Curve Kicks for Men

I get a nice Coca-Cola vibe from this one, it didn't reinvent the wheel but it's pleasant. 8 hours of longevity with decent arm's length projection. This is my favorite of the Curve line thus far. It proves that even a cheap eau de cologne can be of good quality. A hidden gem for fresh spicy lovers.

A solid not overly sweet frag. Many notes listed are undetectable. I get more amber and citrus than anything. Sillage is ok but this one needs to be oversprayed to get the full effect.

Quite fruity and safe for the office. Nothing out of this world, but an OK fragrance.

This ties with Lanvin's Oxygene for the title of worst fragrance I've ever owned. I blind bought because I tried a few other Curve flankers and like them all. That said, in my opinion, while a bit linear, WAVE is my favorite of the flankers. This one starts with a crazy strong blast of a chemical, cloying, powdery sweetness. Soon after, I get notes of caraway, a disgusting dirty musk, and, though it's not listed, a strong, synthetic, powdery Iris note. There's also some unidentifiable note that gives it a maddeningly lingering, choking sweetness. I get none of the other notes at all. The projection is enormous, and it lasts WAY to long for comfort. Linear, wretch-inducing, and truly awful. Sorry, but not much to like here.

I remember owning this for about 10 years while in High school and after, i litterally ended up throwing it away with over 70% juice left (yes i used about 30ml in 10+ years). Easily the worst scent ive ever owned or smelled. I remember at the end of my wearings feeling embarrassed of wearing it.
