UP FOR SWAP or SALE:
I just remembered that I have an unopened 50 ml boxed bottle of this scent with the plastic foil still on it, completely untouched.
I wanted to have backup, so much was I in love with this scent.
The bottle has been stored in dark, cool and dry place at all times, so it should be all good.
This is a lovely and unique scent, as my review and the previous reviews point out, and I used to love this, but simply got enough of it.
So here’s your chance to still acquire this scent, now that it’s been discontinued.
I’m in Europe/EU.
TJ67 – :
I used to wear this scent around 2008/2009. I loved it at first and wore one bottle empty within two months. By that time I was totally sick of the scent.
So there is something very appealing first in this scent, but when you use it day after day it gets irritating. It’s quite a unique combination of different notes: sweet, soapy, powdery, a bit of a nutty element together with the vanilla in it too.
Fo me it became totally overwhelming and I still cannot stand the smell of it. I don’t think that this has ever happended to me with any other fragrance so strongly, even though I remember that Eden by Chacharel was a bit similar and I had to gift it to my mom midway a bottle.
Unique fragrance, but not for me any longer.
marishka-cat – :
Lacoste needs to bring this one back!
I still have half a bottle of the deodorant version, bought it at the airport and used it throughout my holiday in Comino (a tiny island flanking Malta). The holiday was perfect: mild sunny weather, a salty breeze in the air, and lots of swimming. That, to me, is how this perfume smelled: warm from the powderiness but also fresh with the woody notes. Every times I open the cap of that deodorant bottle I am transported back to the Spring of 2007.
Ulter88 – :
How anyone could not like this is beyond me!
Blind buy that just arrived today. This is a very soft fragrance and would be ideal for someone who enjoys smelling nice without anything offensive. It’s very smooth and soft and has some qualities of Lacoste Pour Femme – the original non formulated version. If your seeking something that is soft, perfect for warm weather that will not offend anyone around you this is the one! It seems to be a scent that is ageless and would work for anyone of any age. I cannot stop smelling my hand. Is it groundbreaking or earth shattering? No but it’s a lovely perfume to add to any collection.
grandvoyager – :
The best perfume ever!!! Just got a 75ml bottle!!!!! So happy
milfludaum – :
I really miss this scent, so much.
It was all in one fragrance, elegant and sporty, fresh and warm, spicy and powdery. In fact, it was one of the most well made powdery scents I ever tried.
It felt uncannily familiar yet really quite unique. High quality product, it lasted through a great number of long nights…
Even if I am not attracted to powder as much anymore and my tastes changed quite a bit, I would be delighted if Lacoste brought it back. I would love falling asleep with Inspiration’s cloud of powder again.
Even to this day no other scent could replicate the feeling I shared with Inspiration.
RIP, my long gone signature.
Galant18 – :
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
iaj752speagoessenda – :
It’s such a shame it’s so difficult to get. It’s just the perfect perfume. For me it smell like honey.
val1000 – :
i must say the true value of a perfume may reveal slowly and gradually. Not at the first sniff. This Inspiration is such an example.
It’s light and up. Sort of powdery, floral, sweet and nothing strong. For leisure and office is also ok.
The longevity is very good. 8 hours. Surprisingly good compared with other Lacoste perfume.
Aerohopleneridb4 – :
You know, there are many ways of creating an atmosphere with the use of powder. It can be romantic, it can be retro, it can be theatrical and burlesque. Well, Lacoste Inspiration is actually a very sporty take on vanilla and powder, which I didn’t even know was possible. That is kind of fun. It is powdery and sweet, but also uplifting and fresh. It is kind of a weird scent like Hypnose by Lancome,not in the sense that they share a lot of notes, but in the sense of being a bit quirky.
I really really like this, but it also gave me the worst perfume headache of my life. And now I think it has been discontinued…
groovysoft – :
There is something artificial in it…used to like it in past,but not anymore 🙁 I cant sence what it is,but overcomes your nose and make you dizzy..
Igorrr74 – :
My mother had this back in 2006 but she stupidly gave it away and is regretting it now that bottle had been discontinued. If I can recall (I was only 13 then), this perfume has a strong yet sweet scent that filled my mother’s bedroom every time she sprays it on herself as well as filling mine and my brother’s bedroom every time she comes in and say hello to us. No need to go in detail about the top, heart and base notes of this perfume. This is simply amazing. Lacoste needs to bring this back.
kruk_vladymir – :
I tried so many perfumes from gucci to estee lauder to dior
Still I always return to Lacoste Inspiration.
It’s just so natural and so sweet and so classy.
dlanego – :
I’ve been intensively looking for a new scent for weeks now. Elie Saab is lovely, and Dolce&Gabbana Pour Femme.
Still I just keep coming back to Lacoste Inspiration.
Initially I was never overly flabbergasted by the scent, probably just bought it on sale at first, but it seems to just ‘grow on you’ ( someone else said that too ?)
I can’t get enough of this casual scent, maybe it’s the pink pepper that got me totally hooked
Usually I’m terribly allergic to vanilla. For some strange reason I still especially love the vanilla note, but this doesn’t seem to induce any symptoms.
Must be a synthetic version ?
It’s just a perfect feminine everyday fragrance, really hope they will bring it back soon.
seva09 – :
It was nice to use this perfume. After the first few minutes of spraying it on it does have some kind of artificial side, but on me it went away quickly. i enoyed using it, during the winter and autumn months I really liked it’s vanilla part.
Although it was good, i wouldn’t use or purchase it again, it is just not a signature scent for me.
gregori007 – :
Very, very powdery on me. Not an offensive fragrance, I don’t HATE it, but I’m not really liking it either. Whenever I get a whiff, I just think powder. There’s some floral notes in this too, but they’re pretty nondescript. Smells like the 80s to me.
marion_22000 – :
Quiet frankly… this perfume does not smell at all like it is described here on me.
Upon spraying, it is powdery and very green. I was surprised not to see ginger in the notes honestly hah.
Once dried, the musk becomes more evident, but the opening of the fragrance does not disappear.
I enjoy fragrances that are not overtly feminine (among others), so this perfume is an easy everyday spring grab.
*However, you will not want to blind purchase this. On my mother’s skin, who had bought this then gave it to me, this went completely sour.
G.A.V.83 – :
My favourite winter fragrance. Very definite scent in my opinion. But if you don’t like vanilla, you won’t like it.
ate612InsuffBooni – :
Is this a safe blind buy? Depends.. do you like iris and vanilla? All the charges levelled against it are true really.. light, clean, spicy, floral, fresh, subtle, mellow, sweet. I had a flyer from Yves Rocher today saying as I’m a Sagittarius my flower is Iris. Could explain a lot. I bought 30ml from Morrisons and it cost me £5. A safe blind buy.. at that price it’s bargain of the year.
Roszomaha – :
do you think it’s a safe blind buy???
Aerohoplenerikju – :
I love this scent! It was given to me as a gift way back and I still have this. 🙂 The scent is very classy, powdery and has a very long staying power. I usually use this in the office and would definitely repurchase. 🙂
Paraparadox – :
I bought this when it came out, and it works beautifully with me. Since my absolute favorite, Anais Anais, was pulled from stores in the early 2000’s and underwent a formula change (and which I now refuse to wear; I have one bottle left of the original Anais Anais and I can’t bring myself to open it yet), I found a great “go-to” fragrance in Inspiration. I have a handful of fragrances on my dresser right now, and my Inspiration is almost used up, and I was surprised to hear that it is discontinued! What a shame. Inspiration was a beautiful fragrance. It wasn’t overpowering, I received many compliments on it, and I thought it was very nicely balanced. It lasted throughout the day and could be worn all year. Just my luck…boo! I wish Lacoste would bring it back!
valera-chernyj – :
Fresh, fresh, fresh. Springtime and new beginnings. This fragrance says all of that and then some. I used up this whole bottle like five years ago and I miss it dearly! I remember that I had smelled it in one of those magazine samples that you open up and are supposed to rub on your wrist. That was enough for me. It was my must have in the spring of 2007. At the time, it was a splurge for me (as it was a bigger bottle and more expensive), but I never regretted it. It was my signature fragrance of the time and I will always love it!
kil123 – :
This one is such a nice scent,completely well done and long lasting A color of the bottle just perfectly dresses up the perfume Sweat Heaven,was I thinking after the first sniff of it It can be classed to lite oriental floral ,I enjoyed wear it on cold summer here in Sweden.Crispy and spicy,easy and simple scent Just a cloud of joy and free air I just want more of it Classy from Lacoste
PrinceofWar – :
I can’t believe that this is a backstage perfume, and other Lacoste perfumes are taking its place!
It’s the only scent I used for years and I didn’t get tired of.
I always keep repurchasing it!
It’s a wonderful scent, I can’t even describe how much I love this perfume.
It’s so sophisticated, like you can not believe , and I’ve never came across something that smells even close to this.
It’s vanillary but at the same time fruity, the combination is amazing in this one.
Such a well done perfume,great staying power,nice sillage.
It’s a must have for those people who don’t like too vanillary or too fruity scents. 🙂
BEST LACOSTE PERFUME EVER.
Grey_Vlad – :
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!
myjsus – :
It’s fresh and clean but doesn’t stay long on me.
pro4gamer – :
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 !!!
GOD83 – :
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.
svat600 – :
This is ultimately likeable! I sniff it and think: holiday!!!! Bought it once before taking a break from the ever so moody danish weather and jetting off to Barcelona with my husband-to-be: it blended perfectly into the picture. It lives up to its name 100% and makes one feel inspired and energized enough to get out there and try smth new., change a scenery. Incredibly fresh, quite girlie without being tacky or barbie-like, not too shalp or alcohol-ey like so many summer scents out there, but rather like a sip of freshly pressed multifruit shake on ice, and I truly loved every second of using it. Having gone through a 50ml bottle I do need a break from it, but will most definitely revisit, probably more than once.
Meega441Bessinepome – :
Really like this scent of lacoste.This is my favorite, I feel confident wearing this scent. Really an inspiration.
sanchous1977 – :
This is my favourite Lacoste perfume.
I LOVE IT, I got it at first as a present,and I fell in love with it.
It sucks I can get this one only online.
I repurchased this one already like 3 times,I miss this one alot, and probably would repurchase it again. 🙂
scorik – :
I think this scent is supposed to be fresh, clean and energetic. Although it’s fresh, soft, feminine, shy sweet and not too loud, different kind of ingredient that I can’t explain gives me headache. Once I smell this scent anywhere outside, I can’t feel fine rest of the day.
HHamkewsN – :
Another beautiful scent from Lacoste. Fresh, clean, feminine, you can’t go wrong with this one.
cjg122Unlogrere – :
Spice, pepper, a bit vanillic. Why I could detect clove and cinnamon, although not listed in the notes? Oriental-fresh if there’s some kind of olfactory groups…
tyh593Negeltzex – :
i want to have it…cant get out my eyes from the bottle. what s more is not the usual sporty line from lacoste , tatally different what this brand represents.
it s a pity that most of the pretty bottles are for women -OK there are some exceptions to the rules –
10/9…
Mepea353JeomiWogkig – :
i bought this as it smells amazing on my friend, but when i use it the only note i can smell is heavy flowery tuberose! why does it not smell so lovely on me? 🙁
has – :
I Really like this!!! It’s amazing.. If you want to smell like vanilla but no like other fragrances, this is what you’re looking for!! I’m in love with this! it’s so easy to wear!
Ticathuch – :
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.
Bride – :
I had a bottle, finally I sold it. I got it from a friend and at first I liked it, I was even surprised the fragrance wasn’t bad (Lacoste brings sporty clothes to my mind). The bottle looked sporty and cheap and what was inside was above my expectations. Unfortunately, after 2 days of wearing it I got bored.
I remember it’s a casual scent. Can’t tell much about notes now – I’ve already forgotten how it smelled like – and I’m into orientals so it really was an-easy- to-forget type of smell. Perhaps it was a bit herbal in the beginning?
marishka-cat – :
One of those scents that you may say WOW at the first moment but get bored after wearing for 1 month or two.
A typical nice smelling perfume for young girls , the opening is a little artificial but in general it is an OK scent.
alexSTyol1 – :
Inspiration’s bottle suggests something with far less character than what emerges from the atomizer. The top abounds with vanilla and plum, which transitions into a soft tuberose, lily, and jasmine. Studding each of these notes is an abstract melange of pink pepper, orange, and pomegranate. Everything rests on a rather staid sandalwood base. The effect is cheery, bright, and full-bodied. This is decidedly feminine, in the less-sueded tradition of Obsession Night by Calvin Klein. I appreciate the fragrance for what it is, although I wonder if it couldn’t do more to stand apart from an incredibly crowded genre of fruity florals.
VedeUnsendy – :
It was my jeans-and-white-T summer fragrance.
Feminine, sweet and light. I would describe it as herbal vanilla. Its staying power could have been better as for EDP, usually 4 hours tops.
It used to get quite dusty and powdery in the dry down, which was a bit tiring. I got bored of it quite fast.

unfaraHaf – :
I have mixed feelings about this fragrance. I sometimes like and sometimes don’t. It really depends on the day and mood.
bbj – :
I like this perfume very much, it´s very refreshing and delicate, but I´t doesn’t last even half an hour! literally vanishes after a few minutes, I’m very disappointed!
VALTER-lol – :
My favorite perfume to date. I bought this for my birthday, and I wasn’t disappointed! Lovely feminine scent that makes me think of a first date. Powdery, spicy and vibrant is what I would describe the scent. Once it settles after a while, it strikes an image of chocolate and flowers in my mind. 🙂 I would beg to disagree with the “chemical” smell that some users have said because it disappears and leaves a that sweet, beautiful scent without being overpowering to my nose.
zelendr – :
To me, inspiration is a less cloying and a bearable version of Calvin Klein Obsession Night. They both have this fresh powdery creamy citrus opening and settle down in an oriental with vanilla. Were I find Obsession Night annoying and harsh, I think inspiration is light and neat. A lovely naive little sister. Some people think the colour of the bottle and the whole campaign don’t fit the scent, but I don’t really have problems with it. A powdery pastel colour and a preppy jumping girl… I certainly think blue doesn’t always have to be associated with coldness. I wouldn’t really call this a lady-parfume, as the song in the commercial would assume! It’s just nice, neat, bit clean, bit cuddly, powdery vanilly… Whether it’s special or not completely depends on your personality!
proletariat – :
I’ve given this a try because of all the good reviews here.
Oh boy, how dissappointed that was! It smelled like a washing detergent, something very chemical smelling. I waited for another hour to give it a fair trial in case the scent would maybe develope. It turned into a bit powdery but there’s still very chemically about it that I really disliked. It made me very very nauseated. Usuallly I like a powdery/vanialla-ish fragrance but this one, I would have to pass.
I would recommend one to try on ones skin before buying it cos of the reviews you read on here. I’m certainly glad I did.
Mezga644intitytek – :
Very likeable scent! Its fresh ,polite and very soft without being boring.
It is quite expensive though, for that prize i can get better perfumes – but I do think its absolutely lovely .
yurayura – :
I really love this perfum, very original, soft, it give me hope and life, thank you LACOSTE
fortunated – :
I bought it today since I liked it on my friend and decided to smell like her since we don’t see each other very often 🙂 It is a nice perfume, but I still don’t understand why it goes in blue box..it is powdery and it has warm and pepper notes, some tense notes of vanilla, though really pleasant…but generally I won’t get back to this one again.
Aerohoplenerixvv – :
i think its a brilliant smell! it’s just like a good cashmere sweater- underrated, but once you wear it it becomes a part of you, makes you feel cosy and pretty. it is a great scent for every day as well as for those special moments and the bottle is lovely:)
@orangepoppy- i think that the blue juice is supposed to signify calm and tranquility, very appropriate imo. x
Ruimiitatte – :
I didn’t get any fruit notes in this one but Just fluffy floral powdery vanilla. It is nice but nothing intriguing. It should be safe to give someone as a gift.
andr865 – :
well, i think it’s different to everyone. to me Inspiration is vanilla/citrus/musk at first. and then becomes powdery and long lasting. i hate the first sniff but later it has a good smell.
pilligrim – :
I always come back to give this one a sniff, though I probably won’t buy it. The pink pepper is very prominent straight away and it’s very ‘clean’ and aquatic at the same time without being unfriendly. I think it makes a nice young summer scent.
Empampnub – :
i do not know what to say about this one, is a fresh vanilla spicy scent i think…., but in fact this perfume doesn’t inspire me anything i find this flat anoing but is only a personal opinion
wilig – :
This perfume is really DELICIOUS!!! everyone in my family loves it!! When I use it on my wrist I smell it constantly because it makes my feel very happy 🙂 It´s soft, young and It feels very clean.
Cyrax – :
To my nose, nauseating. Powdery and vanilla are ok, but mixed next to the opening notes . . . pomegranate, plum, and pink pepper. Eugh, that combination turns the consistency of the scent into a gourmand syrup that, to my personal taste, is overwhelming and headache-inducing. I don’t think I could get over that initial fruity-peppery-cavity blast to the florals in the heart.
Really, Inspiration isn’t as uninspired as many others, but to my perfume preferences, an easy dislike.
daulet20 – :
This perfume is amazing!! I don’t usually buy the same scent twice but with this one I just couldn’t resist. I think it will be my signiture for ever! It is so me, I really fell like it defines me like no other fragrance I’ve ever tried on.It makes me feel like I could wear it anyplace, and anytime…I find it perfect for me!
Adelirium – :
I really like this scent. It is soft, powdery and sweet. Very feminine and sexy. I just bought my second bottle of this.
bodik_pr – :
Ohhhh my God, this perfume is AMAZING!!!! It was my first fragance and it will always be a special one!!! Smells really really good, Soft but long lasting!!! The perfect name for it!!! <3
qol409bedyWelty – :
I like it a lot, it is a warm and cozy smell, also longlasting with me, i wear it now almost 4 hours and its going on. It reminds me of armani lei her in some way, only this has more dept for me.Lovely.
ojr820Unlogrere – :
I find this very simmilar to Princess by Vera Wang….
anyway, i like it…
Alexx.. – :
I like this it kind of reminds me of Hypnose but a little bit spicy.I would like to get a bigger bottle I got the 1.6 oz but I could wear this more often I like it.
tyurin2 – :
Somehow Inspiration doesn’t seem like an oriental floral, in fact it isn’t floral at all, instead it’s rather fruity/citrusy and fresh.
I was waiting patiently for the beautiful white floral blend in the heart of this scent, but it never appeared.
From the very beginning the pomegranate and mandarin orange notes are the standouts. I honestly don’t mind this combination, however the pink pepper which starts to make its presence known after a few minutes, doesn’t seem to blend well with the other notes, creating a jumbled and messy spicy fruit combination which in my opinion smells slightly off.
Thankfully the pink pepper note disappears quickly, yet the pomegranate and mandarin orange remain. The scent becomes rather powdery and soapy in the heart where the florals are supposed to be. The subtle fruity notes keep this fragrance from becoming too bland, however Inspiration doesn’t develop any further. The scent is pretty much just fresh and pleasant, nothing too extraordinary here.
Unfortunately the lasting power is poor, 2 hours and it has practically disappeared. The best thing I can say about this fragrance is that it’s plain but nice.
Elysian88 – :
I bought this fragrance for my sister. I decided to give it to her at the last minute because I was not at all fascinated with it. In fact, it left me nauseated. I wanted the scent to inspire me but I was really let down. But I know my sister will love it because we’re complete opposites…
Dyct – :
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.
Gevyscest – :
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.
sergula1 – :
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.
ZaYaC_173 – :
It s a nice casual smell. It s always a good choice in the “what fragrance to wear today?” problem.
Alkash – :
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 🙁
natalis2029 – :
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.
Sarah_fromAF – :
A charming, lightly sweet perfume, fruity, spicy top notes. Suitable for any occasion.
WE16st – :
this one is very sweet smelling, powdery and delicate but not that inspiring !! in other words not very special
energoblok – :
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.
Kompozitor123 – :
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.
goldkot – :
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”:)
2000Тигран – :
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
fpz185intitytek – :
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.

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 😀
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.
