Advantages: Clean, fresh, great value for money, lasts well

Disadvantages: Not as fruity as I expected

Make Me Smile is a new perfume from Avon that is part of a range of three. There is Make Me Wonder, a deep purple bottle with a sultry evening fragrance in it, Fire Me Up, a firey red bottle with a gorgeous spicy scent and Make Me Smile, which is this perfume.

It comes in a sunny yellow bottle and is designed to be fresh, fruity, happy and upbeat. When I first received a scented page for this I thought this perfume would be absolutely gorgeous. In fact it was my first choice of the three new perfumes and Fire Me Up was a distant second.

When I actually received the perfume to try it, I quickly realised that it was not quite the same as the scented page I had previously fallen in love with. The sweet citrus tones are actually a little bit bitter and there is a real fresh and clean scent to this rather than the deep fruity experience I was expecting.

I think this is a nice perfume, and one that I could see some people really liking. Although it is not as sweet or fruity as I expected, it is decent quality that stays for a few hours after application. It is certainly not an all day perfume like Fire Me Up seems to be but it will last for a working day.

This is £8 for a 50ml bottle and only £4 in brochure 18. So if you think this is the sort of scent that would appeal to you then it is an ideal time to try it.

Summary: Nice but not a patch on Fire Me Up!
