How long does Curve Wave last?

Most owners report a few hours at most. It is a cologne, so plan to reapply later in the day if you need it to carry into the evening.

How is it different from the original Curve?

Curve Wave is fresher and lighter, with an aquatic feel. The original Curve is sweeter and heavier, so Wave suits daytime and warm weather better.

Yes. Its modest projection keeps it close to the skin, which makes it a safe choice for work. You may want an extra spray before leaving.

It comes in a 4.2 fl oz bottle, which is large for a cologne and lasts a long time with regular use.

It is a safe pick for someone who likes fresh, clean scents. Skip it if he prefers strong, long-lasting or sweet fragrances.

Spring and summer daytime, casual outings and the office. It is not the best fit for cold-weather evenings or formal events.
