Type: Eau de parfum
Size: 100ml
Just me by Paris Hilton is the second fragrance by the heiress, released in 2005. I have to admit, her fragrances surprise me a lot. The original scent was interesting enough, with a mixture of florals and quiet fruits, and a very interesting peppery undertone, but this fragrance is even more interesting. Unexpected from a celebrity fragrance, this scent is actually very mature and classy. There is still sweet and feminine undertones, but overall the florals are dominant and the result a scent which would perfect for anyone aged 20-45, but nonetheless aimed at the 15-25 age range. I expect most people over the age of 30 wouldn't want to wear a fragrance by Paris Hilton, but this one deserves a chance!
The Bottle: Again, pretty unremarkable shape. The glass is half translucent, and half cloudy with a pink bottom. I prefer this bottle a lot more than the original Paris Hilton.
The Fragrance: Now this is where things begin to get interesting. The initial blast, with top notes of bergamot, red berries and peppercorn is flowery and sweet. The sweetness soon dries down considerably, leaving just the florals with a tiny hint of sweetness in the undertones. The middle notes, which last the longest and are by far the most interesting and mature include lily of the valley, white rose and freesia. Heavy of the florals but the result is pleasant and very interesting for a celebrity fragrance. Not your typical fruity floral concoction. The fragrance quite a long time and the base notes are smooth vanilla, ylang ylang and soft musk. It is not an incredibly sexy fragrance, but it is suitable for everyday daytime wear and would also probably suit a very wide age range (so long as people don't mind wearing a fragrance by Paris Hilton).
Strength: Moderate to good staying power. The middle note is lengthy and subtle. The overall scent is not too overpowering but lasts a long time close to the skin. A good 5-7 hours.
Verdict: My favourite floral fragrance. I am definately a fan of Paris Hilton's fragrances and this one is certainly the most interesting. Perfect for the daytime and most ages. A pretty classy floral fragrance.
Rating: 6 (and a half) out of 10.
