Ive changed my mine about this one. Im not in love w/ it at all anymore. The only thing i really like about it is its bottle and packaging. The scent is just tuberose and ive come to really dislike the scent of tuberose. Its a good thing i didnt pay full price for it. Sorry Xtina but this ones a stinker for me. Its so boring and UNinspiring! Lets hope ure original or ure new By Night makes it to the US and that they smell better then this floral mess! Still luv u though!

tuberose essential oil (syrupy, lactonic, with apricot undertones, it is a core of tuberose flower scent) + new plastic / vinyl note (a little bit). It is a very good perfume (for that price???). It reminds me a fragrance of silver linden (Tilia tomentosa) on a hot, summer day or amaranthine flowers of Catawba rosebay (Rhododendron catawbiense). It's very similar to Michael Kors (more citrusy), Dali Wild (with a sad autumnal note) and Moringa by The Body Shop (thicker).
