Which Should You Buy?
Curve is a divisive scent, though often remembered fondly. Many find it now smells synthetic and weak, but its nostalgic pull is undeniable and it retains a certain old-school charm for those who appreciate a classic masculine aroma. Some still find it a compliment-getter, proving that sometimes, history speaks loudest.
This YSL Y dupe is a bit of a mixed bag. Many claim it's a dead ringer, especially after maceration, while others find it a synthetic mess with dire performance. It's a cheap thrill for YSL Y fans, but don't expect miracles.
