This month, Bebe will introduce Bebe Sheer, a new flanker to last year's Bebe Eau de Parfum. Bebe Sheer was "inspired by the airiness of sheer fabrics…organza, tulle and silk".
Bebe Sheer was developed by perfumers Claudette Belnavis and Jean Jacques; the notes for the fruity floral fragrance include citrus cocktail, apple, green floral, peony, rose, jasmine, freesia, sandalwood, musk and amber.
Bebe Sheer will be available in 10, 50 and 100 ml, concentration unknown. (quote via fibre2fashion, additional information via alhawaj, wwd)
this sounds kind of…umm…iccky…but I am really liking the bottle! Maybe I’m just having a pink sort of day.
I think it’s the same bottle as the original?
I with you, the bottle is adorable!
I love that bottle too, but their original fragrance left me cold, so don’t know if I will try it. Maybe I am just grumpy because their clothing sizing infuriates me. A Bebe size large is more like an extra small to me anyway
I didn’t get to try the original, but neither of them really appeal to me.
Irish Princess: see my comment below. I’ve had the same experience. Oh, and I think their tops only flatter someone who has had implants. A little irritating.
YES!!! I agree totally, if you look at their lastest ads (I saw them in the August Vogue) they are only using models who have implants. I am really not trying to be rude, Bebe is a great place to shop if you are: 18-22 years old, 5 foot 2, a size 0 and have DD breasts, which I estimate leaves out about 99.9% of the female population;)
Probably more like 99.999%.
The bottle seems perfect for the crowd that would buy Bebe – no judgments, I just happen to know two 18 yr. old’s who are obsessed with the brand and would flip for this.
It has a heart shaped bottle . . . it is metallic pink . . . it has two charms . . . there are rhinestones involved . . . almost makes me wish I were 18.
LOL –I know!! somehow this doesn’t seem to fit with my favored chunky glass Chanel type bottles…. guess it just grabbed my “inner-child”
My inner child buys rhinestone jewelry on Ebay to wear with all the fragrances the average Bebe consumer (18-22) would turn up their nose at and call “old lady”.
Bet I have more fun!
I bet you do too!
LOL…you could always *pretend* you’re 18…
That bottle and its rhinestone charms would seem to target the 10-year-olds more than their big sisters. The 18-year-olds I know would scorn it as something for the middle-school set.
I actually wanted to try the original Bebe frag, and wouldn’t mind ordering the 10ml sizes of these if they’re reasonably priced. If I don’t like them, I know a thirteen year old young lady who would.
They don’t sound ground-breaking, but especially given FK’s the perfumer for the original Bebe, it probably isn’t that bad…
I have to ask…is it pronounced Beeb, or Beebie, or Baby?
I always thought it was like Bay-bay…..but I’m sooo far away from the target demographic, I could be way off in the pronunciation.
Bay-bay is how the employees of the store here pronounce it. Not that I’ve been in there in years. I think the last time I was in they suggested I try Lane Bryant. (I was a size 6 at the time.)
Never been in one….and certainly will never go near one now!
Can’t even imagine what they’d say to me now. “Go to REI, buy and tent and wear that”?
That. Is. Ridiculous! I don’t think I was ever a size 6, even when I was a skinny 14-year-old (5’7″ and 106 pounds). I have a large ribcage and broad shoulders, and I needed 8 or 10 to accommodate my frame, no matter how little padding was on top of it. I am quite a bit heavier than that now, and I am very tired of size 0 and size 2 SAs in all the stores, and very few items larger than a 10 or 12. The average American woman is a size 14–why don’t the clothing manufacturers produce something for us to buy?
I also feel the need to add that when I *was* a size 6 I had almost died. I was only three or four months out of the hospital when I went shopping. I actually thought it was my chance to fit into something at Bebe, and even being NEAR DEATH I didn’t fit into anything. I know there are plenty of people who are naturally thin, and God bless ’em, but geez! Carry something the rest of us can wear!
I’ve heard it by many in that demographic as “bee-bee,” but I like the pronunciation “bay-bay” better (more French-ish). I have to say, that bottle and the notes send shivers down my spine, but I also have a little animosity toward their clothes (which I used to love in my early twenties!).
I foudn the original scent oddly appealing, if a little (or maybe a lot) too loud for my taste. However, I would never go into one of the stores to try the sheer version for fear of being offered a walker and a stomach stapling. Even before hearing MissKitty’s tale, I found the store and its SA’s off-putting – even more so now!
