Inspiration

I can't understand why best fragrances of each company tend to discontinue,just when their beauty is appreciated by a lot of perfumistas?!!and why they don't bring them Back when they see people really want this I don't want to sound like a discontinue hype,I like everything as cheap as possible and easy to find,but they DC just whatever I love.cacharel Gloria,armani sensi,dior hypnotic sensual and midnight poison, lancome miracle so magic, connexion,this one and numerous other beauties OK,stick to the point Lacoste inspiration is the best lacoste fragrance I've tested till now.it's casual and kind of sporty like a typical lacoste,a casual powdery fragrance,and you know,there is not lots of casual powdery perfumes out there It opens with a fruity blast,mostly plum,and I agree the opening part is somehow synthetic but it soon settles down to lots of plummy powdered vanilla..dry down part is just lovely,I love how base note,sweet vanilla, powdery iris,and Musky sandalwood blend with spicy plum..it's soft and feels like you are surrounded with clouds of violet powder It's a nice everyday scent for powdery scent lovers,if you like the notes and see it somewhere don't hesitate to grab a bottle

I'm on my third bottle of Inspiration, so its safe to say that I love this scent! I wore this for my first few years of college and then ran out.. and now a few years later, I decided to go back to this scent. I couldn't remember exactly how it smelled but when my new bottle arrived in the mail, and I sprayed..... tons of memories came back. Ahh. Anyway, this scent IS powdery but I feel it is only powdery in the first few minutes on the skin. After it dries down, the scent is very warm with vanilla. Also, kind of sharp with the pink peppery aspect to it - which I seem to rather enjoy. I'm usually a sucker for Orientals and warm smells, and this fresh and a tad spicy scent is really branching out for me. I'm sad that Lacoste has discontinued it :( Good thing I just got that 2.5 oz bottle in the mail! Hahaha :) Oh yeah - the reason I went back to this scent after a few years is because I CANNOT find a scent that will last this long. Inspiration really lasts all day. Not just a few hours, I mean ALL DAY. Maybe even to the next day. It's a scent that is with you for the long haul.

I have just given in & bought my third bottle of this - I thought I could try & find something different, new, even better? Well, no, I can't. No matter how many perfumes I have, I always come back to this one - it's suitable for day or night, summer or winter - it's fresh but warm, sweet but not overly so, a little bit powdery musky 'n sexy & it lasts FOREVER.....Whats not to love! Initial spray has the top notes of rich plum (not teenybop fruity) & pink pepper softened with the floral elements - I get peony & a soft jasmine, its quite dry & fresh at this point - then it warms onto your skin & settles in a balmy vanilla musk with lovely dry woody iris undertones, that stays with you all day & keeps coming back to you in fragrant wafts even when you think it has gone. I personally think it has the same feel as 'Narciso Rodriguez for Her' without the rose (I'm not a huge fan of rose scents) - I don't mean it smells like it, but it's in a similar vein. If you fancy a sensual vanilla floral musk you cannot go wrong with this!

At the beginning I was not impressed becouse the first phase is quite strong and suffocating. The next minute adaptation to inspiration was perceived positively by me. For me it's the smell of clean - a bit like a bag to put to the o2 (Avon) and DKNY pure and sweet (but not sugary) vanilla and bouquet of irises. As for me, the perfect system. The scent is for me to escape from JLO Live (flower, fruit bomb), here I feel clean, lightweight, featherweights, spring wind, freedom. Paradoxically, however, is not suitable for hot weather because the addition of vanilla makes it smell is refreshing such as blue light. This is not the atmosphere. Persistence excellent. Perfume on my wrist still smelled after a bath in the evening, long or keeps on hair and clothes. Scent for spring season, because is lightweight and enveloping. For the winter will be too light and too heavy for the summer - this is my opinion. Love this perfume so much !!!

Got a few carded samples...I REALLY like this. The tuberose is thick and delicious & the plum plays like syrup, which would be overwhelming if not for the tart pomegranate and bright mandarin. The only thing I don't love is the pepper note (which I knew I wouldn't) but it disappears quickly. Then the gentle jasmine unfolds, and the lily of the valley lends a crisp green hue. From start to finish, it's wonderful. Iris and vanilla will always make me swoon, sandalwood is probably my favorite wood EVER in a perfume, and anything musk turns to soft sexy essence on my skin. Edit: Getting a mini for my little collection as soon as I lift my shopping ban. This is definitely worthy of a full-size bottle, but I think mini's are cute, and having to ration keeps me from getting bored.
