Inoffensive and Generally Pleasant
Curve goes on with a bergamot, faint citrus aroma and dries down to a lightly aromatic cologne smell, like CK Euphoria, but longer lived. It does survive the eight-hour test, so kudos on that. I can see it as an office scent or as something you'd wear out -- it is versatile. However, what it has in general appeal it lacks in oomph. No-one will hate this on you, but you won't be enthralled by it. A better fragrance in terms of impact, personality, and duration in the same style is Ed Hardy's Love and Luck.

Youthful, Fresh, and a Compliment Magnet
I find it really difficult to lose with Curve for Men. This is a happy and fresh green, aromatic fragrance that can be had for on the cheap. It starts off with a fresh clean blast of pineapple on my skin, and dries down to a nice woody musk. I think most people in the USA have used, or at least smelled this one, so I'm not going to go into a great deal of detail. Let's just suffice it to say it smells darned good in its own cheap and cheerful way.

Longevity is good at 6 hours or so (excellent for cologne), and I think it is truly rare for anyone to be offended by this fragrance. It is one of the compliment magnets in my collection. It is also light enough for a daily wear at the office and is never cloying.

This can be had for very reasonable prices both online and in discount stores now. If you need a good budget fragrance, it's a great choice.

My first
My parents and grandma collectively got this giftset for me when I was like 12 (early 00s).
This was THE PREMIERE Hoochie Daddy fragrance! I've never gotten more compliments on a fragrance than this one. Throughout my adolesence into manhood this was my shit. I would have all the hoochies my age N older tryna sniff me and be all up in my bubble. Even when it got played out, and left behind for other newer scents, If I put this on for nostalgia trip, I still get compliments.
Still to this day it is that good as a scent, but damn the reformulations ruined the performance (4-5 hrs top). I used to get the whole day (8+ hrs) outta this one easy.

It's the reason you know about Creed...
If you're 25-30 or a tad older, this was your deodorant, body spray, lotion and aftershave...and I don't mean that jokingly, LC still sells the tin that contains the cologne and everything mentioned, which at first feels bargain bin/horrible christmas gift from grandma..

Till you put it on, and realize that you never knew you wanted to smell like Bergamot and pineapple. Before Orion, before Accento, and certainly before Creed, we had the poor man's pineapple scent, but instead of being shoved to the shelves alongside the AXE brand, men clung onto this one heavily.

Not my most complimented in one month, definitely the most complimented of all time. It does what Creed wanted to do, its sweeter, softer, but still stark enough for anyone in the room to notice you. This was the Dior Sauvage of its time, everyone had it, except while people can get tired of pink pepper, no one gets tired of the playful notes of pineapple.

Sure it doesn't last that long, and the bottle is as basic b*itch as you can get, but that scent + price will always keep this as the GOAT and in the HoF.

Love it
Love this scent. Unique but not weird. Pleasant, fresh, manly but not aggressively so. Easy going but intoxicating.

I haven't smelled or used in quite a while - I used it in high school. And I think many of us did. In the case that you think it smells too high-schooly (I wouldn't say it necessarily is, though) Mambo by LC smells almost identical.

Very popular but dated mainstream citrusy, woody, piney scent (#1 on Amazon). Unfortunately diluted so bad not worth it no matter # sprays!
