In the Year of the Brat, I'm hoping Be Delicious has her comeback. She's an icon. She really is. When it comes to the holy trinity of a fragrance great – solid performance, sick bottle, and a damn good scent – I'd argue Miss BeDe is a triple threat. ️

Form: Let's start with the nuts and bolts. The vessel is iconic. She's the Mona Lisa of Frutiger Aero. The very eau d'aero. Fish-tank screensavers, clear plastic craniums, toy robot dogs. She looks like a glossy app button you'd see on iOS 2.0.

Function: This is stalwart for an aquatic. Imagine that crisp, freshly-shampooed feeling you get fresh out of the shower. But imagine having that for eight straight hours. That's BeDe.

Psyche: BeDe is what a stock photo of a cyber-green apple smells like to a cyborg. It's what the future citizens of a green-and-glass utopia drink for breakfast. Gummy cubes of proto-cucumber, clear spheres of synthetic apple. Sweet neon acid. Brat juice. It's a viral sorority. Every time I smell BeDe in the wild I compliment the wearer, and they always seem giddy to have found a fellow fan.

tl;dr: e-apple
