Just Me Montana for women

Wow, this is a weirdo!

Pineapple and heavy leather, that's new to my nose. I personally find the pineapple opening awful, but it dries down quickly and what remains is only the sweetness of the pineapple without it's fruitiness.

And than the leather! Oh my.

I do think, that Just Me is what Daim Blond ought to be, but never quite realised: Sweet fruit (girly) and heavy leather (lesbian butch): Girly with balls. Where Daim Blond only is sweet, apricoty and has some slight suede, Just Me is even sweeter, after the pinapple is gone less fruity than Daim Blond, but edgier with a leather so heavy, I only know from male perfumery. The contrast is so big, that I am stunned.

I haven't made up my mind, if this is a scrubber or a masterpiece. I have to go on experimenting with Just Me.

P.S.: For those who didn't get, what "leather" in a perfume should be, try Just Me, you'll instantly know.

This is actually a fruity floral,not an oriental spicy. Very very fruity, actually, the pineapple being the most noticeable note overall, although it fades gradually. Gets too sweet in the drydown, probably because of the honey. It is not bad, but it is nothing special, particularly being a Montana, if one thinks of parfum de peau. Montana 80, out last year, is also great. The fact that this one is no longer in production is not really to regret.

when i see the notes: honey, leather, chocolate...i get stars in my eyes and start making "blind" purchases. you guessed it, that's exactly what this was and i am sorta wishing i saved the $30 some odd dollars to put towards a perfume i know i love. based on all the glowing reviews, this seemed like a no brainer. unfortunately, all i seem to smell is pine, pine and more pine. more of a cologne than a perfume. it's sad because the notes all seem to add up correctly, but the execution is all wrong. in short, i smell like a vanilla urinal cake. p.s. willing to swap with anyone interested in trying. maybe you'll love it as much as everyone else seems to! message me!

Got this in a swap with adrienn99 (thanks, babe!) and I am surprised that such an inexpensive perfume smells so much like it should be big dollars. I don't get any spice, but there are a lot of gourmand notes which I am enjoying. It's as if a strip of leather has been marinated in honey and fruit syrup - makes you want to chew on it, like jerky! The only downside is that it doesn't last all that long on my skin.

Wow.....this is fragrance has a Huuuge personality! Love it!
The sillage and longevity are monstrous, especially for EDT. Too sad they barely make the same quality fragrances these days.
I just cant get enough of this fragance...next time will wear it with a leather outfit, that would be perfect.

Hi Sherihan ! The strange thing is that EVERY note in here I ADORE, but I cannot seem to smell ANY one of them! So it is like a perfume with no smell for me.
A shame, I love the Montana house!

I really don't like the name on this one. Reminds me of something Paris Hilton would think up--oh wait, she actually did! Oh well.

I agree with hollycat a lot on this one, from the reference to incense right down to evoking nostalgic feelings with this scent. The pineapple note is a bit "overripe" for my personal taste, but does fine against the rest of the composition. Pineapple notes like this one gives off a metallic twinge to a scent. This is the same pinepple note that is in Miss Balmain.

I didn't like it at first when I first smelled it because it smells very brash on skin, however, like Shalimar, this scent is best appreciated smelling in the air, and not on the skin.

This was about to go in my "collected, but no longer worn" cabinet. I sprayed it into the air just to remember if it was indeed an atrocity of a scent, and I was really wrong. The smell had me dumbstruck and put into a momentary trance, and I nodded to myself with approval.

Barely made a whisper in the retail market, but very available out there in cyberspace for cheap. I bought mine for about $12.99.

I was really surprised when I tested this perfume because now that I look at the notes, its nothing at all like I what I smell.

I first smelled a lot of smoky incense, which now I realize was probably the leather. Then the dry down was mainly what I percieved to be orchid and some spices.

I find a great similarity between this and YSL's Nu. Except Just me is a little more tame than Nu.

Very enjoyable perfume. Somehow brings up emotions for me when I smell it. Nostalgic feelings.

Action, what is strange about the notes? maybe because of the gourmand over dose hahahah. I agree,notes look strange,why is it Spicy,is it because of the leather note? Dark chocolate in a perfume from the 90's!!! sounds like Angel's Thiery Mugler's new followers heheheh

Got this one after reading all the good reviews. I am so glad I did. What a wonderful little gem this is. The opening is VERY spicy. The drydown-a fantastic honeyed leather. Some may consider this a fall/winter scent, but DO try it in the summer. The scent is amazing as your skin heats up! This has quickly become one of my favorites!!

Just got this and It is very interesting not a common scent. At fist it is really spicy and on your face, Smell's great but to strong but after 15 minute is delicious I smell the honey and the pineapple and a faint smell of leather A beautiful perfume I just hope the bees wont go after me when I wear it . It last about 5 hours and then it stays close to the skin. A real gem!!!!

On my skin, Just Me presents itself as kind of a gourmand skin scent, if that's possible. The pineapple note is very pronounced and so juicy and realistic. The other notes blend into a soft, honeyed leather that stays close to the skin. Very unusual, but very wearable and with decent longevity. I'm saving my sample for Fall/Winter wear.

This is so odd. Upon applicaton, the dominant scent is pine and there is no pine in this perfume. I think it will make a perfect Christmas scent. It is very spicey and very cozy.

After about one hour of dry down all the wonderful spices come through. This is a wonderful and unique fragrance.

A little sharp start but lovely drydown, I JUST wish it had long staying power or that I could find the EDP. No chocolate from the Edt.

nice perfume not an easy to wear one,but in my opinion honey saves the whole fragrance,without it this would be avery old womans fragrance.at first i smelled some thing horible, but aftrea while i was amazed with the drydown honey with chocolate . and couldnt stop sniffing my wrist.perfect for winter time

Wow. I was expecting something very different from the notes. It has a really strong spice note to me that I can't put my finger on to describe. Almost like a combination of spicy ginger and cloves and it's present even in the dry down which ruins it for me. I'm sad because it sounded so great and I'm always looking for chocolate. More along the lines of a men's cologne.

A very beautiful perfume, not common it's a shame it is discontinued !...
Slightly acid in head thanks to the pineapple, then it warms it self with the honey and the dark chocolate, very feminine and smart, for energic and Thoroughbred woman it is not a sweet food but it is greedy, captivating, warm and its holding is very good!
I like it so much and I am a special woman when i wear it !
Fortunately i found a finery shell for dress my bottle....

Wow!
At first, I though `im being rolled in honeyed leather and drowned in a bathtub of an over-ripe pineapple juice.Bam!
Then, very fast, it started to soften and kind of growing up on me. I even sprayed some more, despite of the fact that it is obviously a cold weather perfume.Despite of it`s dripping sugar sweetness, it did not manage to give me a headache and elegantly survived a hot summer day outside. The drydown is very musky and only now, 8 hours after applying, I detect a very believable chocolate.I don`t feel no jasmine, and very little melon.
For the first couple of hours I came to conclusion it could very well be a man`s scent, and after that I decided that it`s very similar to Angel de Lys!

If it was good in summer,I only can imagine how good it will be when it`s colder, with a leather jacket....

I keep being amazed by this perfume. By mistake I ended up with two miniatures of this and was about to resell them. I once tested Parfum de Peau, the first Montana fragrance and I found it deeply unpleasant because of its overpowering leather note. It put me straight off trying the rest of the house. What a mistake that would have been when I've been looking for my signature fragrance for so long! On me it smells oriental with fruits first then it's just orchid to my nose (must be the white flower / chocolate / honey combo) with a touch of skin note which must be the leather. It's so soft and powdery that I didn't imagine this perfume had leather note in it at all before looking it up in here. The tropical - chocolate bit reminds me of Extraordinary from Avon and something else from my childhood I can't put my finger on. Probably Just Me evokes the smell of sun-dried linen? Or the way my freshly cleaned clothes smelled? That may explain the reason why I love this scent so much. I'll need to stock up on Ebay soon.

This beautiful fragrance mesmerizes me everytime I wear it because it’s so sensual and yet also so very classic. It creates such a soft fragrant aura around me all day and never intrudes on others. The sillage and longevity is excellent and I get so many compliments from people walking into my office. I never have to reapply and my husband just loves the way it smells on me at the end of a long day. I just adore this fragrance, it makes me feel so feminine and it stays beautiful from start to finish. I’ll never be without it as I feel it expresses so much about how I want to feel and smell as a woman. So, the next time someone asks … who smells so great? Make sure you’re the one saying ….. Oh, it’s JUST ME.

This is so lovely on the "right" woman.
Yes it is sweet and leathery but to me it seems as if there a two parties fighting in this perfume.The first is sweet and the 2nd wants to pull this sweetness back with leather and animalic notes.Perfume art at its best.
Montana perfumes are really a highlight among all those cheap and boring scents
these days.Not for teens but for women
with understatement and a provocative twist.
Discontinued sadlywise,was too avantgarde when it came out.
Hopefully it will be re-launched by "Selective Beauty"!!!!!

This is such an interesting fragrance, my first experience with leather...from the first spray there is something that really catches your attention and not necessarily in a bad way. I rather liked it. In the middle it kind of reminded me of a fancy cigar store or maybe a vintage saddle store, but still intriguing. I think that most would not want to admit they like this scent because it is not run of mill, same old same old. In the end, I really did like JUST ME and really don't care if anyone else does! If you pull up the other fragrances that the NOSE created, there are some really good ones if that tells you anything!

I purchased this fragrance about six years ago. I loved it at first sniff. It is a musky-fruity fragrance with a bite! Not the run-of-the mill type.

Once you get past the bright, spicy opening, this fragrance is really all about the musk and leather. Just Me is very well done, and dries down to a sensual skin scent. Medium sillage and great lasting power for an EDT. Similar in feel to Theorema by Fendi (without the overwhelming cedar note), it's a must try if you like leather/animalic scents. Androgynous, too, so men should not shy away from sampling. A sexy sleeper that deserves more attention.

I got a mini one last week, haven't tried it yet.
Used to think montana's perfume just has a good-looking bottle... I have to change my mind! Just Me smells like fruit pie with caramel/honey and spicy flavor, really a nice one!
