Product Review: Curve Wave for Men by Liz Claiborne

Curve Wave for men first emerged on the retail market in 2005 by Liz Claiborne. Since then Curve Wave has found its way into over 3000 retailers in the United States. Besides marketing Curve Wave toilette spray for men the Liz Claiborne Inc. also distributes several clothing lines for both men and women. Before the time of Curve Wave for men the designer Liz Claiborne founded her company in 1976 and went public with the venture in 1981. Curve Wave is not the only fragrance that Liz Claiborne Inc. promotes. There are other several scents such as Curve, Curve Crush, and many others.

The theme of Curve Wave by Liz Claiborne is aquatic. The bottle of Curve Wave is a frosted aqua color with blue wavy lines surrounding the title of the scent which appears in bold white cursive writing. A larger bottle of Curve Wave is packaged in a metal container which resembles the bottle's theme. The most common sizes of Curve Wave for men toilette spray are .05 oz., .18 oz., and 4.2 oz. Curve Wave by Liz Claiborne also offers gift sets. Gift Sets of Curve Wave usually include a cologne spray (3.4 oz.) along with body washes, skin soothers, and lotions that are perfect for layering the scent.

Curve Wave sticks with its aquatic theme by using a blend of citrus notes, mint blue, and juniper to give it a coolness or an ocean like smell. The scent itself is not that overpowering and is semi-lightweight. Curve Wave by Liz Claiborne does not last as long as the other toilette sprays that are on the shelves at stores. It smells semi strong when first applied but wears off rather quickly. After a few hours the fragrance has only a slight linger. Any age group of men will find Curve Wave alluring. The package and bottle are very appealing and the scent is appropriate for day or night use. Whether this toilette spray is used in an office setting or out with friends at a local club it is a scent that is versatile

Prices will vary for Curve Wave in retail stores. Upper priced stores such as Dillards will price the more popular bottle that is 4.2 oz. between $40.00 and $50.00. Curve Wave 4.2 oz. can also be found in Wal-Mart and other mass merchandise retailers for a much lower cost such as around $30.00. Gift sets of for the scent will also vary depending on where customers purchase. Gift sets will run between $20.00 and $50.00.

From a woman's point a view I find Curve Wave very appealing. The scent is very attractive and not overbearing. It's definitely not a scent that will repulse women. I would definitely recommend the scent although the scent is not as lasting as one may hope. However, the pros of Curve Wave outweigh the cons with a decent price and great aroma. I would recommend first buying the smallest spray available and trying it out before committing to the larger available size. The best deals for Curve Wave can also be found on Ebay.
