Electrify Me

Make Me Wonder WAS my favorite from Avon's ME line, but Electrify Me has changed that! This has something the other ME scents do not: Pizazz!! Do not let the fact of who makes it let you judge it prematurely...sure it is mostly synthetic, but for what it is and how much it costs-it's a winner! This begins with a bright and very cold blueberry scent. I love anything blueberry, (so maybe I'm biased) but this is so different from any other ME scents so far. The inclusion of the pepper (PR says Pink) adds subtle spicy warmth to this (a la Burberry's The Beat for women)and takes the cold frosty edge off the berries. The melted carmelized sugar adds a sweetness that is more gourmand than cloying; and somehow, with the addition of some white wood rounds this out really well. There is nothing overtly electric about this perfume(ozone, etc...) but it is a shock to the nose at first(the olfactive equivalent of a contact discharge from static electricity) and I really like this A LOT, yet for some reason would not wear it or buy it. Smelling it on my Mom as she flits about the house is pleasant enough for me...Kudos Avon for something new and exciting! Sillage: very good Longevity: good Overall: 4/5 As this perfume lingers on the skin, the synthetic "frozen" feel melts and it warms wonderfully with the subtle pepper and warm sugar to melt into the skin in a wonderful glaze that smells good enough to eat (or at least lick) and is sexy, despite the overly youthful floral fruity beginning. YUMMY!!

I went looking on fleabay before posting this and was ASTOUNDED to see how the price has skyrocketed, not unusual for a discontinued fragrance I suppose but also truly a testament to how deliciously wonderful this homage to BLUEBERRY truly is. I wear Electrify Me only in summer but really love how the pepper mitigates the syrupy sweetness of blueberry and gives it a nice, tart bite more reminiscent of fresh blueberries than blueberry candy. The woody notes provide an excellent foundation and become evident shortly after applying, softening the fruity aspects or rather, giving the mix some "bones" -- you know: something solid yet ephemeral underneath the light freshness of the blueberries... The woods are there but you can't quite put your finger on what makes this so special until you read the list and see the woody notes there. Vanilla? None that my nose detects. Well worth it at $20 or less for a bottle but the longevity is too brief (2-3 hours) to justify the price it currently commands. Still, worth waiting for if you can find someone selling a bottle for a good price.

Ordinarily I dislike the smell of black peppers except in food. I never thought I’d like a combination of blueberries and peppers but I must admit my curiosity got the better of me. I purchased this perfume with much hesitation and after receiving it, I sprayed it on my wrist standing next to the sink, ready to wash it right off in case it was nauseating. What a surprise! This fume is anything but ordinary or distasteful. It is fruity, blueberries being the sole fruit note leading the composition. The blueberries have a cold, right out of the fridge feel and yet the pepper and wood notes serve to warm them up. I feel as if I’m eating sugary blueberries off a spicy warm plate. Never thought it would work but there it is. It did! I suggest testing it out first if you can since it may not be your cup of tea. However, for the low price, if you are a fruit (especially blueberry) lover, I could say it could be a safe blind buy. Curiosity didn’t kill the cat this time! :o)

I bought this as a blind buy from Avon as it seemed an intriguing combination. I adored it and while I have liked many Avon fragrances, they seem to have an alcohol aftersmell to them (at least to my nose). This one did not, something about the sweet berry and sharp pepper hit a positive note for me and as it was being discontinued I immediately got on fleabay and was able to pick up 6 bottles for $25. Now I am on my last bottle sadly. I used to spray a little on my youngest son's comb and comb it into his hair, it smelled delicious on him. I'm so sad that they discontinued this. Now it is 40 to 60 dollars if you are lucky to find one. The only thing that saddens me more is that Tendre Poison was discontinued, but that is another review :).

My classmate's favourite fragrance. We really love this smell. Wonderful, beautiful and sweety perfume. The most dominant note is sugar. The bottle is very pretty and also simple. She love it forever, but she can't buy it, because it hasn't already produced. WE MISS IT! :(

This is a white-hot scent, but with a refreshing coolness. As another commenter said, one spritz is definitely all it takes, because like many of Avon's fragrances, it's very strong. I love the blend of icy blueberries and pepper!

I miss this fragrance. I remember a delightfully spicy blueberry- something I haven't been able to find elsewhere. Hoping someday I'll find something similar.

What a different combination. So sweet and spicy that even surprised me that a seemingly simple bottle could contain such a strong smell.

This is the perfect blend of pepper and fruit. It amazed me how strong this was though. One squirt is all it takes, trust me!

alguien me puede decir que perfume es similar a este? porq ya no sale mas para la venta!

Comentario latino!! Apenas me lo compré ayer basandome en las opiniones de este foro y en la buena calificación que lleva, y soy una fan más!! La usé hoy par ir al trabajo y me duro todo el dia, con solo moverme tantito me llegaba el olor, muy buena calidad!! no puedo compararla con ningún otro perfume parecido para describirselos, es muy único, perfecto para el uso diario y salidas casuales. El empaque dice que esta echo de moras heladas, y si tiene un olor muy fresco, como un poco frio, esta perfecto para el calor y es dulce y muy frutal. De floral practicamente no le detecto nada, asi es que lo recomiendo más para las chicas jovenes. Aparte baratisima!! 130 pesos, como 10 dólares americanos!! la proxima semana tal vez compre los otros de esta linea de Avon, y eso que yo juré que jamás compraría un perfume de Avon!! es bueno no tener prejuicios!!

Just yesterday I bought it bassed on the reviews of this forum and has good rating and now I'm 1 more fan! I used to go to work today and I drive all day, just with a little move I could smelled, very good quality! I can not compare this with any other perfume like to describe, but is very unique, perfect for everyday use and casual. The packaging says it ́s made from frozen berries, and if it smells very fresh, a bit cold, is perfect for hot weather and sweet and fruity, so I recommend it more for young girls. And it was very cheap! about 10 American dollars! next week I may buy the others of this line of Avon, and I swore I would never buy a perfume from Avon! is good not to be prejudiced!!

Es un perfume adecuado para el día, lo uso para ir a la oficina o para salir de compras el sábado. Debo reaplicarlo varias veces ya que la fragancia se va rápido de mi piel. Me gusta bastante y me queda cómodo, pero cuando se acabe no lo volveré a comprar, haberlo tenido una vez es suficiente. It is a right perfume for the day, I use to go to the office or for shopping on Saturday. I reapply it several times since the fragrance goes fast on my skin. I quite like and I have comfortable, but when it's over not buy it again, having been once is enough.

I can smell blueberries and sugar, which mixed remember strawberry yogurt. And there's a note that gives a cold sensation, as if it were frozen. While it is sweet, it's cold. It's weird, I never felt it in a perfume. This is not so much teenager like others of the same line. It takes about 6 hours on my skin, on clothing lasts longer. Here in Brazil, it has been discontinued, but still I can find on ebay.

What a surprise this one is. The idea of blueberries and black pepper seemed like a horrible idea, so I was pleasantly shocked when I tried this and loved it. It is so enticing. It's got just enough woodsy notes to keep it interesting and it's more sweet-tart than just plain sweet. You really never can judge a book by it's cover, or a fragrance by its notes.

to me, this is a perfume that one must be in the mood for! Soo fruity, like blueberry cupcake.. Strawberry Shortcake's friend or cuz. I have used it for air freshener.. It's refreshing after a bath before bed~

Despite the fact that this fragrance is very sweet, I actually like it. It reminds me of blackberries. Would be a perfect fragrance for the Summer.

This is so good, I can't stop sniffing my wrist. I get a nice blueberry popsicle mixed with pepper. I love it. It's great for everyday wear and it has a great price. I've bought it blind, based on the reviews here and I'm glad I did. The sugar is perfect, not too much. Update: It made me sick after a while, so I gave to my friend and she loves it! =)

When I first sniffed this one, I thought of the original "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" film from 1971. Remember when Violet Beauregarde eats the three-course-dinner gum and turns into a giant blueberry? As she's being rolled down the hall by oompa loompas, her anguished father shouts, "I got a BLUEBERRY for a daughter!" Electrify Me captures what she smelled like. :-) I admit, this one is not my cup of tea at all, but there are lot of folks looking for a blueberry scent. Look no further. Electrify Me fits the bill perfectly. Simple and sweet, fat juicy blueberries with a bit of pepper and wood for interest. Not especially long-lasting, but it's very affordable and you can easily apply more without breaking the bank. Bon appetit!
