Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Curve
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 - Modest Une
This one's a proper troublemaker. Afnan's Modest Une is either a beast-mode, spot-on Sauvage dupe that lasts forever, or a barely-there skin scent that smells of dodgy cardboard. You'll either love it or furiously return it.

Occasions

Best For:

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Sport
Also Works:

Its fresh, spicy accords and common association with a popular 'blue' fragrance make it perfect for casual wear and dates. While many report strong performance, some find it too potent for the office or formal events, causing headaches or being 'choking' if oversprayed.
