There are many variations which use the Curve title, each of them are distinct and separate from the other. However, which of these men’s fragrances are the best of the bunch? What are the top Curve colognes that guys should try out?

What are the Best Smelling Curve Fragrances?

The Best

Curve by Liz Claiborne for Men – 4.2 Ounce Cologne Spray
Curve is a wildly popular fragrance for men because it smells so great, even after a few decades of being for sale. To me, this is still the best offering from the entire Curve line.

People always react positively to this one it seems, as Curve’s unique blend of notes, just draws people in. For an inexpensive cologne, this is a complement machine.

There are fruity elements such as pineapple, citrus, and juniper berries which play off a calm and clean lavender note. It is super fresh with a slight spice provided by pepper and ginger.

However, the outdoorsy elements really set this Liz Claiborne creation apart. It’s got a floral charm while being masculine and uses mahogany and cactus as a part of its base. An almost perfect choice for the younger guy.

The Next Best Thing

Curve Soul– A deep and darker men’s fragrance then the rest. This is a very unique cologne, with a strong bamboo note, sandalwood, some sweet/spice blend, and a touch of amber and leather.

I’m not sure they produce this one anymore. All of the bottles on the market, that I can find, seem really expensive. Obviously, none of these are worth paying an extraordinary amount for, as they are still just good cheapies.

Curve Soul is probably the second best smelling, in my opinion, and is worth a try if you can find a good price. 

Clean Option for Young Guys

Curve Crush– Curve Crush isn’t an amazing scent to me, but it’s a simple formula, with a clean formula with light fruits and woods. The main notes are mandarin orange, with some crisp apple, and fresh cedar wood. 

For a cheap fragrance, the longevity is actually pretty good. It’s not a super power scent with its sillage, though, you do get 6-7 hours of wear from it. I would say, that Crush, is one that is much suitable for younger guys.

The longer it gets on in the wear, it becomes more of a fresh woody scent, versus the citrus top. Curve Crush Review

Best Aquatic

Curve Appeal– Appeal is an aquatic scent from the Curve line, highlighted by watermelon and pear. Obviously, those notes give it that juicy/watery feeling, but it doesn’t have that salty marine-like aroma. 

The cologne is light with a bit of warm spice from cardamom, and then, a slight woody base. In the end, it is an aquatic watermelon with lavender, woods, and some spice. Yet, it’s more of a sweet scent. Curve Appeal Review

Honorable Mention

Curve Connect- Connect has one of the best aromas, out of the bunch, but its performance is kind of lacking. The others, usually last longer, which is great for this price point.

However, Connect does have an interesting and attractive smell. It’s actually kind of unique with a nice tea note, cinnamon, woods, saffron, and vanilla. 

It’s woody, with some spice, and a light touch of fruit. Not the absolute best of the Curve colognes, but deserves a mention.
