Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Curve EDP
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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Ani X Extrait
A divisive yet much-loved take on the original Ani, Ani X is a confident, fresh, and citrusy vanilla that many find both sophisticated and versatile. While some reviewers found it unoriginal or too sweet, many loved its unique gourmand-level freshness and impressive performance.
