Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Curve Eau de Parfum
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.

Our Verdict - Guess Effect Eau de Toilette
A pleasant, if unexciting, everyday scent that's a bit of a chameleon - some say it’s generic, others find it a clean, soft crowd-pleaser. The biggest complaint is its woeful longevity, so be prepared to re-apply if you want it to actually, you know, last.
