Curve Appeal for Men

Really enjoyable watermelon dominated scent with a nice touch of aromatics and fresh spices the first twenty minutes of wear, but quickly devolves into a rather bland oceanic musk and suede scent around the 30 minute mark that is common-place and uninspiring. Just can't get any performance with this, even after 5-6 liberal sprays in the summer months. This stuff vanishes on my skin in 2-3 hours and projection is extremely soft and gentle after the first ten minutes of application. Sure, if you like watermelon you will enjoy the top notes, the blending is nice and organic but it's gone quickly and despite great packaging and a smart marketing campaign, ultimately Curve Appeal doesn't stack up performance wise (longevity and projection) with its older stablemates in the Curve line. Very modern but a very weak performer.

I've purchased this fragrance a few times in the past, and I don't remember smelling much watermelon so I was surprised to see that that was voted the most prominent note. I remember the sea water being the strongest note alongside the pear and bergamot. Anyways, to me this fragrance is very fresh. It's youthful, it's cool and reminds me of being at the beach in LA. It's definitely not very complex or serious, just light and fresh. I think it would make for a great starter fragrance, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a light aquatic summer scent for a relatively cheap price. I'd also like to add that this pairs well with Perry Ellis 360 degrees for men. The youthful elements of this fragrance help balance out the more mature elements of 360.

This is one of the most underrated men's fragrances of all time. It has gotten me countless complements from girls in their 20's as well as guys. It's a fresh and fruity scent with watermelon and frozen pear sitting at the top. Despite what most comments say, this really does not smell like other fragrances out there. Definitely not CK Euphoria, Cool Water or even remotely like Acqua Di Gio. This is has an unmistakable uniqueness that will make you feel fresh, energized and optimistic for the future. A perfect summer scent for college students and young men.

I love this fragrance and am so sad it's hard to find and discontinued many compare it similar to Keneth Kole reaction but i think this one is a lot sweeter and lasts a lot longer. It has a beautiful sweet watermelon opening with seawater then drys down to a musky woodsy smell its sents closer to the skin. If you had to choose between the two this is the one to get because of its awesome sweet youthful sent. Note the bottle atomizer kinda sucks very cheap not that great dispersal pattern.

Liz Claiborne Curve Appeal for Men is yet another scent I got through a swap. I find that it is very much a clone, but it isn't a singular clone. It has elements of several colognes. I notice some Acqua di Gio and its clones (in particular Michael Jordan 23) along with Kenneth Cole Reaction, Kenneth Cole Reaction T-Shirt and Tommy Bahamas for men (2013). It is basically if you took the Reaction and a less 212 VIP aspect Reaction T-Shirt, but if you add some more of the aquaticness of Acqua di Gio. Curve Appeal is very much aquatic especially in the open. It has a strong aquatic note and an equally strong watermelon note which often does give an aquatic feel even without a sea note or water note. There is a strong pear note along with some citruses. This goes into a mid with a pretty strong lavender note, some cardamon and some pepperwood. The base is very much cedar and musk heavy with a slight ambery sweetness. Curve Appeal isn't a club banger nor is it needed to be. Curve Appeal is a perfect dumb reach for casual and work settings during spring and summer days. It is not a real fragrance to wear at night though as it is a little too light. Curve Appeal as mentioned already is too light with it being a soft to slightly moderate with about five hours of projection. Overall I do like Curve Appeal and it is the second best of the Curve line to me but is it something I need to get a bottle of, no. As mentioned, it is a clone and one that I have quite a few of myself. Overall, I rate Curve Appeal a 6.7 out of 10. The longevity and use issues, are a little bit too much IMHO.
