Liz Claiborne Curve Cologne Spray, 4.2 oz

Product Information

I'm not even going to go into the notes, but when I wear Curve, it takes me back to middle school/high school. Curve Black lasts about an hour projection wise which I find is a little too soft, but that's it before becoming a skin scent.

I didn’t want something that smelled too “mature” or “sophisticated” if you know what I mean like with more expensive cologne. I sprayed that and a few others I was checking out on test papers and let them dry, and the Chanel was the only one I still liked, and by liked, I mean I'm now obsessed with it. Can 25+ work Curve for Men, sure because any scent can work for any individual but unless you are youthful in your scent style like I am mostly.

I don't know what was in the tester versus what I took home, but this is the most generic mall-smell men's fragrance I've ever run across. Some niche fragrances try too hard with notes that they believe will justify the cost of their product. If you have tried Givenchy Play Intense or PlayBoy VIP, is simmilar, all of them are so sweet and fresh. I probably pounded through about 3-4 bottles in that time frame, at least from what I remember being that it's been now 20 years since then. The herbaceous notes are brightened with cooling marine tones, resulting in a salty, rugged freshness.

I've gone through at least 5 bottles of this and the performance isn't anything like what it used to be. Yes this scent is going to remind some of Fahrenheit and Lucky number 6, it really is a nicely done scent and I will always keep this in my rotation. I took this one out 2 years ago and had a 40 year old Russian lady at my job ask me what I was wearing. Its freshness, moderate sweetness, and perfectly balanced pineapple and woody notes create a great fragrance.

Found that to be BS and here’s the explanation: Since 2008, Curve, along with other Liz Claiborne scents, has been sold under a long-term worldwide licensing agreement by Elizabeth Arden. I sometimes do but not often and Curve with its sweetness and the citrus notes it carries hides something unique that a guy may not understand 100%, but a woman does get it 110%.
