Reviews of Curve for Men (1996)
by Liz Claiborne

I was just given this by a friend you thought I would like it. In all honesty, it's not that bad. It's a very pleasant mix of the juniper and fir that makes me like this. The thing I HATE about it is - the alcohol is sooo pronounced when you first spray it - a huge peave of mine. The drydown however, is good and long lasting. Not bad, but not great.

I most definitely can see it's appeal to the mass market. However, Mambo has it all over this one.

What first appealed to me was the low cost, as i never expected to find a designer scent so affordable- but the value was at least inferior to the cost. I mean, i got the very same day, slightly more expensive, but in a far superior cathegory, Worth pour Homme, which, considering that it was reworked and cheapened ( not as price, but as quality) is still ages above this one. On one hand there are factors that attract me directly to enjoy and value a masculine scent- manhood, yet not too macho and with quietly confident discretion, elegance, puristic timelessness, lasting power, the capacity of being evocative and versatile and then there is Curve- quite the opposite of what i advocated before. While belonging to the " not bad" cathegory, it is still not good enough to be truly good. Abedazzling, even bewildering mix of various notes heading nowhere, maybe batter if taken and used apart.
In my opinion, too fruity and, i'm not the only one to notice, substandard lasting power. Drydown is, in my opinion, more feminine and/or unisex and while the first impression might still be promising, even if confusing, the drydown states clearly this scent's rather limited potential.

If I remember correctly, it was a pleasant generic frag when I first tried it about 10 years ago. It was advertised all over and it was sweet and sporty (unidimensional).

Longetivity was a joke, as this was a mass EDT, aimed at selling the ounces not the quality. Amazing, but 10 years later, EDT is still going strong.

I don't see anything unique with the fragrance, and find it a safe EDT for the timid teenager. Now, priced for that age group as well.

Knock yourself out if this is your thing, at least is not going to make me gag.

I smelled this on some friends and thought it good enough to buy a bottle. After a few years of wearing this, I have to admit that I've gradually developed an ambivalence towards Curve.

There are days I like it a lot and there are days I'd rather not have it on. I can't tell ahead of time how I'll feel so I guess the applicable term would be mysterious, but not in the pleasant sense.

Decent scent with green topnotes and a musky drydown. It starts off pretty strong but burns itself out rather quickly. Reminds me of one of those Axe scents that have a lifespan of 30 minutes. It does garner attention but only while it's freshly applied. Overall it's an ok scent that can be worn casually.

Smells pretty good last pretty long(on my skin)wouldn't go out of my way to get it but if the price is right................
