Curve for Men Liz Claiborne for men

First day of wearing, a guy asked me how I smelled so good. Same day,I was walking in front of a girl and she exclaimed, "someone smells good!" came up to me and said, "it's you!" She then told me that I should be a model for cologne! lol

Curve was one of my first serious buys and it is definately a great starter fragrance. Very youthful and playful yet sexy. I would recommend this to high school teens or college freshmen ;)

Projection: 7/10 (doesn't offend anyone)
Longevity: 6/10 (sucks on my skin)
Uniqueness: 9/10 (so far its the only scent like it)
Will it get you laid: hell yeah!

A crisp green men's scent that misses being the typical aquatic. Nice.

My husband works in an office and everytime he wears this he gets tons of compliment. And when I smell it on him.....I just want to eat him!

I think this cologne smells wonderful on almost every guy I've smelled it on. The only downside is that I don't find that it lasts all that long.

I really liked this sent in highschool. Its a really great starter for young men. I believe u can almost smell the youth in it. However its not sophisticated enough for anyone over the age of 18. Curve is a great sent and perfect for a teens first cologne, but if ur still buying it in ur 20's grow up and get some D&G lol.

I really liked this fresh, clean green scent in high-school -- probably when I was around 16. A friend of mine wore it and swore by it. Being relatively new, and seemingly marketed to that age group, it was pretty popular at the time. It's a fun scent that has a lot of nostalgia for me.

However, now that I am 26 this sweet, floral scent seems dated to me. Whether it's my tastes or MY taste (chemistry/physiology) that have changed more, I don't like the way it smells on me anymore. Also, it's a LOT more synthetic than I remember.

I agree with another review that this is a great gift for teens to early-twenties clubbing type. Fresh, lasting scent with a gradual but dynamic drydown (with lingering citrus notes). A nice, green summer or spring time scent, Curve has enough powdery, crisp herbal tones to bring it through the year and keep it fresh.

Sillage: 7/10
Longevity: 8/10
Overall: (Then: 8/10 -- Now: 6.5/10)

This stuff just never gets old. I like it on whoever I smell it on. For the last decade it has never failed. When I ask a young man what he is wearing that smells so nice, he says "curve".

I keep getting this every christmas.
It's a modern young male fragrance for the 18-20s clubbing crowd. it's typical and clean, musty citrus Bergamot is obvious.
it's rather similar to YSL's L'Homme, bright and clean, almost an "oily" quality which i like. It's young, although i prefer more mature fragrances. This is an excellent gift for some younger male college student type.

i can't help but think the dry-down smells like.. dry paper. Not unpleasant though, great for the Workplace. Extremely Similar to Bora Bora

Great fregrance for an affordable price.

Curve is without a doubt, Claiborne’s best seller cologne for men and for good reasons, this fragrance smells awesome, it has great projection and longevity and the price is affordable for anybody. This is one of the most popular aromatic greens that came from the 90’s (Eternity, XS are other well known green from the era). The aromatic greens are my favorite and this is one that started it all for me.

I really like the ginger, lemon and pineapple with juniper berries in this fragrance; I think they mix very well with the other notes. The cedar and the vetiver blend smoothly with the floral notes. The only problem with Curve is that every guy/man/kid owns a bottle and this cologne. Curve can be found everywhere is sick! You can find this at your local store, major drugstores and discount department stores!! I mean, even the bathroom attendant has this stuff for sale!!

When you put this on, people know what you are wearing (Curve is unmistakable) and they also know it’s cheap! So, people will probably think of you as the guy wearing good but cheap cologne and I don’t think you will impress anybody with this fragrance in 2011+. DO NOT GET ME WRONG, this is great stuff and I love it. Curve smells a lot better than many other overpriced fragrances out there (not worth mentioning)and I highly recommend Curve to anybody. This is heading to be a classic (if not already).

This is a safe buy for anybody. Women LOVE it!! they go crazy with this one and if women love it, you got to have it or at least try it. I own a 4.2 bottle, the bottle is half empty but once this is gone I am not going to replace it with a new bottle. I want to move away from Curve for a while until people leave this one alone or until it becomes a hard to find and its popularity declines.

I went on a date with a man who was so handsome, six foot three, and so funny! When I first met him in town I walked over to him and hugged him and OMG HE SMELLED AMAZING!! I told him so and he told me he wore Curve for men. I don't see him anymore but wow, this fragrance has left an impression on me!

SIMPLEMENTE DIVINO, MUY MASCULINO E IMPECABLE¡¡¡

Curve is the best smell for cheap I swear I love all theyre perfumes!!!

This cologne is a perfect example of how a fragrance can smell so different on different people, depending on how it mixes with a person's body chemistry. In my lifetime I've smelled Curve for Men on probably 194,825,603 guys and sometimes it can smell cheap and pedestrian and sometimes it smells so amazing, I can't believe it when they say they're wearing Curve. My boyfriend and his brother both wear this and, on his brother, it smells just like it does in the bottle- like an overpowering, glorified AXE body spray. BUT on my boyfriend, it smells unbelievably good (and I'm not just biased here because he's my bf- he's gotten compliments from tons of people, random strangers, even other men.) People never guess that he's wearing Curve, they just tell him he smells so good. My advice would be to test it out and have someone smell you after the dry down to see how it works with your body chemistry- it's hit or miss but sometimes you just strike gold.

I saw a 1 oz. version of this for $5 and thought what the heck, I'll try it blind. What the heck, indeed. I sprayed a little on my wrist to try it out, and it seemed fairly inoffensive; kind of a light woodsy scent. Over the course of the next three hours, it morphed into one of the most disgusting things I have ever smelled. Earthy putrid lake water is the only way of I can think to describe this. It actually made me nauseated, no exaggeration. I finally threw in the towel at the 3 hour mark, and scrubbed it off in the sink. Took a whiff, and it seemed to have been eradicated. About 20 minutes later and I felt it creeping back. A shower finally got it off for good. Maybe it just reacted poorly with my body chemistry, since I notice that a lot of people have given this fragrance a thumbs up.

There are some fragrances of which I am not fond, however I have never run across a fragrance before that actually made me sick to my stomach like this one did. At least I didn't waste a lot of money on it.

I also picked up a 1 oz. version of Curve Crush at the same time. It was not nearly as offensive, but I could still detect a faint hint of that offensive lake water note lurking in the background. These are the only two Curve scents I have tried, but if these two are any indication of the brand quality, I will be steering clear in the future. Grade: F

Great price, Great smell, and Great summer scent AWSOME !

This was my signature scent when I was 13 years old and followed me into high school and even my first year in college. I'll tell you right now, it has never failed me.....EVER!!!! I still wear it from time to time and when I do, I understand why this is still a best seller and still very popular. It was insane how women swarmed me every time I wore it and even now that I'm older, it has that same effect! Even the bottle is beautiful. It's truly something unique and complex and I've never smelled anything like it. Describing this scent is too difficult though. The note breakdown is crazy and might be the reason this scent is hard to put into words.

Basically, it's opening is a green, sweet, fruity, damp moss. The middle is a sweet ginger, floral combination that becomes musky, mossy, fruity (pineapple), and extremely woody, with hints of amber and light pepper. It still maintains that sweetness from the ginger throughout as well. Think of L'Homme by YSL with a heavy moss and heavy woods. Curve is something along those lines.

It draws many compliments and best of all, it can be worn by anyone, any age, at any time of the year! It gets a lot of flack from people saying it's a scent geared more toward the younger crowd but I've smelled this on older gentlemen and they've pulled it off nicely. I can't rave enough of how amazing this scent is to me and truly, no positive review gives it enough credit so I suggest that anyone should consider having this one in their collection! Not sold, well then did I mention it's dirt cheap? Grab yourself a bottle and try it!

On another note, I'm sad to mention that this scent has indeed been reformulated. Although I don't have any confirmed documentation etc, my old bottles compared to my new ones do not lie. The new formulation doesn't contain that green, sweet, fruity, damp mossy accord in the top notes anymore. It's toned down immensely, and the drydown seems flat. The notes aren't in sync like they were in the old formulation, and the overall quality of this scent is cheap and overly synthetic. As it was, the old formulation was already synthetic smelling, but now, it just smells like chemicals. It's a shame that this is what people are sniffing now when they sniff this. The old formulation used to last 10+ hours on me with beastly projection! 3 sprays was all I needed for a whole day but now, this stuff is lucky to give me 4 hours and doesn't project well at all! Maybe that's why the negative reviews on this have seemed to appear more and more when I look it up. The love for it has ceased but you can't blame it on Curve, blame the cheap companies who hold back on quality and still charge premiums! The old formulation is far superior to the cheap clone they're trying to pass off as the current Curve!

This is the first cologne my wife bought for me during our courtship.I absolutely love this fragrance and better yet,she loves it on me.I have been trying other scents lately but am now itching for another bottle of this fragrance.It has a fruity/citrusy opening which is suprisingly nice,since I usually dont go for the fruitier scents and then the drydown is a awsome amber and musk scent with a hint of cedar.This is a great everday fragrance for a man.Liz Claiborne hit a home run with this one.

At the very top - Bug spray (20 seconds), then for about 20 minutes...fruity bug spray, like off skintastic. Then light and fruity...must be the bergamont, though I've never smelled one.

Maybe 10 years ago if I was under 25 and a little strapped on cash this would have been a great staple in my fragrance wardrobe. Now I find it just be plain boring with the sweetness coming from synthetic florals and that kind of boring soapy dry down. I would wear it in the spring or fall evenings, but there are just so many other great fragrances after 15 years that I wouldn't even bother today. I think this is definitely a fragrance that is more about the person wearing it then is the actual notes. It's not horrible, and has very good longevity, average sillage, but it's just not in my age range nor anything that I want to revisit. I think Liz Claiborne does a much better job with women's perfumes than they do with men's cologne. So the verdict:

Bottle: 7/10 -- nothing special, and I really do not like yellow
Sillage: 7/10
Longevity 8/10
Scent back in the day 8/10, today 7/10.

Definitely a popular scene that damn near everyone has. nonetheless, it's a classic fragrance that doesn't got unnoticed. It's light but lasting and unique. I like it, it's fun. My name is Mike and I APPROVE this review!

i have this curve its very light smelling and better to wear at night or in the fall in the summer you sweet it off and the smell is gone after 5mins so wear at night or in the fall of winter

Simple, dull, synthetic, fruity fragrance that oozes cheap ingredients. It smells like freshly laundered clothes using cheap detergent. Stay away if you want something more complex, intellectual and natural. This boring, cheap version of Boss bottled was a waste of my money.

i made this review based on a 5ml miniature of this perfume. this is a refreshing perfume. maybe the colour is yellow, but the smell is blue. it is a refreshing scent without being harsh or overpowering. when i said refreshing don't think about soaking in citrus element, but more like a combination of tropical fruit that is mix with an earthy notes and herbs.

I just wanted to point out that if you'r getting this colonge then you better ready for all the ladies coming your way, I wore this for the first tine when I was going to the movies with a lady friend and she's hooked, she kept telling me how nice I smelled and like 10 mins after our "date" was over, she called me and was like WTF were you wearing today, I need to get it for my man" I was trying not to and she got so MAD that I wasn't telling her wat it was, so yea the ladys seem to be loving it...

I wore it back in the day, but now everybody wears it and its quite a common scent so i like things with a little more of a kick.

As for the scent its citrusy like many others but the mahogany and precious woods, veviter and green notes really make it stand out from all the other sporty citrus frags

Smells good. Girls absolutely love it, but it doesnt last long at all.

one of those smells people will notice and like

This is a very good one. It is in the same genre as Eternity, Polo Sport, Cool Water and Fierce - but sweeter than those. Like 212 Men, the sweetness of it limits its use to young guys only. On me the scent lasts forever and goes through several changes while on the skin. Smells good in all of its phases. Can't go wrong with it if you're 13-25.

love the drydown, lasts 12+ hours for me

This one reminds me of my first love, it smells soooo sexy! But I dont know if its the actual smell of this that makes it sexy or the memory of the man that wore it. Put it this way...it got him a lot of action whenever he wore it.....

Smell is very synthetic and generic....Many bath soaps smell like this....I guess, this scent is overrated....

EDIT:

now i realize what it smells like..Smells like rubbing alcohol to me...god, i regret buying this one..

EDIT2:

Now I know why some men love this scent, coz it really smells like CK Eternity....try it...for me, not so special..

Longevity in tropical countries is waaaaaay too low...2 hrs tops...probably good for winter (well, no winter here)

This has been around for enough years that I can call it classic, but I don't own it, and I won't write a review until I buy one, but just a friendly suggestion for those who live in the US: buy it from Marshall. Marshall sells it almost always and as you know it's cheaper.

I'm a 25 year old woman and personally I think this stuff smells SOOO SEXY on men! MMMMMmm I love it!

I always love a cheapy but goody and this is one of them. I get surprisingly really good sillage out of this and good longevity. I'm on my second bottle now and im just going to go after the large 4.2 ounce now. Only problem that I can think of with this fragrance is that many people know about it and wear it. I actually have a friend that is on his second 4.2 oz bottle of this stuff. In my opinion, best scent from Curve. Oh ya, versatile fragrance that many can wear.
9 out of 10 Solid every day frag/ signature fragrance that can be found for a cheap price.

Oh this stuff is so warm and fuzzy. My son wears this and women come to him like flies. It smells so good on him. I guess it is his signature as he has worn Armani, Lucky , Tom Ford , Dirty English and many more but he always comes back to this and the price is ridiculously affordable. An awesome non-offensive MAN smell. LOVE this !!!!

I just recently got my first bottle of this. Because of all the reviews I had read about it smelling so unique and awesome I had very high hopes for this one. The smell isn't unique for sure but it doesn't stink to the point I wouldn't wear it. It is also extremely light to where I can barely smell it and last about 2-3 hours. Maybe I got a fake bottle or something? Oh well, it was only $25.

This is a great casual scent that I've always enjoyed. This is one of those scents that I wear when I want to feel clean and fresh. It's great for those settings where you're in close contact with people because the scent is light and won't overpower anyone. It's a very airy green scent that even though doesnt last very long has a very soothing smell that i always come back for.

Para mi es la mejor fragancia que a tirado al mercado Liz clairbone es un perfume que te dura el dia entero y por mas que sudes se te mantiene intacto y mas en paises tropicales como en el que vivo.

I actually got this before Curve Soul and found it at the grocery store and it has become one of my favorite green scents. Liz Claiborne has a real way with men's scents and this one is just great...

This starts with a freshness composed of juniper,lemons and soft florals of neroli and lavender, the pineapple adds to the sweetness but does not stand out. The heart is herbal (sage and corriander), fresh (cactus and ginger) and warm (cardamom). The violet is nice in this and the bergamot keeps things lively. This is such a clean scent, despite so many notes and nuances. The drydown has a very woody feel (cedar, sandal, mahogany) but it's airy and open, like a great forest. Vetiver and pepper keep things earthy and warm as amber and musk finish off with a slightly oriental feel. This is more subtle than most green fragrances, and on the right person very, very sexy...

Sillage: average to good
Longevity: above average
Overall: 3.5/5

I was never surrounded by this on everyone, so I was never turned off or bored by this, and find that it is not that mainstream anymore. This is a good all year scent if you want something subtle and green but not overly herbal or fresh. The cooler days bring the spices and woods to the fore and the hot ones bring out the sweetness and the freshness. Quite nice and never boring to me...

I got a sample for sometime. I think it's clean and fresh but a bit smokey. It surely will fit well during fall or summer night.

This fragrance is one of the best everyday scents to wear and whats better? You can find a 4.2oz bottle for only $20! Great casual scent that is sexy and relaxed. Only problem is that it is old school and everybody has it BUT its not as overused as Acqua Di Gio or Cool Water. I might have to buy a bottle just for nostalgia sake.

Plus, this cologne will last FOREVER. I sprayed it on my shirt/chest on Friday and could still smell it nicely on Sunday evening.
10/10

Curve for Men by Liz Claiborne it smell so clean and fresh i like it a littel bit but its not long lasting it goes always in a hour or less almost everyone has at least a bottel of it so all the ladies know when you wear curve because they smell it on every guy liz claiborne did a great job making a fragrance that ladies love at a very low price

MindPhlux, what does a store carrying a product have to do with the quality of the scent? All of those places you've named carry guerlain products as well. It doesn't matter where you get the scent. What matters is the quality, and this one is top notch. Women everywhere know this scent. It's like kryptonite to them

if you're the fun-loving, athletic type, this works EVERY time. Women know the scent and are still drawn to it. Many say its a high school scent. You are right. It displays a simple, youthful exuberance which many ultra-complex colognes simply cannot match. Forget about beaches, yachts, and formal galas. Just go to lunch, a casual dinner and a movie. Live a little.

haha..i used to spray this bottle on myself also..sweaters, pillows,etc. this is one of my favorite cologne on a man..my boyfriend actually gave me my own bottle just to have it to sniff!!!

great fragrance but does not last long at all.when i wear it after 2hrs its all gone.very funny but nice smell honestly

I think Liz Claiborne does a pefect job in creating great scents at very low prices.

This one is very good also.

Pineapple. That's I smelled the whole time. It's nice and clean. But it's Pineapple. A whole lot of it. ... and woodsy.

I like it but it's not for me just like Guess Suede and DSquared He Wood. I light young smell. Enjoyable. Not for me though.

this is one of the most mysterious scents ive smelled it totally gives a citrus vibe when u first spray it and dries into something rich and deep. the mahogany and exotic woods are SO well blended with remnants of the green citrus top that it gives a very masculine and sporty feel, and is a very laid back great smelling scent for all occasions

My Best friend goes gaga over this perfume and Im looking forward to getting one. :-)

This scent is NOT overrated, I find it incredibly sexy. :)

I still have a soft spot for Curve- it reminds me of my guy friends in middle school. Good times.

Curve is very refreshing and very wearable.

This scent carried me through high school. Very fresh and green. Supposed to be worn by teens but everyone seems to be wearing it these days and that's no surprise because this is the one scent that make people say "you smell nice!"

My tango partner wear this, I love it on him.When a man smells fresh it totally beats smelling muskier/smokier...

This is the cologne my boyfriend wears, so I completely adore it.

It's a noticeably unique scent. If I am in a room and someone is wearing it, I can tell immediately. I find myself asking, "ARE YOU WEARING CURVE?" It's delicious.

The perfect warm, sexy scent for men that's a bit more affordable. I would recommend it.

definately a good green fresh scent and good 4 the price but not anything u wanna wear to get real attention or compliments

Vibrant with longevity. It's been around for 10 or more years, but some women still love it.

Even though I'm a girl, I used to wear this fragrance myself in high school. I loved it- thought it was very clean. It reminded me of lime, woods, and musk!

It's OK, but nothing special. It's easy on the nose, but it's too simple. Also, it doesn't last too much, just two hours or so.

I believe this could qualify as one of *the* most overrated Men's frangrances.

Honestly.

This scent is really nice, I think the bergamont, coriander and cedar make such a sexy combo. Its green but the pepper almost changes the whole makeup. Its just musky enough to make it masculine. I detect no pineapple what so ever.

this was my first scent ever! i bought it when i was like 11 or 12 w my xmas money! i loved it for awhile but ive since moved on to the great d&g the one. curve is a great scent and perfect for being a teens first cologne! maybe someday ill purchase it again.

I´ve heard that this one is so popular in America. Here in Finland no one has ever even heard of it..
Would someone like to put a rewiew, would be cheap to order for my boyfriend, even though it wouldnt turn out to be good.

Positive side would be that no one else wouldnt have it :)
