Britney Spears' Curious is a lively, bright and effervescent fruity floral, aimed at twentysomethings with attitude. The Curious woman is romantic, independent and mischievous, one who's not afraid of risk. This is Britney Spears' first fragrance in partnership with Coty Inc., launched in 2004. It became an instant hit with the public.
The composition is based on the notes of white flowers surrounded with vanilla and musk nuances. It opens with fresh lotus, mouthwatering pear and magnolia. The intensive floral heart is composed of tuberose, jasmine and pink cyclamen. The sensual base is composed of musk, vanilla and precious woods.
The nose behind this fragrance is Claude Dir.

This is my FAVORITE Britney fragrance! It's perfect! I will purchase many back-ups of this perfume :) It is white floral, watery, clean, woodsy. Lasting power is great, spray some of my neck, wrists in the morning & I can still smell it the next morning! I think this is the best fragrance for any girl at any age. The exact description of this perfume is spot on! An exhilarating white floral accented with Louisiana Magnolia and wrapped in the sensuality of vanilla-infused musk. ♥LOVE IT! ;)
A girly, cute, and floral scent. However, it's definitely not a scent for someone over the age of 18. It's a bit too "teenish" for me, haha. Nonetheless the bottle is adorable, big plus :)
I used it when i was about 15. i loved it. very nice, light, easy to wear scent. the bottle is very lovely.this one is the most original from Britney, but the others are pretty good to.
Fun,fresh,fruity,floral.
I feel Curious is the perfect scent for hot summer days.
Its not overwelming or cloying in any way.
Just a lovely mix of pear, magnoila, vanilla and musk.
I think its one of those perfumes you could buy any woman as a gift and they would be happy to wear it.
I say this because I love to wear it and I am in my late 20's, its also my mums favourite perfume too, so I think it has a wide appeal.
The lasting power is good to, I get at least 4-5 hours from it, and I always get lots of compliments when I am wearing it.
I love it!
Great job Britney.
I would love another flanker to the Curious Family!
I used to wear this all the time as a teenager, I'm not much of a fan of celebrity scents now but I have to admit I still love this smell. Very cute, pretty and excitable (for lack of a better word.)
i can hardly smell this..and when i can..it just smells like a suave shampoo.
I love Britney spears and all the fantasy perfumes, belive, the radiances but this is horrible! I got licorice!
Love this one by Britney. I love everything about it. I wear this a lot. Its so fresh and uplifting and the bottle is one of the most beautiful of all perfumes out there :)
This isn't sweet on me in the least. It's flowery and musky. Light yet deep It melds well with my skin. I think it's very classy and classic yet fresh. It doesn't smell cheap. The longevity is okay not as good as other perfumes that i own but it lasts at least 2 - 3 hours. It settles down rather quickly, like within the first 15 minutes and after that it's beautiful. I love it and i love the old school perfume bottle.
In a perfect world, this scent would be legendary along with White Diamonds. Curious is a really fantastic scent. Fantastic isn't perhaps the right word but for me, this is a beautiful, enveloping smell. Disclaimer: I'm a Britney fan and a guy too. This is my everyday fragrance and has been for years - this fragrance ought to be regarded as a modern classic - it's soft yet striking, warm yet refreshingly laid back. Plus the bottle is unique and attractive, charmingly "accessible" yet timeless.
it is a love and hate perfume. I find it too flowery and fruity. It is a powerful perfume it stays on for a really long time. It reminds me of a perfume my elementary school teacher used to wear. That was years ago. so yea it brings back childhood memories. I think it is good clubbing perfume just because its that strong.

In Curious the magnolia, lotus, and MUSK stand out the most to me. I do not get ANY fruity notes at all. Not one bit sweet to me either, just a very refreshing a happy mix of flowers and musk. I wore this at the beach and it suited the hot air and salty water perfectly. It always makes me think of my skin being just a touch sunburned and having that lovely "spent the whole day in the sun on the beach, then got glammed up for a nice dinner" feeling. And the price and availability are great!
i was shock how much i did like this perfume.very light and yet persistent!!!!got a nice piramid,well balanced,not a sexy scents but,without any dubts suit a young woman and more older.
Curious has a very light and sweet floral smell.
This doesn't really smell like perfume, but more like a "freshly-just-showered" smell.
It's perfect when looking for a subtle, clean scent.
If you're expecting for Curious to be similar to Britney's Fantasy, you're in for a big disappointment. Fantasy is more gourmand and has a sort of BAM-in-your-face scent (I like Fantasy, but it's too sweet for me to wear).
I love Curious because it's not overly sweet or overbearing.
P.S. The first time I smelled Curious was when my friend wore it. If it wasn't for the fact that I saw Curious on her dresser, I wouldn't have guessed she was wearing perfume, but had just recently showered.
I really like this perfume, because the fruit and floral notes are well balanced.
I really like this perfume. I bought it a few years back for the first time and no matter what I keep repurchasing it. It's very clean, floral and musky. I don't think it's that sweet so you won't be getting a killer headache by wearing it. Highly recommended to anyone who wants a bit of a change from sugary sweet perfumes (not that there's anything wrong with sweet perfumes!)
I never really expected to like Curious, as I'm not a huge floral fan, I'm more of a fruity gal. I do like this stuff though, it's not overly floral on me, but I don't get much vanilla or musk either, it's very light. I get a little pear in the beginning and some nondescript florals, then very very light musk and a teenie tiny dab of vanilla. I tend to like most of Britney's scents, Fantasy is a favorite, but it is very strong and overpowering on me even if applied lightly, I doubt I could overdo Curious and even if I did it evaporates rapidly on my perfume eating skin, I'm only an hour in and it's fading fast. I think I'll be getting one of those tiny bottles of Curious I see at Kohl's or Wallymart just to have some on hand for when the mood strikes, plus those teenie tiny bottles are precious, I have one of Fantasy and love it! :0)
Update: we're about 8 hours in and I can still smell it, unfortunately it has morphed into mens aftershave, so Curious is now a big fat NO for me. Had to scrub it off.
This is more like a body mist to me, suitable for spraying on after a shower to retain the clean feeling for longer, just like I would CLEAN's shower fresh.The bottle represents this fragrance well.
It's light and inoffensive, feminine and watery. It's not the scent I wear to be sophisticated or when wanting to smell like I'm wearing a nice perfume, but rather one I wear to smell clean and put together.
It has a floral scent with pear bringing some fruit to it.
This reminds me of me in my mid teens, being a fan of Britney in her cute, girly innocent phase. This scent reflects her at that stage but not the current one.
Britney Spears Curious well my ex girlfriend had this perfume, i loved very much of it, its so sweet smells like cotton candy then settles to a warm feeling of flower and fruits, then my mother was CURIOUS what my then girlfriend was wearing i told her Britney Spears "Curious", she asked me if i can buy her a bottle for mothers day.
I adore this fragrance. It's a happy, flowery, feminine comfort scent for me. It smells like a gentle summer breeze carrying the dreamy notes of fresh magnolia and honeysuckle. My skin rarely brings out the flowers in fragrances, instead highlighting woods and the deeper notes, so I'm thrilled that I can finally smell like a garden. I think this is a beautiful fragrance and I wish I could find others that are similar - both in scent and in the way it works with my skin. So far no luck. I never tire of Curious. (Great name, too!)
I bought this blind and i was expecting something rather similar to DKNY Pure - by the reviews.
Well, i tried very hard but can't detect any similarity.
But i like it eventually. Soapy-clean-flowery low-key fragrance. I normally wear it at home or just going out with the kids to the play ground, wearing t-shirt, jeans and my pink sneakers. Just casual and fresh not femme fatale. Stays long on clothes and scarf and smells even better.
WHAT? no patchouli listed here? hmmm, odd. Tried this the other day... and I really like it, I swore there was some kind of odd patchouli in it that I adored so much..that was new to my sniffer, but I see no patchouli listed. Is it perhaps the cyclmain? Not sure but it has something that I love. Upon initial blasts I get heaps of this addictive scent it slowly begins to tame down, but never all together goes away.
I have the small bottle and let's say it's not up to par with the fantasy bottles..this one feels like cheep plastic and the design is kind of silly, like a flying saucer, lol...but I'm thinking the larger bottle with atomizer surely has to be nicer
A little to youngish for me, but that special note I cant decifer makes me love it

Lastly, to Britney ... I think when you shaved your head, you should have rocked that bald head, you have the face to pull it off..(that would have been so punk rock, like giving a big F U To the sugar pop industry) but instead ...you went out and bought a wig >.> ehhh....that was more disapointing than the design of this bottle. .... I understand there's money at stake, but I think in the long run you may have lost some fans but gained even more :p We now return to your regularly scheduled program.....lol
This is by far the best of the Britney line!
I've always LOVED Britney's perfumes, and this was the only one I hadn't tried. I got a mini bottle from Walmart to test it.
Now usually, I only like really sweet fragrances. So at first, I didn't like this. But after a couple times using it, it's grown on me. It's probably one of the only not-very-sweet fragrances I like! It's nice for formal things like Church or everyday things like school.
I wouldn't recommend this if you like really sweet fragrances. This is definitly floral.
An initial youthful dance of sweet pear and vanilla, alongside floral pangs of lotus and magnolia, is gradually slowed down to something more deep.
Something more mature.
And it's this bittersweet, woody symphony of musk and jasmine that truly make this a fragrance for the woman with attitude.
Though targeted at twenty-somethings, I believe the beautiful drydown of this scent could be enjoyed by women of all ages at any time of the day, any day of the year.
They've changed the charms on the bottle :( Britney always does this like with the gems on the fantasy series bottle neck! The "diamonds" on the charm used to be little square diamond like things and now they are just like keychain! they're just silver circles :(
If this would stay somewhere near the top (that is after the alchohol wears off) to middle, I would love this..and if it contained patchouli and / or incence it would be amazing. But sadly it does not and it very quickly reaches it's base then begins fading immediately.
Reminds me of Revlon Shampoo! So nice!
So fresh clean and lovely, I can see myself as a elderly lady still owning bottles of this!! Never want to be without a bottle!
smells very nice and clean. tons of compliments on this.
Everyone says this is a clean sent...(and for the most part it is) but I get a little "dirty" jasmine mostly in the opening... am I the only one that smells that?
Dirty jasmine isn't a bad thing (unless your talking about Sung by Alfred Sung)... it gives the sent more depth, and gives makes it a little sexy...
Still however not my favorite sent. I have a mini bottle and will use it up, but I wont be purchasing another bottle.
I prefer Forever by Mariah Carey for a spring sent.
It smells nothing special, quite fresh floral, but honestly I prefer Fantasy series. Maybe the climate here just not support this kind of perfume
I don´t love it, but I like it. It´s more floral than the other scents from Britney.
It´s elegant and fresh to me, good for daytime.
But I like Britneys other scents more.
I was surprised to smell a floral perfume rather than the usual gourmand perfumes in Britney's line. I usually like vanilla, foody-type sprays, but this one is very nice and smells elegant. I could see myself wearing this for special occasions or a night out. :) I wish the atomizers were still around though for aesthetics.
This baby is a classic, 100%. Surely it will stand the test of time, and has become a standard to which all celebrity perfumes should be compared to.
I saw it on a shelf in a perfume store, which doesn't happen often here and wanted to try it.
There is so much fuss around celebrity scents.
I cannot find them very easily where I live and I don't miss them, because I tried many while traveling abroad and I was always disappointed. I wonder why so many famous people want to launch a perfume with their name, then 2, then 10...
So far I tried Naomi Campbell, Kylie Minogue, Celine DIon (her first one was acceptable), Hillary Duff, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez and ehm...Jenna Jameson.
Britney S. makes no exception. How many perfumes by now? Is she so incredibly inspired?
Curious has a nice bottle, a little tacky but pleasant to see, happy and probably ironic.
The scent inside the cute bottle...well, a tragedy relieved only by the fact that it is very short-lived.
I smell a strange mix of fruity notes like weak tangerine and synthetical flower. No way I can wear this. I smell this one or probably similar ones on so many young girls, so I guess it is appreciated and in any case it is not strong nor disturbing. I wonder if it changes according to body chemistry.
I also tried Fantasy and it's even worse.
Smells like original SoftSoap! That's all I can smell.
Disappears entirely after 15 mins
i like this scent. its sorta smells like tea. my friend ses it smells like a public washroom , but its not. its really good
This baby was the one that made me find Fragrantica and get hooked on perfumes badly.
So the story goes: few years back when I saw Ms Britney video for song circus I thought "oh my, the poor gal is doing much better, she is looking wayyy much better that the usual trainwreck look she usually pulls off" and she was spraying curious on herself, and I instantly loved how the bottle looked, and a few days later, without having little to none expectations asked for a spray of that perfume on a paper strip in my local store.
It was like magic! I couldn't stop sniffing that strip, I put it in and out of my pocket numerous times ad later when I came home I sniffed it for several days until I couldn't get anything off the paper. I knew I had to get it, because it was pure magic to my nose. Only I had to wait a few months till christmas, because I was really broke at that time and this was my first "expensive" perfume (I know It's not expensive at all, but still anything I had before was way cheaper). So I got a 50ml bottle without that lovely pump, but now knowing how it breaks and spoils the perfume I'm actually glad.
So, I have used it up in about 6months (I guess it was the only perfume I owned at that time) and I really tried to save it up, being really broke then.
The problem with this fume, like everyone else has written, it does go green, and it becomes sharper, so I guess It's very suseptible to light, so now I have the curious heart version for several years now, and it's as good as new.
Also I think that this fume smells better on clothes than on skin, because on clothes it stayes linear and beautiful, gentle, sweet, subtile, lovely and magical On skin it's slighty more sharp and does not last on my super dry skin.
Since falling in love with it I have sniffed more serious stuff and my taste has matured, but this baby is still my love, and I think it's really nicely composed, way better than many fruity florals out there. I guess it works for me because it's more on the floral side than on the fruity one and I think the pear note ads that little cute kick (as in Annick Goutal's Pettite Cherie, I know they are diffrent, but for me they have someting alike).
So I'd recommend the pink bottle version for better hmm, perfume shelf life or try to hide it from the lihght, because when it does get green it really smells nasty. I know it becaue I sniffed one very green one in a frift store.
Really beautiful scent I'd recomend for everyone (the florals keep it from being too childish) I can even imagine it on a lovely lady in her 50ties, with a white long beachy dress and passing a wink to a hansome stanger. Lovely lovely baby!
I love this floral scent! I think it's really good for an everyday wear because it's casual yet pretty. I can really smell the white floral on this perfume which it's gorgeous. Wish it would last longer on me though.
I was prepared to like it, based on notes and lots of good reviews, but found it too weak to make a statement- it disappeared within minutes of hitting my skin-
JUICY RIPE PEAR!! Is what sticks out on me.
Love the bottle and I'm not a teenager ^.^.
I bought the big one a few years back with the puffy spray ball thingy on it.
I felt luxuriously ponsy when using it lol until my younger sister took it without asking and lost it. Oh well, never did buy another.
But it is a beautiful smell very girly, innocent and cute. Good for young ladies!
I bought a miniature of this and sadly did not like it at all. It's a very floraly floral that does not lead any interest else wear. I felt like this was very 1 dimensional and flat smelling.
I have it. I like it, especially the notes of lotus, but it does not last on me the way her other frarances do. It's light and plesant, but i won't be buying another bottle.
I had this perfume a few years back and at first I liked it, although now I don't think there is anything too amazing about the scent. Anyway, after a while of it sitting on my shelf, I noticed it turned yellow and started to smell very bad and strange. The end result was me having to throw the whole thing out.
...nothing really special!
Got it as a gift, and I really liked it, it is fresh and sweet and girly. Wore it in the office and received alot of compliments on it, not one believed it was britney! For me, this was my go-to bottle, would definately recommend it. I also think any age could pull it off for sure.
I think Curious is a perfect blend of sweet meets floral. The lasting power is so-so, but if you have the body lotion or a smaller bottle to take with you out on the town.
Curious also lingers after the perfume dies down. I was wearing it once while shopping around for houses with my dad and his girlfriend and she was standing a few feet behind me and told me I smelled delicious.
I also think the bottle is really cute. I have the 3.4 oz bottle with the atomizer thing and I've never had any problems with the liquid turning green or the atomizer breaking and I've had it for over a year. Reading about how it could spoil because the atomizer doesn't really protect the perfume and secure the scent I started putting the plan silver cap (It came on top of the bigger bottles when purchased) back on it just to be safe.
I think this would be more of an everyday perfume rather than a special evening out or anything. It won't keep up with your activities but it will linger with you throughout the day.
Cheap,sickly,tacky bottle... Nice if you are twelve or thirteen years old...
Getting a mini of this in a swop today.. Can't wait to try it properly...
An initially very feminine scent which does not last very long and becomes quickly forgetable..
0-15 Mins- Vibrant and female, as a man, this smells incredibly feminite. 20 - 35 age smell. Projection very good
15 mins - 1.5 hour - Settles to a very average smell which is ok. Projection approx 2-3 foot. No note takes over, instead a very female scent is all I can think of
1.5 hour - 4 hours - No projection
4-7 hours - Drydown becomes more spicier and could be Unisex, only at this point
Not for me and one which will not stick in the memory for either good or bad reasons
@saryssa boil the pump and it will work again...the fragance is...boring...i have it 3 years now and the bottle it is still full...i display it in my bedroom...i think that most people buy it for the beautifull bottle...in 10 years from now...when it will be empty i will use it for an other better fragance...
Flowers flowers and more flowers. Why would I buy this if I don't like flowers that much? -____-. Stupid decision. I was foiled by the prettyness of the bottle and big 60% off sign. Even though I got the tiniest bottle in the world of this stuff I couldn't wait till I had it all used up.
Boring flat comatose magnolia. I envy all of you who can smell pear and vanilla because I couldn't smell anything pass the flowers. There are some flowers I can tolerate, but these flowers were very unpleasant to me. (mayhaps it was the white floral accord and tuberose?) I had no idea that this even had 3 layers of notes since it all smelled the same from finish to end on me.
Love the bottle though, so cute, I may just keep it forever <3
sweet floral, pear and flower mix light scent; girly type of perfume. very short lasting power; its supposed to be edp not a watered down mist:( I'd wear it more often if scent wouldn't dissipate 5 minutes after I spray it on.
@La Moon-you are exactly right:Jasmine,gummy bears and lotus...perfect description!I adore this(reviewed it below)and am wearing it right now:)
Curious is one of the Britney Spears’ perfumes that I actually find easy to wear (in comparison with some high-voltage sugary flankers introduced year after year). The start is really watery (not aquatic sports perfume-y, thank god), feminie, with the magnolia wrapped with fresh discreet pear scent. It is sweet, but in a nice, girl-next-door sweet way if not over-applied.
After a while, it gets warmer with the vanilla-y notes coming in, but it’s not that in-your-face cake-y vanilla, it’s soft, smooth, and a good supporting background vanilla for the floral notes. Somehow it makes me think of high school, comfy beanbags and carefree girls (vice versa, high school girls do wear Curious a lot in my memory).
I find the final dry down a bit unstructured or too wishy washy, since it’s a washed down and warmed up, slightly stale and dustier version of the mid phase. However, since at this stage, people can barely smell it unless they press their noses against your skin, Curious gets my forgiveness.
Overall, it’s one of the celebrity perfumes I find nice to wear.
Its very classy and flirty, for elegant types I would say.;)
Such a nice floral everyday scent. Very clean and pretty. Well done Britney x
gosh i love this!!its clean n sweet watery floral scent
I love this one, it is one of my top signature scents and i just cant get enough. I usually have a attitude that goes with my fragrances and this one is in the sexy category for sure.
I just fell in deep like with this! I am more of a fan of In Control Curious. This scent smells like Gummy Bears and Jasmine and Lotus. Lovely! Curious smells similar and almost the same as Love At first Glow and Live luxe by J lo and Paris Hilton. Since Curious came before I feel like it has more umph! has more of a kick and lasting power. I just spritz some around 2 hrs ago and it still lingers quite strongly!! I am considering buying a new bottle since this belongs to my mother :)
I bought a 1 oz. bottle of this at TJ Maxx for $10. I remember I really liked this fragrance back in high school; it was really popular for a while. I still do like it; it is a very inoffensive floral with a strong hint of magnolia. A little linear, but still a good scent to reach for on a ho-hum day.
A few months back I received a sample of this. Back then I loved the smell of it. Just recently I sprayed it again, and now I am not so sure. For me, curious is a fun perfume, but sometimes its quite overpowering. Its long lasting, which I guess is a big plus, considering the over perfumes I use these days don't last as long...
Smells like soap.. Definite dislike!
I like this perfume. It feels sweet, fresh and girlie. It's ok to wear it when you go to the night party, date or in the winter time. You should test it befor buying it because sometimes, what the people like is not what you like.
tiffanykimwagner EDP
ehh, kinda boring..
I read a review saying that Curious smells exactly like Stella by Tocca. Since Stella is pretty much my favorite perfume ever, I had to buy some curious when I saw a 1.7 oz bottle for $16 @TJMaxx. I have to say the resemblance between the 2 perfumes is quite striking. After the initial spray, and the blood orange disappears from Stella (5ish minutes), they truly do smell alike. However, I think Curious might last a little longer. It's hard for me to admit, but yes, Curious is very nice. I do like Stella more, but it's hard for me to say I would pay the price difference. I guess we'll see when the time comes
I do not know whys every time I feel it, I cough and cry eye,
This is not the only perfume that does this ;
I tried to find a comun note to these perfums that make me this, but impossible to find,
is it an allergic reaction ??
Curious was the first perfume I ever owned and over the years I have owned several bottles. Over all this perfume is pretty good and has a nice fresh floral scent. However, one thing I did notice about this perfume is the scent has changed during the last couple of years !!! It seems that it has been watered down, which is unfortunate because the original scent was a tad bit better.
I think it's very light, clean and innocent. It's not give you sexy feeling but it can make you excited. This one is easy to love and easy to wear.
But the biggest problem is the lasting power. It's like only 2 hours on my body. Absolutely disappointed.
But I have a trick to make it last longer. You should wear 'Curious' matching body cream before you wear the perfume. It will be lasting all day! :D
this perfume is more mature than the fantasy-series and it is not as sweet as the fantasies. it is more floral. it is nice but i like the fantasy perfume a lot more as they are more special and not so common concerning the smell.
This is one of my favorites =) the bad thing about it is the , pump that comes with the 3.4 fl.oz bottle, it gets clogged very easily and damages the perfume, I'm happy now with my 1.7 fl.oz bottle . The scent is very subtle I smell the flowers on it and after some hours a pleasant vanilla. I think it can be worn every day without being annoying.
I like this perfume, it's light and fruity. Not my favourite, but it's definitely something I would buy again.
This is a nice and spicy kind of scent with a hint of sweetness. i really like Britney and her perfumes. I've had this a while and it's still going strong for me. xoxo :D
I had this perfume as a mini but it was another that I found too sweet so I sent it to my sister-in-law and she loved it. It was a couple of years ago so I can't really give a good description of the scent.
I thought I'd gone off Curious but today I gave it another try and realized that I haven't at all and that I like it a lot!
It's a very unique, distinctive smelling perfume and I really couldn't compare it to anything else on the market, and certainly not to a lot of other celebrity scents which tend to be more generic and commonplace smelling. Curious to me smells very exotic and everything that J-Lo's Deseo wants to be but isn't. I also much prefer it to Britney's Fantasy perfumes and the clinical smelling Believe. The magnolia, lotus, pear, vanilla and musk in Curious blend so well to create a bright, fresh, clean, sweet and semi-tropical scent which is just lovely. The reason I stopped wearing it was because it was so ubiquitous here in England and I would smell it on so many other woman, and I like to smell a bit different! Now I've 'rediscovered' it though it's going to get used a lot more frequently. It's a good anytime, anywhere perfume and could be worn by women of any age who have a youthful streak perhaps!
Curious on my skin lasts for a LOOONG time - 10 hours and more - so the staying power is very good. I have a solid perfume stick, which is what I've used today, and that has better staying power than the EDP, but the EDP still lasts for quite a long time on me (and my bottle is a tester which doesn't have the atomizer on it, just a regular spray top, so I've had no issue with an atomizer because I don't have one!). So, anyone who thinks Curious has poor staying power should give the solid perfume a try because I'm sure that would last longer on them.
The bottle is cute and all i smell is jasmine. I don't like it!
I used to really passionately hate this, I actually described it as the perfect eau de hooker for years!
(I'm very sorry and do now take it back)
It was just so strong and overpowering to me!
My sister and my best friend at the time loved it straight away, so I was surrounded by clouds of the stuff, all the time!
Then my sister sprayed some the other day for the first time in about 3 yrs, and I was very curious (excuse the pun) about what the smell was, I was quite (really) liking it, oh no!
I think maybe because I didn't smell it straight from the bottle and wasn't being drowned or suffocated by it, I could actually smell the more delicate notes, and it didn't burn my nostrils.
It's got almost a familiar and comforting smell to me now and I don't know when or how this has happened, I spray it and my head wanders straight to the parks and summers of my teen years. Possibly I now associate it with my sister and friend and good times! :)
Anyway I feel like the ultimate turncoat because I am now considering buying a bottle (and probably will) for the summer and the the occasional whiff of nostalgia!
Smell is wery good,fresh and clean i like it.But it dont lasts on me at all,after 15 minutes its gone.
This is hands down one of my all time favorites-it's funny as celebs usually copy other scents but when I smelled the original Juicy Couture for the first time I thought "Hey-this smells like Curious".Curious is MUCH softer and rounder than JC though.I've loved this since it first came out but couldn't wear it for years as it reminded me of an ex who gave me a bottle(darn scent memory!).
I recently got a mini bottle just to see if it still made me feel weird(definitely did not) and fell in love with it all over again-I then went out and got a large bottle just a few days later.
Being from the South it really does capture it's floral scents well-the smell seems very familiar to my nose:kinda just smells like home:).This will always be in my rotation-a soft,creamy aquatic floral that stays close to the skin yet you catch a whiff now and then....it's sublime.
Bought it for my daughter but loved how it smelled. I used to offer her trades of spritzes of perfumes and when we did, I always went for this one.
It's light, but lasts. You smell it on your clothes still lingering when you're doing your dirty laundry days later. Not a seduction perfume, it's great for daily wear and any public occasion.
I had this when it first came out. I used to wear it all the time, I never got sick of it. I remember it being very refreshing, youthful and flirty smelling. It lasted a very long time too and I usually received many compliments when I wore it. So, I don't know, maybe I'll revisit it one day.
Ok, so I went to the local TJ Maxx and got a super deal on the body lotion and shower gel. Now I remember why I loved it so much and why it was my signature fragrance for a while. It brings back nice memories and it really is a wonderful scent. I could see myself wearing it year round even though when I originally had it, I wore it in the summer months only. Overall, I'm glad I revisited it. :)
I bought Curious for my sister for Christmas a few years ago. The mingle of pear and magnolia is delicious. It's surprisingly elegant.
I had this and I couldn't wait to finish it! Would not purchase it again!!!!!
I was given a beautiful bottle of Curious (with the added puffer atomizer) for being a good bridesmaid :) It looked so pretty on my dresser...
Actually I was surprised to find out that I liked the contents of the bottle as well! It is slightly different to other floral fruities out there, in leaning a little more to aquatic floral, but with a hint of sweetness. I think the composition is lovely overall. But I do think it would be more suitable for a younger person. The sillage is initially strong, but is short lived, lasting power maybe a couple of hours, drying down to a soft floral musky skin scent.
Unfortunately I had trouble with the atomizer and it squirted instead of spraying a fine mist... anyway I ended up using it to spray on my bedding, because I did not want to wear it on myself.
Great fragrance!!! One of the best perfumes I've ever smelled!
Love this scent! It's a really pretty floral...soft & understated. Perfect for daytime! As for the bottle...ugh...hate it! It's so cheap looking!
i didn't liked it.. so strong and it makes me very dizzy.. this smells like an old woman
I smelt it on my friend and I LIKED it, not loved. I would, however, buy it for the sake of having it for everyday use at work, because it is inexpensive and the bottle is cute...
I finally broke down and bought this after sniffing it over a year ago. I consider it an aquatic floral, not because it evokes rain, rivers, or the ocean, but because it reminds me of a lush garden on a humid evening, moisture hanging thick and heavy in the air. A celebrity fragrance always has to work harder to impress, but in this case, I couldn't care less, it just smells good. I am tired of cupcake perfumes, high end or discount - this is a lovely change.
...such a terrible smell,almost chemical,like "Glade"or Ambipure home deo!
I love this fragrance!
I got this fragrance when it was launched in 2004 as a birthday present form my parents. I love everything about it, the box and the bottle are awesome. And I even got a free gift, a small britney bag.
The first moment that I sprayed this fragrance, I felt so elegance and classy. No wonder it won the best fragrance in 2004 and the best women's fragrance on 2005. Its worth it. I give it 10/10!
Great job Britney! :)
Because it's a celebrity scent this might go under the radar for some. Let me tell you you should give this one a try. It is distinct and original and I like it. Some might be put off because this almost smells like body lotion. This is a clean scent great for summer and spring time when it's scorching hot out and you want to smell like you just stepped out of the shower. It's great for romantic nights too. It's very refreshing and has great staying power. This is not what it used to be since this I believe has been reformulated because I remember smelling a more prominent magnolia note. It is now more lotion like and not as floral. The original release smells quite similar to Stella by Tocca, so if you want to try something similar to what the original Curious smelled like then give this a try!
One of my fav perfumes....smells gorgeous and lasts hours too!! Love it!!
Great floral scent. Very unique and girly.
No, i dont like it at all, it is stinky. bottle is nice.
Smells very pretty and youthful. The only complaint I'd have is that the lasting power is terrible 5 minutes and gone?!
Neither Britney nor her scents are something for me. So far I found all I tested girly-ish and uninteresting. By now I even gave up on testing more (similar to Paris Hilten etc.).
I hate the whole concept of 'celebrity' fragrances but I do try not to let that stop me giving them a chance, because every so often I prove myself wrong.
Unfortunately, that's not the case with this one. It confirms all my prejudices about the celebrity fragrance market.
No offence to those who like it - it's good that we all have different tastes - but to me Curious is just indistinctly sweet and fruity and very, very heavy.
Might be a good present for a young girl who's never smelt anything better, and it might make good air freshener in an emergency, but to me it smells cheap and nasty and I really can't stand it.
my sister & i got tester samples as gifts. i wasn't into the celebrity fragrances. but wow, really beautiful perfume. i think its the combination of pear & magnolia notes that work wonderfully together. my sister smells great, her signature scent. the dry-down is also really nice, soft floral vanilla =]
I find this one to be a fragrance that you really need to allow to develop. This was a blind buy for me. After reading a lot of positive reviews and finding a bottle for only $8, I decided to try it. At first whiff, I thought it smelled like hairspray, and I immediately thought "mistake". But I gave it a chance to settle, and eventually it evolved into something more pleasant. I can really smell the pear note, some florals, and the woods. Still not my favorite Britney fragrance, but it is a good everyday fun fragrance.
One of the most horrible perfumes ever, and i hardly feel so strongly about any perfume. This might as well be pure ethanol for consumption, i barely got a wift of florals, it was all heavily clouded by the alcohol dumes in this that burned my nostrils. :( Sadly this has nothing to do with body chemistry. Is it just me?
Im want to try Fantasy, and do hope it fairs better as a floral gourmand.
This is a lovely perfume for everyday wear. Curious and Circus Fantasy are great for when you dont want to smell a little over the top (e.g- for office or work) Although I'd personaly chose Circus, Curious is great smelling and "clean" smellng. It can be found at a reasonable price too. Not my fave perfume, but certainly a nice one. Pretty, yet simple bottle too!
I tried it a few years ago at my friends' house, and her sister had it, and I always used to spritz it because it smelled so good! Then I purchased it a few years ago and still loved it, but now I think it's kind of watered down, and it just smells a little overpowering.
This was my very first fragrance, I got it in highschool in 2005 It will always hold a special place in my heart and in my memories. Everytime I smell it I think of me and my friends hanging out, it comforts me. It is a light sweet scent one of the best selling celeb perfumes of all time I remember it won tons of awards and was best fragrance of 04 and I can see why. Curious is unique on its own and I have never smelt anything close to it ever. I love the lotion too! Her lotions I swear are the best! They make my skin so smooth and soft ! The only thing bad I can say about this perfume is that whenever I had it for about a year the 3.3 oz the liquid turned green and stank also the atomizer stopped working as well its not the only time either all the bottles I owned did this to... You would think the company would have done something about this or is this just me this happens to lol? Also I noticed they changed the charms they dont have cubic bling no more just a plane ugly sliver ball chain... ugh... why ? cheap company arden makes alot of money stop being cheap!
muhtesem bulmadim/.Tenimde durdukca kokusu daha kotu oldu
Its not amazing..hour by hour the smell of the perfume gets worst
muhtesem bulmadim/.Tenimde durdukca kokusu daha kotu oldu
Its not amazing..hour by hour the smell of the perfume gets worst
My friends have this and it such a beautiful scent. I can smell pear, lotus and mix something with a sharp mint scent. Smell so fresh. Its too bad, its so hard to find this perfume in my country here. Its in my wish list!!
::: Sorry for my english :::
Curious is an incredibly pretty fragrance that I think is destined to be a legend along the lines of Anais Anais and Sweet Honesty. It seems every girl - at any and all ages - owns this perfume, at least for a time. Curious is not a fragrance I wear regularly, but there are times when I need something to make me feel smell younger, prettier, carefree, and optimistic, and Curious is is just what I need. Curious smells like the first fresh breezes of Spring after a Winter of continual blizzards. The magnolia and jasmine notes are soft and alluring, but over-all, Curious is a comfort scent for me. It's pretty, because it feels great to smell pretty, and I never tire of Curious.
Curious oh what a delight!beautiful softness of magnolia, pear, tuberose,maybe a bit of lily of the valley in there somewhere.
This perfume reminds me of a country garden in summer with a gentle breeze whispering around my shoulders,birds tweetering in the trees,sun shining through my long hair....always cheers me up.Well done Britney.
Español/Spanish. Alguien me explica porque el olor solo me dura 2 horas? mmmmmm que lastima porque el olor no esta nada mal, solo lo uso cuando salgo en grupos pequeños porque si no nadie nota que la tengo puesta!! :(
I was expecting this one to be something a lot more childish and cheap smelling perfume but luckily i was wrong :) I actually like this one!
This is trying to be a white floral and I do get it as such. Tuberose comes out quite a bit on my skin and I like that as I love tuberose. It becomes too woody too quickly unfortunately. It lacks the softness I look for in a white floral. It stays kind of flat.
Always has, always will be my favorite.
Well First off I dont get how people say this smells cheap, I mean it isnt a dress up scent, it is casual and ment to be a fun daytime scent. I have smelt worst things, It isnt a bad scent at all, it is a little on the lighter side for my taste but I still like it and always will,It last a good while too so you get you're money's worth. I have wonderful memories with this scent. I love it
Love the bottle but headache inducing for me. I'm surprised this won some award years ago, very sharp cheap smell to me.
Yuck hate it, smells cheap and generic not a fan :0(
i like the combination of notes in this. its very feminine and floral. i find it clean and refreshing. i like all the flowers listed in this and they blend together nicely. i don't find it "old ladyish" at all. its clean and clear and reminds me of a cool crisp spring day. its very comfortable and wearable. i've gotton compliments when i've worn this one. i'm happy with it.
I got an offer 50 ml for 5 Pounds but that was 5 Pounds wasted. It sounds strange. Reminds me of Christina's Inspire but this smells more flowery and medical. I don't know, I love Hidden Fantasy and like Fantasy but this is just too odd, not girly at all. More of an old Lady smell.
This was an impulse buy from an outlet store when I was in line to pay for some cute blouses. I decided to get it for my collection coz I loved the color of the bottle and it was just a mini collectible so it was really cheap.
Surprise! Surprise! When I dabbed a little bit on my wrists, I was so pleased with the scent. Floral fruity and minty fresh at the same time. It's pretty strong too so you dont have to put on a lot which is great. I thought it was gonna be another mediocre celebrity sweet scent but it is quite unique.. It's really growing on me.. I might get the biggest bottle coz it smells so fresh and the bottle is so friggin cute!!
My mom's favorite flowering tree is the magnolia tree. She loves the smell of the beautiful white flowers that the tree blooms. The moment I smelled Britney Spears Curious, I felt like my mom was right there with me and that made me love the fragrance immediately. That said, Curious is a soft, flowery almost woody scent. On me, the magnolia is strongly detected and I love that. Not many perfumes can make magnolia work but Curious does. Blended perfectly with the notes of pear, vanilla and musk, it is absolutley divine. I love this. If I were on a deserted island and could only take 1 perfume with me, Curious would be it, I love it that much. To me it is everything a perfume should be: feminine, innoccent, sweet, earthy and a little bit sexy. Simple and beautiful.
Update: Althought it smells divine all year long, i've noticed that some of the notes fade out much faster in the hotter months. Curious appears to be better suited for colder months, at least on me.
I bought this one one in a shimmer stick, and it lasts. I can definately smell the vanilla and floral. Very soft. I love it.
This smells so f' good on my girlfriend that I gave to her already two bottles of it.
It's sweet, but not so explosive as Fantasy.
Sweet, but somehow in a classy way - it's still remains young and fresh, but kind, delicious and soft.
Try it, girls.
Curious is a young woman, on a hot summer night, walking through a garden, passionately in love. It actually evokes the sensation of humidity that you feel on summer nights on the east coast and in the south. Someone else remarked that it smells like the end of innocence, and I think that's a great way to put it. No longer a little girl, but certainly not yet a mature woman. I also love that this perfume has excellent staying power.
My dad bought me a 50ml of this from it first came out and all these years later I still can't finish it but as it's a present I don't want to throw it away. It just smells really bad.
It's like flowers and mint. I have a small bottle of it but it's enough, because this scent is not for me, I use it very rarely. Doesn't last at all!
Curious is a fresh, playfull and energetic fragrance.
The top notes of pear Magnolia and Lotus flower melt together to deliver a fresh but clean blast of floral, I can really detect the magnolia in this, which makes it somewhat creamy, and gives it a sense of warmth without it being too fresh.
I dont think I would class this as a floral fruity, i think it leans more toward Aquatic floral, because of the cleaness about it. I think it's quite a unique fragrance as i haven't smelt anything like it before.
I would suggest this perfume for spring, as its quite crisp and sharp, lasting power is brilliant on me, I sprayed it on this morning and now, i can still smell it.
Great casual perfume which I class highly. :) x
to me it smells "cute" like it has a fresh smell but with a hint of floral just a small hint
Another fruity, floral, shampoo-like blend. There has to be some berry-like fruit in addition to the pear note listed. Sherapop's "Grape KoolAid" makes sense. I tried it because the magnolia note sounded promising. Having lived surrounded by seasonally blooming magnolia for about 20 years, I can say with certainty, that this smells nothing like magnolia. Too sweet and generic for me. Had to scrub it off.
pretty bottle but no good perfume.so pitty(for bottle)....
My boyfriend says this smells like old lady but what does he know ;) I actually happen to like it! So I just wear it at home when I'm lounging in my comfy robe. Smells very clean!
i bought this after reading these good reviews on it but i honestly can say it smells of nothing except mint....so glad i bought the cheapest bottle, will only use this in emergencies!
I brought this perfume when it first came out, and continued to buy it for years. I always used to get compliments from people around me, and people asking me what it was, and saying they wanted it for their Girlfriends. Almost everyone I would hug would say "Wow, whats that?"
To me it smelt very floral, flirty and girly!
However when I went to buy a new bottle recently, I noticed a dramatic change in the scent. I asked a few people around who also wore this, and they too noticed the difference. Compared to my old britney Curious (Which I still had a small amount of) The new one smelt almost like nothing. A very small hint of flowers and citrus, but the Curious I remember is long gone. Its such a shame..
This is such a pretty scent. You can definitely smell the magnolia, musk, and vanilla in this which is why it's so good.
My husband gave me Curious and Fantasy for my birthday. I like them both, but my favorite is Curious. I like the magnolia and vanilla. It lasts almost all day on me, and the fragrance gets warmer with time. I love the way it makes me feel.
I love this scent its quite clean and fresh, bt when the dry down comes it smells quite warm and i can really pick up the magnoila! x
I have to admit, I probably would have never sampled this if it didn't end up as an extra in a sample swap (Thanks JubliantUvula!)
Curious smells initially like a soft drink--a soda, pop, whatever you call it. A soft drink from a bar tap: more sweet than fizzy. Maybe a soft drink that is part-sugar, part-diet (artificial sweetener!)
The opening is candy-like, artificial fruits, yet the most interesting part.
Afterwards, I smell a "floral accord" that I can only identify as being marketed under the word "floral" because of myriad mass market perfumes and linen sprays and aerosol air refresheners with the names and pictures of magnolias, lilies, and gardenias on them. In hell, this is what your floral garden smells like. If this is floral, then I am the living reincarnation of Edith Piaf.
I am not hating this because it is mass-market, faced by a pop music idol (though I have to admit, I am biased and according to many, a snob)
I recognize this fragrance from high school or some nightclub outing maybe. It struck me as brash and cheesy then, and it strikes me that way again, knowing what it is, and smelling it on my skin. Scrubber.
If you want a mass-market floral fruity, there are so many pleasant ones to be found elsewhere.
My friend have this, n i smell this from him. OMG, i really love the smell, the bottle, the puff... ow it's really2 lovely!!! I should buy this as soon as possible!!!! :D
I read somewhere, Britney being a Southern gal, wanted her first fragrance to pay a tribute to the great American South. A lot of people associate magnolia trees as a southern thing so they added Louisiana magnolia as the strongest note.
Moving on to the perfume, its beautiful and the magnolia really blooms on my skin. The magnolia in this is delicate and creamy when mixed with vanilla. There is a humid quality to this fragrance reminiscent of hot summer nights. Maybe it`s the lotus mixed in with tuberose and pear that is giving off this watery/humid feel to it. It`s like a moonlit walk in a lush tropical garden when the air is still and fragrant. The drydown is musk and even though not stated in the notes on my skin, I detect a soft scent of patchouli.The bottle has a vintage feel to it. Reminds me of a beautiful Southern belle right out of 'Gone with the wind'.
Standing in front of her vanity on a warm,sultry southern summer night, and dousing herself from the old fashioned atomizer with the scent she grew up with, the scent she loves the most... the scent of luscious magnolias.
I love this perfume so much. I love the sophisticated floral feminine scent and its flacon. The mesmerizing color of its flacon is reminiscent of my birthstone Aquamarine...a sparkling light blue that captures the refreshing color of the fairest seas.
The story behind it is very special to me. It was the very first perfume my husband gave me and which I wore during our special day....our wedding.
Everytime I see this beauty and sense the gorgeous floral scent, it reminds of our wedding vows that we will love each other no matter what....'til the end of time :)
I have come up with a perfume inspired birthday cake on my b-day on March and it will be Curious...because it is lovely and it has a sentimental value to me.
When I first got this fragrance I was not impressed at all, the opening smelt of alcohol and I thought the fragrance was ordinary,but after a few days it grew on me, the dry down is so lovely, I can definitely smell magnolia and vanilla. I have received a few compliments on this one, the only thing is that it does not last that long.
I am not kidding i layered this with precious love by katie price and it smelt amazing its likea tangy mix between the two it smells great! x
I like this perfume. It's fresh with some hints of it's fruity ingredients, really nice for the day time. Wouldn't say it lasted on my skin for a long time but I still loved it.
Easy to wear soft floral with a hint of pear which is not overly sweet. I can detect magnolia but not the tuberose or jasmine- only a slight soapiness which may be due to the tuberose..the dry down is clean and pleasant. smells like a young, innocent lady!
I mostly smell white flowers and oranges. It's a powdery sweet floral scent and dries down extremely sweet and very childlike on my skin. It's not my thing remotely, but will work well for those who like innocent playful scents and don't mind the powder notes.
I quite like Curious, it smells sweet and innocent on my skin. It was a favourite fragrance of mine when I was in high school. Curious is a young, fresh fragrance, which may not appeal to those looking for a more mature or classic scent. It's rich in sweetly-scented white florals (jasmine and magnolia notes come through strongest on my skin). Gourmand lovers may prefer the vanilla-based Fantasy over Curious, but if you're a lover of white florals and fresh scents, Curious may be worth checking out. The sillage is also quite strong, one or two sprays is enough.
Be aware, however, that Curious is a unique scent and therefore very recognizable. There are a several girls at my university who wear this and I always know when they've been around because of the cloud of Curious lingering in the hallways and classrooms.
When my passion for perfumes first started, back when I was about sixteen I swore to myself that I would never be a fan of celebrity perfumes, I mean I wouldn't even give them a chance when I would go test the ocassional fragrance or two at the department store. -I was a bit of a snob really.-
This all of course changed a few years later when I was over at my besties house and she had just got the new Britney perfume that had come out - Curious. So I gave it a go... I was expecting something cheap and nasty... but NO!
To me Curious is such a unique smell, I still haven't come across anything that smells remotely close to it. A really summery, light fragrance, very peaceful and relaxing, this is the image I get in my mind when I close my eyes and take a wiff from it's completely adorable flask!!! I swear it's like a little genie bottle or something <3 So cute! I'm a sucker for cute :)
I wear it during warm days - which you get ALOT of in Queensland/Australia and I am really surprised when I read alot of reviews saying that it doesn't last long? I must be lucky because even tho it's such a light, subtle scent it lasts for the entire day on me.
One of my top 5 favorites and it's definately started a love affair with the Britney perfumes <3 I think I have like 3 now :D
Got this perfume for xmas 2 days ago from my friend and to be honest I was a little horrifed when i opened the wrapping to find this underneath. When i took it out and sprayed it, initially I thought, hmmm.. nothing special.. but after a while it turned into something completely different.. not bad at all! i believe this was britneys 1st one. I have smelt a couple of the others (fantasy & fantasy midnight) both of which i thought were offensive. but this one is very wearable.. mayve i will wear it to the office.. defo i daytime one.. not special enough for evening or special occasion.
I like this Curious. It has a sweet fresh fun scent. It has a vibrant scent to it that it very youthful.
Curious, when first made, was beautiful. Lots of sweet floral notes, a hint of peach, on a musky bed.
Its not like that anymore, it smells like Curious has been spiked with metholated spirits. It's been concentrated in a cheap deoderant.
These candy scents are easy to market, therefore a target for pirate perfuming, so be really careful when buyin them. Dont buy Curious anymore unless you've never tried it before, you could be gravely dissapointed.
I think we should all keep in mind, this fragrance is licensed to Elizabeth Arden. What that means to me: Every fragrance I have loved that I found was licensed to EA has turned cheap on the re-release. I bought Hummer and it was gorgeouse, the second bottle I bought was nowhere near the same, almost undetectable. The exact same situation occured when I bought Britney Curious, or tried Usher He, Dirty English and Rocawear 91X. So essentially, if you've owned it and loved it once, leave it at that, because chances are, it won't be anything like the first.
I dont want to seem like a hate campaigner, but I'm very upset that I cannot find the original formula anymore.
This one smells like Kenzo Amour Florale to me, just without tuberose. Very floral, nice summery scent. It's for those who like floral, non-sweet perfumes.
This one I got as a gift, it was to replace the Brit I had a few years back that I guess doesn't exist anymore, It was in a purple bottle like the Midnight but it wasn't Midnight, anyone know what I'm talking about? It was very fresh and fruity and light, great spring scent.
it's nice--too much for me is headache inducing! it reminds me of something nostalgiac. not sure what though.
My last adquisition... Loooove it!!! so fresh, clean, delicious!! I'm addicted to it. It's like a refreshing juice!! Nothing extremely sweet!! It's well done and mixed!!! The bottle is so cute. Totally Worth it!! =)
PD: Still love it, but Not long lasting at all! Too bad! but like I said before TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!!
a clean and aquatic floral that dries down into a crisp vanilla. Tuberose and Magnolia take center stage throughout. I hardly get any pear though. I can see why it's popular. It's feminine and doesn't offend by being overly sweet.
Beautiful girlish candy type perfume, smells totally gorgeous :) guys enjoy the fragrence and my friends always tell me i smell really nice,im 14 ive had 50 ml and 20 ml very nice you will love it :D! peace.
HELP ! i have this perfume and it wont spray at all .i have the 100ml with the atomizer can anyone help i don't know what to do .and also how do you know when its gone bad?
This perfume is alright, but has too much white flower for me.It also smells generic and too floral..
Its a girly floral scent, but for me, I like scents sweeter! :)
This perfume smells pretty much like pear candy to me, nothing else.
this is a new classic in my collection. i adore the way the pear, magnolia, jasmine and vanilla marry into each other. creates a gorgeous scent. its easy accessible and can virtually be purchased everywhere (at least where i live). gorgeous, classic, sexy.
This is my first Britney perfume, I bought it today. Normally I am not a huge fan of celebrity fragrances and a perfume by Britney Spears is not something I would pick but it was only £10 in the shop so what the hell, it won`t come any cheaper than that.
First impressions are rather good - great in fact. This one is a nice, sweet floral on my skin. Nothing extraordinary, not overwhelming, I will wear it as a daytime fragrance. I think its good for days when you just want to smell nice and very girly. Cute bottle too.
Nice one, Britney.
Curious is a light and soft floral fragrance. I have mixed feelings about the opening. It is fruity floral candy and it is a bit synthetic but at the same time I kind of like it. Yes, it does remind me of pear lemonade but it is not unpleasant and it does not stay for long. Jasmine and tuberose in this fragrance are subdued and not very strong. I feel that this scent goes into the base notes pretty quick. I do like the dry down. It is nice warm musk with a touch of florals and woods.
This perfume is for a younger audience but I do see that a mature woman can wear it too (after the pear lemonade waporises). Florals are not very loud in this fragrance and the dry-down is quite nice. I would not call this perfume a unique or special but it is pleasant and safe choice to wear for everyday use. It is a good office perfume. Unfortunately the lasting power is not that great.
candy, playful and unique but it doesnt last for long not only on my hand, after a year of the purchase the smell gone sooooooo bad and the fragrance inside the bottle had mole
This is one of my all time favourites. i always end up coming back to curious because it is a nice light floral, not overpowering and i wear it all year round. curious is not as sweet as fantasy and although i like fantasy, it can be a bit cloying.
i do wish it lasted a bit longer though, but at least this way it doesn't give the people around you headaches!
I had a light version of this awesome scent and i really loved it...
It was so clean, and pure, but very floral, too....i usually don't like floral fragrances, but this one is gorgeous...after one year, the bottle started to smell like perfumed water...kinda' strange...and since then i've never used Curious...it is a sad story...but i'm still falling in love with this beautiful scent...and i really wanna buy it as soon as i can...=^.^=
I was duped into buying this on sale because of the precious bottle. Really, the bottle is just darling with a vintage twist and is the most appealing thing about this perfume. Curious is just like Britney's music: synthesized, mass produced, and aimed to appeal to younger audeinces. The difference is that while Britney's music is provocative, her fragrance is not. Curious just floats away and cannot be stopped! Perhaps there is too much sweet, watery fruit? I can't put my finger on it but there is just something not right about this perfume. It doesnt ever 'ground' itself with appealing basenotes, and thereby just continues with the sickly-sweet akward candied fruit. Very bizarre scent. Good staying power though.
Beautiful sexy daring outspoken deliciously sweet glamourous gorgeous !!! Perfect blend of fruits, greens and flowers. Its extraordinary.
The combination of crisp, green, sweet magnolia with sandalwood and vanilla, makes the sweetness like that of a chocolate.
By the way, I just noticed on the package, this is an Elizabeth Arden product made for Britney Spears.
I usually wear wrapped with love, but I wore this once on a party night and my boyfriend really liked it. So it's a keaper for me!! I love the sweetness mixed with the floral aspect of the parfum.
When it came out in 2004 I was really excited to try it out because I have always been a fan of Britney's music. So I went to the store and sniffed it and I didn't like it at all. Soon after that I gave it another try and still it didn't work for me so I gave it up and started to wait Britney's new fragrances.
But this year I noticed it in a store and I decided to try it again after about five years. Oh, how I loved the first sniff. I sprayed it on my wrist and I coulnd't stop smelling it again and again. I bought it later and now it's one of my favourite perfumes, if not my most favourite now.
First sniff is full of magnolias but when the jasmine comes out I just want to smell it all the time. The perfume starts of pretty fresh and gets a bit sweeter when the vanilla comes out. But it's not too sweet like Fantasy, just about enough sweetness in it to wear it every day and not get sick of it. On me it lasted quite long - over six hours.
It's amazing how my perfume preference has changed and once unlikeable perfume has turned out to be a favourite of mine after five years.
I have a 100 ml bottle with atomizer.
I bought it about 2-3 years ago, but about 1 year it's GREEN and it has a STRANGE SMELL!!! Because the atomizer gets air so the perfume going to a bad and strange smell.
I'll NEVER buy a perfume with atomizer anymore, because of this!!!!
Anyway the fragrance very lovely, fresh, girly, youthful, ideal to all seasons mainly for spring!!:) Not too long lasting, it lasts about 3 hours. But i love it!!!:):)
Just bought this and it reminds me of Bora Bora. I checked the notes and there are some that are the same. For some reason I smell gardenias, so perhaps it is the magnolias I smell. Do they smell the same? As Bora Bora is strong and tropical, so is Curious.
It is deliciously sweet.
I didn't go for this one at first and preferred the fantasy range but now I like it more each day. the magnolia really is awesome and liquid gold like.
I have a mini size of it, on my skin I just smell jasmine but not any notes else and it's not long lasting, strong at first but after 1 hour it's fade out and you can not smell it until sniffing your arm. Suit for simple girl, nothing special at all
On my skin it is not particulary clean nor light smelling. I would be curious to smell it on some of my fellow reviewers as I am obviously missing something.
The top notes are strange and mildy repellant. I am not entirely sure what grape coolaid smells like (is it a cordial??) but this is one nasty brawling pear, punching below its weight with a drowned lotus flower. I am also left wondering where the pepper punch is coming from?
The magnolia trys to lift the rest of this ponderous brew with its gossamer wings but it is heavily weighed down by sloppy pear and heavy spoiling white florals. I can really smell a medicinal tuberose & I feel that this is where the underlying harshness comes from that permeates the length of the perfume.
The drydown is much nicer, adding vanilla in to sweeten & homogenise an otherwise messy composition.
I sprayed this on about 2hrs ago and now what I'm smelling is nice warm caramel. :) it's not at all offensive, in fact, I quite like it, but it is however very boring and light.
My little brother bought me Curious when it 1st came out in 2004. He is madly obsessed w/ Britney! I never thought in a million yrs that I would like Curious but it actually grew on me. Its a nice little floral scent. Its far more sophisticated than I ever thought it could be. I get complements on it all the time. The older ladies I work with LOVE it!! Ive boughten them bottles for their bdays and xmas. Well done Britney. Curious is a winner in my book.
I definitely agree with Sherapop (this may in fact be the only thing we agree on!) when she mentions the sickly grape kool-aid opening to Curious. But after a few minutes it mellows into a comfortable sort of ethyl maltol-laden floral cutie. I don't get the tuberose at all, unfortunately, but it's really not missed.
If you're a sucker for demure white florals and still want a bit of fruit in there, you have to try this!
Vanilla smells so sweet... this parfum says "I'm hereeee" :)
This was my first ever fragrance which my Dad bought me, as it came out when I was a young teen, about 13 or so, and since then, I have gone through about eight bottles, which is a lot! lol:)
Anyways, I think thats partly because even though the scent is original, it doesnt last very long, so I try and use it with the Body Souffle and powder, just to make it last that little bit longer...Definitely one of my favourite Britney frags!
It's very soft and sensual yet very delecate and tempting. i didn't like her one of in control though too loud!
I really like this. A sweet floral scent, who is not overpowering. I love to wear this all day.
I Definately dont like this one,there is some note in it that is very annoying to me.
I really adore this perfume. It's on my all time favorite list. For really when I first tried it; I was not sure if I am going to like it because I'm not a Britney Spears fan but at any way she has a good taste in perfumes at least for Curious.
I love how it's smelles makes me feel light and soft; my BF loves it too.
The problem with it that it don't last for more than 2h.
I love this, its so crisp and pretty!
Curiously enough, Britney Spears CURIOUS smells to me like grape koolaid initially, and then sweet patchouli after a couple of minutes. Truly inexplicable, given the notes. Perhaps the magnolia and lotus mixed with pear and vanilla in musk are creating this patchouli illusion.
While the pseudo-patchouli drydown of this fragrance is quite nice, I really gagged at the opening and do not think that I can muster up the courage to spritz it on again, though my sample vial of eau de parfum is more than half full. Curiosity killed the cat!!!
Update: this is a really nice drydown. I am tempted to hold my breath through the grape koolaid and try again...
I start my review saying that this is a masterpiece.
I can smell magnolia clearly. This scent helps me to imagine a summer evening: it´s hot, and I´m in a foreign country. There are pretty gardens, and I walk along the street with te sun on my face and a soft sea breeze that makes me feel so good.
This is a clean scent, perfect for any moment (day and night, summer or winter) and perfect for teens and young women.
The staying power is really good, so this fragrance is a must have for me.
I had this so many times, and today still love it.
The bottle is original, but I think that Believe´s is much better.
I would recommend to try this, even if you don´t like Britney.
Reminds me a little bit of Ralph Lauren´s "Blue".
I can honestly say when I tried this on my first thought was "What? Am I wearing something?" I doused myself in it an could barely smell it. Maybe it's just my chemistry but it was very very faint. The smell itself, from what I could tell with my wrist firmly pressed against my nose, is interesting but far from exciting. Not beautiful or bad, just blah...curious indeed.
I am a huge fan of Britney's perfumes, But this one is My least favorite. It smells like Candy Soap.
I think what I love about this is the musk base. It's a nice scent that accomplishes "pretty" without an excessive use of fruits and florals.
I REALLY LIKED THIS ONE WHEN IT 1ST CAME OUT, BUT HONESTLY IT REALLY HAS THE WEAKEST STAYING POWER AND AS A RESULT I ENDED UP BUYING THE MATCHING BODY SOUFFLE TO INTENSIFY THE SILLAGE AND LONGEVITY AND IT WORKED... I FOOLISHLY ASSUMED THE SAME ABOUT "BELIEVE" WHEN I PURCHASED IT BUT LATER FOUND OUT I WAS WRONG...
i really don't like this one, because my nose is sayin that it smells like soap (:
and it's actually true. my mum told me to clean the house, and then i found a bottle. (i'm kinda like a dog, because i'm sniffin to a lot of things, yes i'm weird :P)
anyway that soap bottle had a weird smell and then i wondered were i had smell it before. my sister had had it, untill she also could smell the soap thing, like me :D
beautiful bottle.it is clean,fresh,a little sweet,and soft.dont sniff on the nozzle after you spray it on because you will smell alchohol.you shouldnt be doing that but wait a little while and you can smell the nozzle.the atomizer might have some problems.it is at a low price like most other celebrity brands.
i love this fragrance. although it only last about 3 hours on me, but the floral scent is irresistible. i often got compliment for my scent and my bf love this scent on me.
i love the bottle, but this bottle is not portable. if i should go out of town and put it on my bag, the perfume spilled out and make all my stuffs smells very good. i like it, but it also means that i lose lots of perfume from the bottle :(
Commercial and boring scent. That's all.
Boring notes for me.
4/10
i like it smells clean,i can smell the magnolia
Britney's team knows how to market to 20something yr old and to teens. The bottle alone is a seller. I bought this for my teenage daughter and though Brits is not the top of her celebrity list, the fragrance struck a top note with her...she even asked that I try to get the other fragrances for her...the only other female in my family!!!
I love this fragrance! This would be my signature scent if I did not associate it with a bereavement and now just the smell of it can bring back upsetting memories :( If anyone knows of a similar perfume to this let me know!
Its refreshing, fruity but not overly sweeet.
Absolutely adore this, IMHO this is probably the best celebrity fragrance, that i actually adore.
Its pure lush on my skin & smells like no other fragrance, which is why this is so unique. It is a real shame that curious is not credited as well as it should be cz this is her best scent to date.
Smells so beautiful, alluring, subtle yet powerful & really long lasting, simply cannot be accused of copying another fragrance.
On me it smells floral with a hint of sweetness that last all day.
Have it in 50ml & 100ml cz its a bargain.
I absolutely love this bottle. The fragrance is so fresh, clean, young, and sexy. I am far from being a teen, and yet- this smells really great on me! It smells "different," in a really good way. It has great lasting power too. I get excited when I can smell a little whiff of it throughout the day. Once again, so fresh, clean, and sexy. Just a great one...PS: I really love all of Britney's fragrances. I think as far as celebrity sniffs go- she's nailed it.
Sorry but it smells really cheap. I can see the appeal in Fantasy which I do not like but this one is just really bad. Worst of Britney for me. Synthetic and annoying fruity scent.
Light, sweet and floral. I love it. Mostly because it reminds me of when i started seeing my boyfriend, i wore it all the time back then..
An innocent and simple fragrance, unfortunately poor lasting power on me...
When i want pear and vanilla and a soft cosy smell.i wear this one.love it and love the bottle.mwah!
this is really not what i was expecting from britneys first fragrance i was expecting something girly and sweet like fantasy this is quite grown up and almost elegant the notes that really stood out for me were the jasmine and the magnolia its a really nice day scent nice and light and not overpowering the only thing i dont like about it is the staying power it lasted about 2 hours on my skin
I have a love/hate relationship with this perfume because sometimes is very very strong without lasting power & others is so sweet & nice and it last long on my skin,i can´t understand it! i leave it but always came back for more...
Warning: do not mix this and Fantasy by Britney Soears! I just put Fantasy ion over this, and it smells vaugly like burnt rubber. Do not make this misteak!
I really like this fragrance! the bottle is quite charming, and the scent reminds me of a hair solan. the fruit is nice and I like how the flowers smell (this is one of my only flowery scents). I think it could be stronger, but I think that is just because I got a .16 oz bottle splash, so I am using less. Good job, Ms. Spears!
I have mixed feelings about Curious. its very freash & clean but it also has this very weird musky scent. Curious has a pear note and I dont like pear in perfume. when I spray this on my skin it smells really bad...so bad I have to wash it off. my skin chemistry just doesnt work with this one. Thats why I spray it on my clothes, that way it smells the way it supposed to smell. fresh and clean like fabric softener.
Nothing special. Curious is more flowery than fruity. Smells cheap. But for everyday use it could be ok. Not very long lasting. I wouldn't buy it again and wouldn't buy it at all if I was sniffed it first.
Jst gt this scent of my m8 4 xmas and on the first day of wearing it i got 4 compliments!!! loving da bottle too i have tried some of her other scents but non r as nice as Curious. Oh and btw does any one here like Kerry Katona Outragous???! I hate it !!!! haha lol x
Esse perfume é sensacional, algumas pessoas dizem que é para as mais jovens, até pode ser, mas é essa a sensação que ele transmite,jovialidade alegria e disposição, é um pouco doce mas é refrescante ao mesmo tempo, muito feminino e marcante, não é intenso porém é duradoura a sensação de conforto e bem estar. Amo o meu e sempre que acaba eu já compro outro. Bom demais!!!
Love the sent but I seem to be having trouble with it not staying good. It is almost like it turns bad...more like alcohol. I to don't have any trouble with the smaller bottles it is only when I get the big one? Anybody else have this trouble???
I love this perfume. This is one of those fragrances that I will walk away from for a couple of months, even years, but I will always return to it. The name is perfect, Curious, because this is a very curious fragrance, unlike any other. The drydown is so fabulous and longlasting, musk and magnolia rolling into vanilla, and so memorable. Reminds me of young and carefree days.
So after years of wondering what the hype was about Curious, I bought a bottle because the 100ml bottle was on sale for $20US at TJX.
The beginning of the fragrance is a very sharp and cold floral and somewhat alcohol-ish. I almost chucked the bottle because of the opening. After 3 or 4 minutes that sharpness and alcohol faded leaving the heady aroma of magnolia and pear. It's a little strong at this point, but this transition convinced me to let the juice have a full day's wear. As time progressed, Curious became softer and sweeter. The cyclamen and jasmine began to round out the fragrance. The coldness began to disappear and the fragrance becomes a light and lovely floral with the right balance of sweetness. The drydown is a soft musk that reminds me of Coty Wild Musk with flowers. Which is okay because I love that fragrance.
Because it's so strong with my chemistry, I think I'll reserve this for a fall/winter only fragrance. Also, I guess that the problem with the atomizer has made the manufacturer change the top to a spray bottle. I understand that this will help preserve the fragrance, but part of the reason I bought the fragrance is because I wanted an atomizer spray top. Oh well, I guess if this helps keep it fresh, that's okay. Curious is definitely not sophisticated or classic, but worth a purchase. Overall, I rate Curious 7 out of 10.
I think that Curious is the best celebrity perfume ever. This is very attractive smell. This Bottle is unique and special. Love the automizer. Blue colour is very pretty. On me it lasts 4-5 hours. Sad :(
I thought Fantasy is a bit naive, I thought all Britney perfume would be similar, but Curious is different from it, still, it's her style. At the beginning I was able to smell fresh floral notes, which were very nice, but I started to think that it's all about it... And then, afer a few minutes it became more fruity and intense. It surprised me, I wasn't expecting it to turn that way, but I liked it! Curious dries down beautifully, remaining soothing smell of woods and vanilla on your skin. I can also smell pear, even then. This perfume is certainly worth attention!
Edit: Bought it recently for a ridiculously low price. At first I wasn't sure what to think, but then the scent started to develop and... God, I fell in love. At fist fresh like a bouquet of white flowers, then I smell something refreshing, something slightly similar to mint, but no, that's not it, I'd describe it as a refreshing herb... Then it becomes sweeter and simply gorgeous. This is probably the only perfume that I can smell on myslef almost all the time. It doesn't have this elegance like the designers' perfumes have, but it is enchanting and very intriguing. However, I've just realized that it smells better on my friend than on me. On her its a lovely soft vanilla and on me it gets rather herbal. I'm not so in love with it right now, but I understand why people decide to buy it. It must be not enteirely "my" scent.
I loved the body lotion, very feminine and floral..I really want this one! It smells fresh and sensual and the scent last like...forever!
I really like this scent. since its been out, i have owned a few different bottles, wearing ot from time to time. It is such a precious scent. There are really delicate flowers, and soft musks in it. its very curious. i didnt expect this scent from her as a expected fantasy. anyway, great floral scent! love ya brit!
This proved to disapoint me: I find it too strong, even agresive, no soft notes, just violent sweetness. It seems it was made by an inexperienced and extravagant scientist. The fragrance is pretty much like Britney: unexpected, moving, very strong and too colourful. But it surely is someone's favourite.
i rolled my eyes when i first heard britney was making a fragrance but when i smelt curious i was pleasantly surprised. it's a very feminine and sexy fragrance although i find doesn't last very long. i also think the scent from the 30 ml bottle lasts longer than the 50 ml or 100 ml..weird! the bottle is so pretty too
Um...first i bought 15mL bottle and i really love it but when i bought the 100mL i've changed my mind, the smell is not soft and not long last like 15mL bottle. And i still wonder why?
Um...first i bought 15mL bottle and i really love it but when i bought the 100mL i've changed my mind, the smell is not soft and not long last like 15mL bottle. And i still wonder why?
This is my favorite perfume NOW only because TRIBE is toooo hard to get a hold of!!! It is such a clean and fresh smell.
My uncle gave it to me as a gift when it came out...it was a silly joke because I really hate Britney! but....surprise...I like it very much!
It's floral but warm, I can clearly smell pear and vanilla on my skin.
I think it suits my chemistry very well because I always receive lots of compliments with Curious.
I feel a little grown up for this fragrance, but who cares! A small perfume shop near my office has it on sale...maybe this afternoon...
This is the only Britney perfume that I like. It's not my favorite, but it smells alright.
It smells like cotton candy, although it's not sickeningly sweet, it has hints of floral. Soft and powdery scent.
This really isn't a bad scent. Testing it at Kohl's last night, all I smelled was candied flowers..? It's sweet light and cute but definately one of her more childish fragrances. The lasting power is nill. If I had a daughter that was in her early teens or preteens, this would be a good starter fragrance for her.
This scent is sweet and fun. It sorta reminds me of cotton candy. My roommate in college wore this and I would steal a sprtiz once in a while. It is very nice but not something that gets peoples attention. This scent isn't bad, but if you are looking for depth in your perfume this isn't the scent for you.
When Curious hit the market I can't believe I was smelling a really good perfume from a pop artist!.. that's maybe cuz i thought it would be a complety disaster, but for my surprise i feel in love with this intense fragance. Most of the floral usually evaporate so soon, but curious remain on the skin a good time..
Vanilla, Pear, Tuberose, Musk, Magnolia.. What a Combination!!
Curious makes you feel Fresh, Sweet and young.. I highly recomend this fragance for teenangers.. and for a first date!
So forget prejudices and try Curious!
I was given this fragrance as a gift... was kind of unsure about trying it. But it was actually beautiful! I've never gotten so many compliments. I was quite surprised!
Ok, so to be a good sport, I'm trying this again...
Hmmm...why do I smell boiled lima beans at the beginning? What IS that? After a minute or two, I smell the middle notes. The tuberose & jasmine aren't as pronounced as they are in Secret Obsession, probably bec. of the cyclamen mixed in. And that's when it becomes too cloying for me. =( From here on out, that's all I get. No bottom notes to soften the blow. Sorry Brit Brit...but this one is a no-no for me. You're dancing skills are superb, but I can't say the same about this particular fragrance. Sorry Curious lovers! =( I tried!
I know the whole point of Britney Spears Perfumes are aimed at teenagers and young women. But i got this fragrance for my mother because there is a sense of elegance to it and i think this is down to the very womanly floral notes.
I found a great use for my bottle of Curious. I stray it on my sheets and bedding. Its wonderful on fabric! I fall asleep to a nice floral clean scent and I wake up to a nice floral clean sent. Its perfect! Daisy Marc Jacobs is also a wonderful scent to fall asleep and wake up too.
This was my first fragrance ever. Pretty bottle and box really impressed me. The fragrance is very fresh and sharp. Its' not girly or feminine at all. Just a fresh sharpness. I can smell magnolia.
I cant believe im admitting this but here it goes! Ive never really truly been madly in love w/ this fragrance. I dont think i ever even really liked it! The only reason i have it is because Britney is the LOVE of my LIFE! I know its her 1st fragrance and its so damn popular but it just never really WOWED me! Its her only scent i dont love! Fantasy, Midnight Fantasy, Hidden Fantasy, In Control, and Believe are so WONDERFUL! Its just a plain white floral! Maybe im just not into white florals. So sorry Brit! Curious is just not for me. But Curious IN CONTROL is a whole other story! Its in my top 10 all time favs! The one thing i do love about Curious is its packaging! I freakin love the bottle and the black, blue, and pink outer packaging! Its just Gorgeous! Love u Brit!
Beautiful top notes. Got hypnotized by the shape and color of the bottle.
Unfortunatelly, it doesn't last on my skin.
Its Curious' 5 year anniversary in September! I wonder if Elizabeth Arden & Britney have any plans for it? It would be fun to have like a limited edition bottle w/ her signature on it or something? Maybe a pure perfume form of the fragrance in a really stunning, crystal bottle or different packaging? I dont know! Possibilies are endless! I sure hope they do SOMETHING for it! 5 years is a big deal in my book when it comes to the fragrance world!
uuuh lets see curious LOL it's a nice floral/fruity/vanilla/jasmine/musky fragrance while first spritzing i smell pear which is very noticeable then it worms up to a nice soft and sexy floral notes and after a while vanilla takes place leaving you with a vanilla field LOL great fragrance for all girls NICE!!!
Not for me. I prefer Britney's Fantasy. This one smells cheap, imo. But the bottle is cute.
Definately a light floral "teen" fragrance. Opens as a fruity floral as the pear is detectable and luscious! Settles to pleasant, light florals (magnolia and jasmine being predominant for me) and eventually the musky, woody notes come through. Uncomplicated and very girly.
I love it. It used to be my signature scent until I grew out of it. I still love it, but I find it a bit more appealing to teens now. Very girly and flirty and feminine.
this is my favorite fragrance so far. Its very soft, but strong. It compliments my own smell. I think it is very sweet and subtle.
This is a really nice and cute perfume, I wear it from time to time. It doesn't last very long on my skin, however, I really like the bottle.
One of my all time favourites! Magnolia, vanilla and musk blend perfectly together! Very feminine and sexy! And the bottle is so pretty! A real perfume treasure :)
This is a perfect example of a young teen girl perfume, it is so familiar to me because it resembles something I wore when I was 12 or 13. It's cute but I'm older now and I need something that exudes young woman not young teen. I got this in a sample today and just couldn't resist spraying abit, turns out I washed it off about 20 minutes later. I smell citronella and the magnolia is too strong, I also don't get any vanilla which would be the only thing that would save it for me! Sorry not for me but perfect for daughters, young cousins or nieces.
Curious is a good name for Britney's first perfume.it's very sweet and fruity at the first sniff.I get some fresh notes like litchi mixed with lotus well.it's not insisting on being sexy nor beauty.it's just expressing herself,like the times in which she sang "Oops I did it again".
I enjoy the sweetness of the first notes.it's really nice,without being too sweet.
but the middle notes are just a disappointment.it seems to fade away so quickly.although still there is the scent,but it's very very light and after an hour it's just sweetness of vanilla.
the long lasting power is weak.it's like the name.it's just curious to discover the world and when you want to notice the scent,it's almost gone just like a impulsive curiosity.
This scent opened with white florals; after about 20 minutes I smelled gardenia - I swear it to you. I have no idea why I smelled gardenia when there is none here, but that is what I smelled. That lasted a good long time, then there was sort of a soapy scent that lingered. I would say the scent lasted, altogether, for about 5 or 6 hours. It isn't bad, but it's a bit "generic" for me.
i just got this perfume like 2 hours ago and i love it it has a unique smell not like those other perfumes that smell like cheap candy i could smell right away the magnolia
I don't usually smell the so-called "celeb perfumes" whenever I'm at a perfumery.However I read a lot of positive reviews on Curious and the bottle was also very tempting, so I had to give it a try.From what I can remember it was very powdery, soft and innocent, not really my kind of perfume.Maybe I have to smell it again, just to be sure.=)
Anyone who doesn't appreciate this perfume has a broken nose or head. Its peaceful, not atoll fruity and just smells fabulous. The pear adds a sparkle to the magnolia and lotus and the sandalwood and blonde woods leave you tingly for hours. This is a one of a kind that i thank god now costs only 25$ for the 3oz. bottle
Yuck. I got this as a gift, and though I love the bottle, I hate the juice inside. It is as plastic and one-dimensional as its creator. Curious reminds me of Plastecine modeling clay I used to play with as a child, which isn't a plus for a perfume. Thankfully, the plastecine is short-lived, as this scent fades in record time.
Nice I can smell the magnolia which is beautiful and this is one of the 1st celebrity fragrances I ever bought and I like it! I went and got another bottle today because I am running low.Best bottles to buy are the 1.7 or smaller because of the pumps that never seem to work long enough to finish a 3.3 oz bottle!
I bought it for my mom
First time she didn't like it b'coz it's not has strong smell and for 4-5 hrs ago she thought that the smell was gone with the air !!
BUT !!
after that my mom LIKE IT !!
and ask me to buy for her one more bottle ^w^"
I have to admit I was pretty surprised with Curious. I read reviews prior to buying and many have described this as a "girly, sweet, candy-like" fragrance. So I had the impression that this is going to smell like your typical youthful tween fruity/gourmand . Which was why I was so surprised when I tried this on, because it is not something I would've expected from Britney Spears. Starts out really sharp floral and stays floral throughout, but the sharpness rounds out after awhile leaving you with an after-scent that's light and clean. I'm not sure what it is (not good at distinguishing fragrance notes) but there is something in the top/middle that is very nostalgic to me. That note --probably magnolia or jasmine, or even both-- reminded me a lot of my grandmother. She used to wear a body splash that smelled a lot like this...or maybe it was the flowers in her garden? Either way, Curious brings back great memories me. I think I'll grow to appreciate this fragrance more.
The only thing I feel I must complain about is the bottle (I have the 100ml bottle with the bubble atomizer) . My goodness. the bottle slipped from my hand and landed on a cardboard box only an inch away, and somehow gushed out 5ml of the juice. UGH. I don't know how it happened, it probably leaked from the hose. I think it would probably be best to just go with nozzle spray.
edit:
The juice spoils way to quickly. I've only had this perfume for three months and already some of the notes in the composition are gone and the juice is smells more alcohol-y than before. Most of my fragrance only start to spoil after 3 years. On top of that, the lasting power is now very weak. Very disappointing. I don't think I'd repurchase, as much as I liked the scent.
too much candy...
i can't smell most of the ingredients they said here...
too girly and tenn scent
I just love the bottle, the sprayer is cheaply made but the scent grew on me, a lil powdery but yet its wearable.
A nice white floral. Plus it has a cute bottle.
Very girly and floral. I love curious. Lasts a long time too. The way I test how well a fragrance lasts is before bed, I spray it on my wrist and the bottom of my shirt and then smell it in the morning. Curious, Believe, midnight fantasy, and fantasy all last through the night.
This is the first Britney fragrance I bought.
I remember craving this fragrance when it first came out. I would always spray this on me whenever I passed the fragrance counter at my local department store. I was so young at the time, it would be at least another 4 years before I actually owned Curious.
When I finally owned a bottle of this, I rarely used it. I wanted to wear stronger and louder fragrances and Curious just seemed too light at the time. It wasn't until my perfume collection started spiralling out of control that I came back to this scent.
In the warmer months Curious really blossomed. The fragrance was light, flowery yet musky. On the skin it was so soft, delicate and feminine.
Curious is what I'd call a soft and pretty floral scent. In the opening you can smell the pear blending with the jasmine, tuberose and magnolia which has been really well done. This fragrance started my love for white florals and tuberose based scents.
The drydown is quite musky yet the vanilla adds a slight sweetness which rounds off the scent nicely.
I'm not ashamed to say that I wore this fragrance during this year's Summer, every day until every single drop was gone. The scent just left me so refreshed and clean-feeling.
The lasting power unfortunately wasn't great, (possibly the reason why I haven't repurchased this fragrance). However, if I received this fragrance as a gift I would not complain.
Overall, Curious is a distinctive fragrance best suited to young girls searching for something light, flirtatious and pretty.
When I first saw CURIOUS I bought it without trying any. I just wanted the pretty bottle.
On the first spay you notice the top notes of magnolia and lotus flower, a few hours later you are surprised with the mouth-watering aroma of tangy pear, then the dreamy base of vanilla-infused musk, which lasts throughout the day.
On the minus side this scent is very strong, so spray lightly.
Other people describe CURIOUS as sweet & light, but the top notes give a sharp first impression on me.
CURIOUS has a unusual sweet/sour combination that will keep me coming back for more, migranes be damned!!
It's distinctly magnolia to me, but the musk and vanilla smooth it to a very feminine, soft fragrance. Almost yummy. Not what I expected Britney's fragrance to smell like. Sultry and flirtatious, but not outright sexy.
I usually associate magnolia with perfumes targeted to more "mature" audiences, but this has made me appreciate it more.
I have to say I absolutely detested this..quite possibly the worst fragrance I have ever had the misfortune to try...I ended up scrubbing it off with a nail brush..It's certainly pervasive !
It's a shame, because I think the bottle looks really loveley.
"I adore Britney!Curious is all about women like Britney.when i wear the scent,i feel as if i can be sexy, ,stylish and confident just like her too.It smell divine!"
I really like this perfume. It's a fresh clean scent not overpowering, and guys seem to like it!
i hope i won't be dissappointed. I just ordered this fragrance:)I think i will like it, cause it has vanilla, which i adore in perfumes:D
I just have to say that I really wanted to like this one b/c of the pretty bottle! and it comes with a cute old fashioned atomizer! however the alcohol scent is way too strong and it covers up any fruity or floral smells...
I have to say that curious is unlike any other perfume I have smelled in a long time.It is definitely a fragrance that you can pick out in a crowd.
I get a lot of magnolia in this perfume.It is a great spring scent.It would go well with a summer dress & a field full of greens.It is good for barbecues & any outdoor event.It is kind of strong but it's not a musky or powdery strong....It's all floral(A sweet floral if that makes any sense?)A spray or two will do the trick ;)
It is a very girly, feminine & floral scent but it doesn't change much from first spray to dry down,(at least on me).It actually smells the same on a card as it does on my skin.It lasts a very long time though & that to me is great ;)I put it on at 5 am & now at 1:30 in the afternoon it smells just as good as it did when I first applied it.
Granted it's not a scent for everyone & in my opinion it isn't an every day scent but it is a gorgeous concoction that if worn the right way it smell's fantastic
I was surprised that i actually liked this. It has a very nice vanilla note, which smells really good with the magnolia. After I applied it, I kept getting a whiff of something that made me happy, and it was me!
*edit* I also think that if it weren't for the magnolia, this would bear a strong resemblance to Dior's J'adore.
Curious lives up to its name by being both sensual and girlishly innocent at the same time. It's feminine, warm and strong but in a pleasant, soothing and dazzling way. There's just the perfect amount of finesse and ingredients. One more note and it would've ruined the whole thing by turning it to an intoxicating and overpowering potion. Luckily Brit knew the tricks of the trade just right and gave us a wonderful and enjoyable perfume. Excellent!
I like this one! Its unique, the Magnolia, wood scents with musk but not too much, it comes out kinda powdery. This is the one I wear when I am totally not in the mood for my usualy Sweet foodie scents. It is quite the oppasite. Guys always seem to know what it is and like it. Its a great price and a great perfume.
This was my only fragrance for about 2 years. I used up 4 bottles.
Everyone told it smelled good. In the beginning it's not overpowering and is pretty balanced. It leaves a beautiful trail after you when you walk. The stupid thing is it's different. The french made perfume is more calm yet hasn't got the note american made has. Both of them are excellent yet not the same. It has kind of weak staying power, but if sprayed on hair it should do it.
I bought souffle and it really is good to layer this perfume, lasts very long and smells even better than perfume along.
The worst thing is atomizer on 3.4 oz bottle as it makes perfume evaporate or spoil. And it sometimes pisses me of, because it's sometimes refuses to spray.
I had to decant my very last 10ml, because sprayer doesn't spray at all.
P.S. Here we are, 20 years old. Funny, but I still find myself loving this perfume :o. Tried it not so long ago at local store and it's still so good! Weird. I often get bored of celebrity perfumes before the bottle is gone, but this is a winner for me :3 I'ma buy that 5th bottle, yeah.
A romantic, girlish fragrance. Smells clean and fruity but I prefer more sophisticated, signature scents.
thankz...jonr951
well thayts the same thing my frens told me...who is using the curious perfume...they smelled my bottle n said this isnt the same smell has they have....
lovely17. i find the lasting power quite excellent! i put it on last night and i could still smell it on my wrist this afternoon at 12. its a good buy for its lasting power and of course the fragrance itself is just lovely.
I thought it would be a celebrity-fragrance like all the other ones, but this is different. This is special, and I really liked it.
To light for me, smells like schampoo. In my defense: I won it in a magazine. Nothing i would buy, but it looks pretty in the bathroom.
too much white flower for my taste but quite nice..
From all of Britney's fragrances, this first one is the best one. I like to spray it on from time to time. After testing, I bought a 100ml bottle, used less than a half and the atomizer broke, I had to toss it out. Now I have 30ml, I love the drydown.
Surprisingly, it is quite good. Not yummy as intended but a nice one. I do like it better than the awful Fantasy, since this one is more subdued and wearable.
Yet, all of her perfumes end in a gum-like note I dislike.
not a fan, but i always notice when someone is wearing it. i guess it sticks out a little then :).
I love Curious. The way the magnolia, pear, vanilla, and musk blend together is so pretty. If you are a lover of magnolia, you have to give Curious a try. I reach for this A LOT- definitely in my top ten. A+
i love the magnolia on it, so clean and not overwelming. lovely and soft fragrance!!!
At first I liked this on my skin. It intially smelled really fresh. Then after about 15 minutes it did start to smell fake & like a cleanser. Too bad, because I really like the bottle with the pretty sprayer.
I like it. It's when I'm feeling cutesy and girlie. Nothing about it says sexy or classic or romantic. It's more like, "fun, flirty, cutesy, girlie." Teenybopper. That's the word.
