Before starting on my frag-quest, this was one of the very few scents I owned. Outstanding smell, decent longenity, and cha-eeeep. Another goo cheap scent.

This is a great cologne, I was looking for a fresh-green cologne to add to my collection and I ended up sampling it at TJ Maxx. Instead of a generic citrus top it starts off with grapefruit which is definitely nice considering most colognes you can't detect any specific fruit when it comes to citrus. One of my favorite notes in a fragrance is juniper and Claiborne doesn't disappoint, it also comes off with a pine needle note that is just fantastic. The crowning achievement is the fact that it only cost me $12. Overall this is a great cologne that starts out with a melon/grapefruit top, a juniper/pine middle and a warm ambery/sandalwood bottom.

Claiborne for Men stands out for several reasons: a) it is one of the few bergamot-heavy frags I really like, b) it receives little attention on Basenotes, probably because of its modest price,c) it has superb longevity, d) it has wonderful sillage (strong but not "crazy strong"), e) it always garners me tons of compliments and, finally, f) it's the only offering from Claiborne that doesn't bore me to tears and/or make me want to retch.

A very nice late Eighties/early Nineties cheapie -- snarf it up before it all disappears from the shelves forever.

Yuck, do I detect a note of cabbage? I bought this blindly for $13 thinking that I was clever for purchasing a discontinued fragrance. A quite strange scent indeed, a pungent note of V8 splash and then it seems to disappear within 30 minutes? Hmm, no thanks. Get the original Curve instead for the same price.

I used to own this when I was Twelve. Ahh the memories.

Despite so many of the negative reviews, I liked this. When it first was launched at Macy's in NYC back in September '89, it was different. There was a clean note to it. Many guys purchased it and really enjoyed wearing it, too. Infact, I was able to get my "last" bottle of it at Marshall's this past April ('08). Who knows, maybe someday they'll bring it back.
