About This Perfume

Think tropical berries, soft white florals, musky sandalwood: that is Liz Claiborne Curve Wave. It opens with carambola (star fruit), honeysuckle and raspberry, moves into lily, frangipani and passion flower and settles on musk, sandalwood and amber. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.

This cologne is best in spring and summer and is a daytime scent. A good pick for casual days, the office and date nights. Released in 2005.

Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.

Is it right for you?

  • Best for: anyone after something floral and romantic for casual days.
  • Sample first if: floral is new territory for you.
  • Skip if: you dislike fruity fragrances.

Around $15.

Liz Claiborne

Liz Claiborne is an American mainstream house whose perfume line runs mostly masculine (14 of 24 live pieces) and skews Woody (6) and Fresh (5), the accessible cedar-lavender-fresh template that dominated US drugstore and department-store fragrance from the 1980s into the 2000s. Prices are remarkably approachable: $15.11-$85 (average $32). Standout live pieces: Curve Connect for Women ($19.47,.12, woody sweet tangerine on warm vanilla cinnamon), Spark for Men ($49.80,.07, warm spiced rum, honeyed woods, powdery comfort), Spark ($61.24,.98, cedar-dusted rose petals over caramel warmth), Claiborne Sport ($18.66,.98, cool herbal lavender, green spice, cedar musk) and Mambo for Men ($21.95,.97, cool lavender cologne, cedar woods with citrus). Liz Claiborne is the natural pick for shoppers who want a familiar American designer scent under $30.
