Liz Claiborne:
Curve
We all know the famous Curve by Liz Claiborne. It's
fresh, green, slightly synthetic, but most of all very very cheap.
Because it's dirt cheap, it's very popular. Every boy
has had a bottle of the green stuff when they were a teenager. The invigorating
smell brings back memories of the good old days. Though this is only the case
for American people.
Where I live (Belgium) this stuff is very hard to come
by. I got my bottle of Curve from T.J. Maxx when I visited NYC. It cost me
around 16$ for a 75ml, so I didn't think twice before grabbing a bottle.
The fragrance itself is fresh, green and clean. In the
opening it has the same vibe Abercrombie’s Fierce. The pineapple and lemon have
a very energetic feeling and stay during the whole life of the fragrance. This
means that Curve is very linear which a bad thing isn’t because the opening is
the best part of this fragrance.
Is this a masterpiece? No!
Is this something that true collectors that are
looking for something unique? Hello no!
Doe this smell bring back memories and make you feel
fresh and clean during a hot summer day? Yes!
For the price you can't go wrong with this one and
that's what counts for most people that aren't into fragrances as much.
