The women love it
By JHW
I've generally been a one-cologne guy -- I had settled into using Acqua di Gio for a number of years, after having used Nautica for a number of years as well. When she got pregnant several months ago, my wife confessed to me that she really didn't like Acqua di Gio (this after two years! Pregnancy does heighten sensitivity to smell, though).
I still had some Nautica around, plus the original and no-longer-made Zegna scent from Spain, so I used those for a while. I then bought the newest Zegna cologne, "Z", after my wife smelled it and found it unobjectionable.
Well, no sooner had I bought the Z then my wife found a scratch and sniff of Curve in some magazine and said that I really should be using that. The next day we happened to be at K-Mart -- K-MART!!! -- for some household odds and ends, and my wife came across a display of Curve. She insisted on buying it for me.
Ever since then, my wife goes nuts when I use it. I don't use it during the week, really -- I'm a somewhat older guy, and it has a sweetish overtone to it that's not very serious -- but whenever I do, my wife always tells me how absolutely wonderful I smell, indeed, how DELICIOUS I smell. Today was casual Friday at work, so I figured, okay. I leave for work very early, before my wife is awake. Sure enough, she calls me at work this morning -- "you used Curve today, didn't you? I can tell because the bathroom smells wonderful!"
Every woman I know who has commented on it loves it on guys. So it's less expensive and available at K-Mart. And yes it is a little bit sweeter than most colognes I'm personally used to. But it does have a pleasant smell, and if the women love it, well . . . .

This is FAKE and sold directly by AMAZON
By fusionx6
I purchased Curve when i saw that Amazon had the 6.8 ounce for $24 and thought it was an excellent deal. I checked the ratings to make sure it was an original and there were only a couple complaints so I went ahead and purchased it. I just received it 2 days ago, but didn't try it until today.
To my surprise, i found out that this is not an original Curve for men. I have a 4.2 ounce bottle that I've been using for several years now and this 6.8 ounce is a diluted version of that. Like some of the others have mentioned, the smell only lasts a fraction of the original. At first i thought it was just me so i asked my parents, both of whom have bought or used Curve. They both agreed there was something wrong with it, especially with the strength of the smell(i had not told them it was fake at this point). As a result we came to unanimous conclusion. This Curve for men 6.8 ounce bought directly from Amazon is FAKE.
I'm very disappointed especially since I've been their customer for over 4 years now. This is the first time I've bought perfume from Amazon and it will be the last. I also bought a perfume for Amazon for my mom which i need to check now. I will contact them and see what excuse they have for selling FAKE perfumes.

Oh that Curve!
By Robert J. Rudock
Well I got my bottle of Curve today along with another couple of colognes on the "So you'd like to...start wearing cologne" guide on amazon that I have been purchasing by. With all my newfound knowledge about cologne history, perspective, and opinions, I used these colognes to give an informative speech this evening in my public speaking course, complete with all the bottles present. I sprayed CURVE onto myself when it arrived, and now I am comparing all of the new scents to my favorites so far, HUGO and CANDIES. My impression was that it was more serious than Hugo, had a sweetish overtone combined with musk, and then there was sort of a greenish bitter forest type scent to it that I wasn't crazy about. I think I may have been dissappointed at first, but that soon changed. After about fifteen minutes the smell got to be really good and the elements I hadn't liked were gone or had matured into subtle forms that went well together.
After the speech I allowed the class to sample all of the colognes, and Curve was commented on the most, followed by Drakkar, then Hugo. All of the women liked it and seemed to have great associations with it, and for that I have to ensure that it gets the full 5 stars. I continue to wear it now later this same evening and it has quite grown on me.
If you only bought Curve as your main cologne, you'd be quite alright. Subtle enough for casual wear and bright enough for clubbing. Overall good mix.
