The Smell Of Christmas Eve

It was a freezing winter morning. I was standing at the tram stop and waiting to see a dear friend of mine. We were close to Christmas time, and we had to exchange gifts. I looked around, and the streets of Milan were full of flashing lights. People moved frantically between one shop and another to make their last purchases, and a thin fog pervaded the city, as is customary in the northern metropolis. The tram arrived, I run to meet my friend who immediately threw his arms around my neck and kissed me on the cheek. I notice that instead of walking away, he moved closer, plunged his face into my scarf, and whispered in my ear, “Wow, what a wonderful smell you have! Just the ones I like!”. “I’m glad you like it, it’s a gift I gave myself for Christmas.”  " IL (Eau de Toilette) | Lancetti " had just come out on the market, the autumn-winter season of the early 90s. At that time I was working to support my studies, and the perfume was only one, and it had to last for the entire s

Akin to A&F Fierce vibe, yet a deviation

Liz Claiborne Curve Sport

Right of the bat, it as the A&F Fierce vibe, however, it has a deviation from that but smells great on a budget. I was not aware of any Liz Claiborne cologne until I all of a sudden stumbled into Curve Sport. A few months ago, it was early February if I am not wrong, I had a dinner out with some foreign coworkers from Chicago, and I was sitting next to a guy who was smelling great. I unashamedly asked, “what is that you’re wearing, it smells wonderful”. He smiled and told me "That's Liz Claiborne Curve Sport, do you know it?". Of course, my answer was nope and he promptly offered to bring me a bottle the very next time he would have come to visit us. He kept his promise, seriously, and I got my 125ml bottle last week.

To tell you the truth, I was a bit disappointed when I sprayed it on my hand, not because it wasn't any good, but 'cause it was smelling different on me. I recalled a sort of deep, dark, spicy and aromatic accord, but on my skin, it has that fougére and green vibe akin to A&F Fierce, which I am so keen on. That being told, it opens slightly fruity and citrus, with notes of red apple peel, creamy bergamot, and kind of herbaceous rosemary that adds a woodsy, earthy tone, the blend is surely refreshing you.

Its heart includes a rich and enticing blend of spicy cardamom, clary sage, and relaxing lavender. This is the most aromatic and spicy phase of the cologne, with a dominant lavender toned down by minty green cardamom and green sage leaves.

The warmth of sandalwood combines with earthy vetiver and moss and a touch of tobacco to create a solid base. On my skin I get every now and then whiff of fresh tobacco leaves and creamy sandalwood, such a blend balances the invigorating scents of fruity apple and the earthy notes of rosemary and sage. Roothy vetiver and sea moss add a green scent to the deeper, aquatic, warm notes.

With moderate longevity and sillage, it’s light enough to be worn at the office, as I did today, at the gym, while still being perfect for a night out, as my buddy did that night. Yet, even an evening out to a movie or to hit the food court are perfect occasions for rocking this cologne. Clean undertones make it pleasing without being overpowering. Age, status, occupation won’t matter as Liz Claiborne Curve Sport is popular and positively reviewed by all men, plus it is versatile and should be used in any setting. Seasonally, it reminds me of spring, but really it’s a year-round cologne, again my buddy was wearing it in winter. I suppose since Curve Sport is cheap, it may be worth a shot if you don't own A&F Fierce or Montblanc Legend
