Christina Aguilera Perfume

This isn't Christina Aguilera's first venture into the fragrance world. It isn't even her second. Aside from dabbling in the European fragrance market for the past several years, her fruity, vanilla-esque perfume aptly named, Christina Aguilera made its stateside debut last fall.

Created to inspire you to take a stance and be self-confident, Christina's newest addition — Inspire — celebrates femininity and encourages you to release your sexy side from within. Never been one to shy away from bold, adventuresome looks herself, this new fragrance is surprisingly quite mellow.

Overall, Inspire is pleasant, pretty, and classic. A fairly standard floral blend of rose and freesia provides dainty characteristics, while notes of mango and citrus give just the slightest whisper of sweetness. Sandalwood and musky notes round it out for softened edge.

The bottle and packaging is rather cool, too — influenced by the classic and modern, just like Christina herself. If you like light floral scents without too much complexity, this one's for you. Inspire is definitely wearable — just not all that distinctive.

Christina Aguilera is having a very fruitful year. She's finally showing her cute pregnant belly, and in just over a week she'll launch her new fragrance. I thought you might be interested in seeing this behind-the-scenes look at her commercial. Surprise surprise, it's inspired by old-Hollywood glamour. Christina has said that she chose jasmine to dominate her fragrance because it reminds her of that time period. Time will tell if modern women think it works, too.

Britney Spears Believe isn't the only forthcoming scent with major star power behind it. Christina Aguilera is about to release her eponymous fragrance, while Beyonce is promoting Diamonds, the latest from Emporio Armani. Both of them are starring in new ads, of course.

Diamonds blends opening notes of litchi and raspberry with a heart of rose with freesia and lily of the valley. The woody trail features vetiver, cedar and patchouli, while the dry-down has an amber note.

Christina Aguilera (the fragrance) is an oriental floral with top notes of blackcurrant, a heart of peony and prune, and a base of vanilla. Oddly enough, Christina seems to be, uh, missing something in her ad. (Do you see it, too?)
