Gold

I bought a small bottle online just to try-total blind buy. I wore it two times and decided if I had the chance to buy a huge bottle, I would. Got it today at TJ Maxx for less than $20! This perfume smells soooo good-it's sweet but not cloyingly or syrupy and when the amber and sandalwood warm up, it's warm, inviting and very "approachable" without being flirty. It kind of says to the person who is whiffing, "Can we go somewhere, just the two of us?" It's a great wear on my body (as my chemistry LOVES amber and sandalwood). I think this is a great choice for day wear, as the sweet, playful scent will last on me for about 2-3 hours, but then the warm, more mature (dare I say seductive) oriental notes kick in and it's the best thing to wear out for date night after work. I find it to be versatile. Not a man-killer, not even man-bait, but definitely a frag I will be wearing on a frequent basis. I love this perfume!

I was very sad Guess Gold had been discontinued and then I found this Bebe Gold which seemed to me very similar to Guess. I wasn't suprised the 'Silver' Bebe Bebe had reviews pointing out it was similar to Guess Silver. I liked very much the Bebe Gold and for me is actually what's next after Guess Gold was discontinued.

very similar to Guess Gold, but smells better then Guess Gold. love it. ~~

Bebe Gold is soft, almost too soft to wear outside to be noticed. It sits very close to the skin, yet lingers for hours. Kumquat, an odd note for me, hovered over the other notes, mixing with pink pepper, sandalwood, and especially opoponax, which I believe is the saving grace of this perfume. A sensual type of scent. This is one you'd wear with your SO in the evening for close encounters, or perhaps, a comfort scent. It's also familiar in its fragrance type, reminding me of others that are currently on the market. It's not that distinctive to set it apart in the crowd. I like the shape of the bottle, it's a bit heftier in weight, a little different. With the miniature, I have to use a flashlight to see what exactly is left, since the gold is painted to the top. Shaking it doesn't tell me. Unless I find this a great price, I wouldn't purchase the larger version. It's just too common.

Bought this because I loved Guess Gold, and I guess it is similar, but... I have to say I was disappointed. Other reviews have pointed out the small sillage and staying power. I noticed the same thing, and besides which, it's just a bit boring. I needed to press my nose against my wrist to detect any hint after a couple of hours, and when I did, I just thought, 'meh.' It's warm and sweet and spicey and absolutely and utterly inoffensive - but no wow factor at all. Fine for a safe choice, but I won't be buying again.
