Inspire

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. :-))

Inspire definitely does NOT smell like Charlie and anyone who thinks it does must have an incredibly bad sense of smell! Inspire is actually a really lovely floral fragrance that is fresh, clean, feminine and it smells more expensive than what I paid for my bottle of it! I managed to get a hold of a bottle of it a few years ago as a blind buy and fell in love with it. However, it's a lot harder to find it online now unfortunately - certainly here in England - presumably because it may have been discontinued but I'm not sure. It's a great anytime, anywhere perfume with good longevity. This is one of my best blind buy perfumes!

this was amazing..used many bottles of it..my mom and sisters and friends all loved it..cannot find it any longer..but absolutely loved it..clean clean clean..fresh and serene feeling..

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

Yesterday I bought a mini bottle of inspire from a local perfume shop.this is the first and only Ellen tracy perfume I've ever seen.the only reason I chose this one was that I wanted to try something new without paying much for it so when SA told me that I can have mini bottle of this one and also a mini of Anna sui love by paying 6.5$ I immediately said yes I was worried about it's age.it looked very old and I thought that it has been stored in that hot,dusty shop for years so it's scent has probably turned but luckily It's totally fine When I saw it's notes I didn't know what to expect as I dislike carnation,melon and overly citrusy scents while I like other flower notes in it's pyramid and musk.I was lucky in this case too.it smells nice on my skin citruses aren't acidic and sour.I can't detect carnation at all,melon is there but just a small amount of it and is well blended with other notes so it doesn't give the scent an overly aquatic vibe which I was afraid of It smells like a blend of lovely flowers(peony and white florals),light watery fruity notes and a light and clean musk.it reminds me another perfume I have and like.oscar de la Renta intrusion edt.they have lot in common but I prefer intrusion Ellen tracy inspire is not earth shattering.I can live without it but I would be happy if I had a big size bottle instead of my mini and I would gladly wear it Considering it's cheap price,it's a good and recommendable perfume.it's clean,refreshing and safe.a good choice for daily use in spring and summer.it's easy to wear and ageless.nothing is overdone in it and it doesn't smell cheap or juvenile.there's even some sort of ladylike vibe going on here that hand in hand with it's inoffensive scent,makes it a versatile perfume.you can wear it for almost all day events and on me It's impressively longlasting but sillage never passes moderate.I thought it's going to be very light and I'm happy to see it's not a faint scent such as some others in this genre.I prefer it to girly,pink floralfruitys or overly citrusy or aquatic spring/summer fragrances If you see it for a good price and you're into light but not faint,clean and simple floral scents with a slight fruity,watery undertone give it a try Edit: I have changed my mind Now I'm happy that I just have a mini of this. There's that sharp melon tang in it which bothers me.it's a pity because it could be a lovely perfume without melon,a very good choice as a workplace perfume in summer.melon can act much worse on my skin and to be honest it's not that bad or too prominent here but still it's zing distracts me from fully enjoying beauty of delicately sweet refreshing scent of flowers-citrusfruits-musk.I'm going to use up my mini though and considering how longlasting it is,even this tiny bottle can serve for couples of wearings
