Curve Wave

Remarkably well-composed for a frag in this price range. It's crisp, clean, ozonic, maybe slightly aquatic, but all the notes blend together extremely well, so that none stands out much above the others. It's fresh green, it's citrus, it's aquatic, airy, and chypre-like all at once, but strangely none of those really dominate. Definitely for summer, and I strongly recommend day wear. I know others have reported weak performance, but this is a powerhouse on my skin. Sillage is not enormous, but above average for me, which is great, because it keeps it from becoming cloying. Longevity is unbelievable for this price range! And even if you had to apply a second, or even third spritz throughout the day...at around $17 for a 4.2oz bottle, who cares? Yes it's a bit linear, doesn't change too much from application to dry down, but it's one of the most pleasantly simple frags I've ever tried. I buy this one over and over and almost always have some on hand. I don't wear it much in winter, so if I run out in the fall, I'll usually wait until spring. Does that mean it's my signature scent? I'm not sure, but so far, it's one of only two fragrances I keep buying. The other is Jil Sander's Sander for Men, which I LOVE for fall and winter! If you love a cool, clean, crisp, invigorating, youthful scent, there's no better bang for the buck than Curve Wave. 9/10 (only because it's so linear. Otherwise would easily be a 10)

Man, this stuff is so good! Last time I bought it, I think I paid $17 and change. It’s now $13 on FragranceNet. This lasts remarkably well on me and it performs great for a freshie. Cool, crisp, clean, ozonic, and not too redundant of any other fresh summer fragrance that I’m aware of. It’s hard to be unique with freshies and this one pulls it off. It’s not terribly complex or sophisticated but it’s not supposed to be. It's a “gym” type scent, but it actually performs too well for the gym, which is a great problem to have. I don’t know about the note pyramid here. Anise? Mint? Where? Juniper and citrus, sure. I think there’s a white musk in the base as well which in unlisted here. I always want this in my collection as a hot weather dumb reach. Although linear, very approachable and unpretentious. Cool for the summer, baby! 😎 I love this stuff, no apologies! 10/10

When I started getting into fragrance this was early star fragrance when I purchased the original curve. I love this fragrance. Its very crisp invigorating and easy to wear. Remind me of going to the beach with a sunny breezy wind hitting my face. Longevity is not so good. I get about 4 hours of longevity. But the price is cheap that your not loosing a lot of money for what you paid for. Great for teenagers. And for those who want to smell good but don't want to spend all the money on expensive fragrances this one is good to start with. Its better than body spray such as axe. But don't buy it at retail store online is best to get this at cheaper price. great for the hot summer days.

I found a 4.2-ounce bottle of Curve Wave at Ross for $14.99 yesterday. I figured it would be weak and that the top notes would be its forte, so I sprayed it on my shirt today. It smells much different than it did on paper. I loved it on paper. On my shirt, it's still pretty nice and is very refreshing, but it definitely smells different than on paper. I'm surprised at how much it reminds me of Acqua di Gio! It does take a lot of extra sprays to make it as strong as Acqua di Gio, but since it's so much cheaper, I'll probably still come out ahead.

NOT A HOO HUMM SMELL...ITS A PLEASING MIXTURE...PLEASING AQUATIC WITH A VAPOUROUS EMINATION OF KOOL AID LIKE PROPORTIONS!!!....ALSO A FANTASTIC INGREDIENT TO COMBINE HENCE FOURTH WITH...JUST AVERAGE PERFORMANCE BUT THE SMELL DOES LINGER AND DOES CUT THROUGH A WELL BLENDED BREW OF YOUR FAVS...I AM PROUD TO OWN THIS..TRY IT!!
