Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Curious
This is a clean, fresh white floral that's either a pleasant, inoffensive everyday spritz or an alcohol-laden air freshener, depending on who you ask. It's a proper throw-on and go, though probably better suited for younger wearers.

Our Verdict - Forever
This is a seriously divisive white floral from Mariah Carey. You'll either adore its sparkling fresh apple and creamy tuberose with impressive staying power, or you'll find it sharp, sour, and a one-way ticket to Headache City. Blind buy with extreme caution.

Season and Occasion Fit

Curious

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, inoffensive nature makes it suitable for casual wear and even the office, as many reviews suggest. However, the light projection and body mist format mean it's less ideal for formal settings or a date where more impact is desired.

Forever

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate to strong performance and fresh, yet elegant profile make it versatile for most non-active settings. While sometimes described as 'clean,' the potent white florals can be too much for formal or sport activities, with some finding it headache-inducing.
