Electrify

I swear Paris Hilton can do no wrong. Her products are all amazing. I own every single perfume she's ever released with the exception of 1 or 2 of them and I love them ALL. She may be stereotyped, judged, and look down upon for the rest of her life for really superficial, stupid reasons...but one cannot deny that she's a smart business woman. This perfume is just one more example. There were so few reviews on this one but I was 90% sure I'd love it and I have faith in all her products so I blind bought it on Ebay and it arrived today. The scent is beautiful. Really beautiful. Can absolutely be worn year round. The coconut and vanilla come out on top but are beautiful and soft while not being TOO soft. After a few minutes the vanilla + coconut combo does indeed smell bubblegum-ish... but as odd as it sounds...in a different way than I've ever smelled. I have smelled plenty of perfumes that are certainly in this same category...but I have never smelled a perfume that smelled quite like this one. It's most certainly unique enough and not a dupe of anything on the market. It's sweet but not sickening sweet. And due to the surrounding notes dancing around...the coconut and vanilla do NOT smell suntan lotion-esque. It's more of a candy smell as opposed to a beach smell. I can definitely predict that some will find this immature. But something about this I love and can find a pretty wide age demographic pulling this off. It's certainly not a mature perfume...so I don't think many women in their 60s would love it. But easily any girl / woman from teenage years up to late 30s or 40ish I can imagine loving this. It's very pretty. Sweet but not overly so. Coconut comes out from the very beginning but is surrounded by so many things it isn't a coconut bomb. Nor is it a vanilla bomb. The florals aren't the main players here but they're in there enough that they play a crucial part of the final product. Not the most unique scent ever created...but it's different enough that I could pick it out of a line up, blindfolded. I really like it. I actually voted above with a love. The bottle quite matches the scent as well. This would be a really nice scent to wear on a date or out clubbing. It's a crowd pleaser and I am sure many compliments will come my way from this beauty...especially now that it's summer. This perfume is bright, airy, sweet, just beautiful. Longevity - 4 hours if sprayed sparingly. 5-6 hours if sprayed generously. Projection - About 2 feet if sprayed only a few times. About 3 feet if sprayed generously. Little tip for you :: Spray your hair and clothing with this too. This perfume STICKS to freshly washed hair. I just love this. I'm a fan of Paris' music but beyond her singles and music videos...I don't know much about her career. I never even watched The Simple Life. But I just LOVE that she seems to really care about all of her business and product launches. This is beautiful. Her fragrance line is at the absolute top in my book along with Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez. If you like sweet scents but are sick of perfumes that smell like desserts or straight up vanilla...try this one. It's gorgeous. Two thumbs up Paris. I will be buying your perfumes as many years as you keep em coming! In my opinion...this one is a safe blind buy. Side note :: If you're someone who isn't a big fan of patchouli...don't let that scare you...I get ZERO patchouli in this. Zero.

A pleasant surprise. After reading the reviews on Fragrantica and taking a look at the notes, I ordered Electrify as a blind buy in my grocery order from Walmart. The descriptions/notes made it sound like a scent a gourmand lover like me might enjoy. The bottle had a fun 80s/90s vibe to it, and reminded me of a simpler, more carefree time. I also liked the clear pink disco ball atop the twisting polygon bottle. The container’s design makes it appear to be gyrating atop the dresser, like it has indeed been electrified, and is in motion. Also in keeping with the theme of electricity, Electrify’s bottle somewhat resembles a Tesla tower. I don’t know if that was intentional, but it’s very cool anyway. This is one of those fragrances that proves just how subjective perceptions of perfumes are. My experience with Electrify only loosely mirrored the notes listed. Right after the first spray, what shows up for me in a big way is pineapple. It is candied, but still juicy. It quickly morphs into a hybrid pineapple/red apple fruitiness. The apple is the scent of freshly sliced red apple skin. There is a very strong initial freshness to Electrify as well, so it’s like the pineapple/apple is being delivered to you on a brisk breeze- probably the ozonic notes. The mandarin orange is a fruity sharpness in the breeze. The orange here is the bracing scent of the oil from the rind as the orange is peeled. As a result, the beginning of Electrify is very juicy and full of fruit but is not super sweet. Electrify becomes slightly more floral in the mid-point of wear. I love peony, which is to me is somehow fruit-like and juicy, and the rose and magnolia give a lovely background chorus to the fruit. Despite all of the floral notes, Electrify never becomes a floral fragrance. The fruit and the blossoms mingle beautifully. I’ve enjoyed a few of Paris Hilton’s fragrances in the past- I have Can Can Burlesque and Dazzle in small bottles someplace, and I’ve sampled many of her other scents. Electrify is a nice addition to her fragrance collection. It is not too floral, and is also not just sweet. It contains the tiniest suggestion of Siren's DNA, which shows up about two hours. This was unexpected and is quite nice. If you are looking for fresh/fruity/floral, definitely give Electrify a try. Electrify loses its citrus sharpness fairly quickly. It gets nicer and softer and sweeter (but it never reaches gourmand sweetness) the longer it is worn. The dry-down is where the vanilla shows up, providing an ambient light sweetness. If there is any coconut, it is not at all detectable to my nose. I get zero patchouli or sandalwood. I was pleasantly surprised by Electrify. I rarely blind buy fragrance, and I love discovering a new fun scent in this way. If you are on the fence about Electrify and you are a fan of fresh, fruit scents I would say- go for it! I would classify Electrify as very work-friendly. One caveat: this does not perform like an eau de parfum. I find I am re-applying quite often, as Electrify fades very quickly. For gourmand lovers: it is fresh-sweet as opposed to candy sweet. If it were longer lasting, and a bit more sweet till the end, I would definitely re-purchase Electrify. But it is too fleeting a scent. I am glad, however, that I tried it.

This fragrance is now a deep love of mine! Looking at the bottle I was immediately drawn to it. I love girly and pink things like this, but upon reading the base notes, I wasn’t too sure if this perfume would be as delightful as the bottle looks. Well, I’m here to share—the patchouli note—is hardly noticeable. If anything it lends its strength to the vanilla and red apple. It’s such a sweet, mellow, and pleasing mix. The coconut really isn’t so prominent. So this fragrance is not one of those beachy scents you would find at Victoria’s Secret, or Bath and Body Works. Upon first spraying it, I get the bright and sweet florals, then these light and airy fruits. Then finally coming through is the mellow and sweet vanilla and sandalwood. This is exactly what pink dreams would smell like, if pink dreams had a scent. On me this fragrance lingers on my hair throughout the day and even until the nighttime. As light and mellow as this perfume is it really lasts all day. It’s not a loud and domineering scent, though. It won’t annoy those around as soon as you walk into a room. Rather, it has an inviting scent that lingers on your body that is both pleasing and delicate.

Okay so, I got this hoping it would smell like Forever Red because I had a candle in that scent and fell so hard in love. And it does, it smells just like it!!! It’s maybe a touch fruitier, the apple I think is brighter than Red’s pomegranate, and the vanilla in Red doesn’t stand out quite as much, I think. Both of these make me adore Electrify even more!! It’s slightly lighter, but rich and delectable. I’m not getting the patchouli on my skin, which I’m totally okay with, I’m not the biggest patchouli girl. Definitely getting the coconut though, which is really helping everything blend together spectacularly. I’m only getting faint florals on me, which I’m a-okay with, or maybe my nose is just barely detecting them currently (I’m a bit stuffy lately) but either way, I’m incredibly happy with this fragrance!! The sillage is perfect, the longevity is decent, and may improve after some maceration? But I got my bottle for 20USD so I wouldn’t mind needing to reapply at all! The 3.3oz bottle isn’t the most travel friendly, but it looks absolutely Adorable 🩵

I really like a lot of Paris Hilton perfumes, including this one. I think this one is one of her best. It smells a lot like Forever Red from Bath and Body Works to my nose. I always used to say, if only Forever Red lasted longer on me, it would be amazing, and I think I found that in Electrify. I do have to say, for the first couple days of having this it made me a little nauseous because it was strong and reminded me of hair spray for the first five minutes each time until I got used to it. I don't have that issue now. I didn't really think it was the best perfume until I walked past my daughter after spraying it on her and she smelled absolutely amazing. I was like... Whoa is that what I smell like to other people??? Alright we're keeping her in the collection permanently. This is also the only perfume I've gotten a compliment on from my husband for like the past year. Other than Ariana's Sweet Like Candy, this is the only one that makes him point out that I smell good. For me this has great longevity and sillage.
