Liz Claiborne Curve Black is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Curve Black opens with Bergamot, Violet Leaf, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Oakmoss, Lavender, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Leather, Sandalwood, Teak, and Tonka Bean. Liz Claiborne's Curve Black carries a Statement verdict, a leather-led wear.

A divisive one, this. Curve Black is either a surprisingly decent, mature cheapie for the office, or a dull, short-lived disappointment. Those violet leaf and leather notes are truly love-or-hate, so try before you buy.

Its moderate projection and generally inoffensive aromatic-woody profile make it suitable for office and casual wear, as noted by several reviewers. However, poor longevity for many users means it might not hold up for longer formal events or lively dates without reapplication, and it's too subdued for a club.

About

Opens with an airy violet leaf and zesty bergamot, quickly spiced up by a hint of nutmeg. The heart settles into a herbal aromatic blend of lavender, clary sage, and a touch of earthy oakmoss. The dry down is decidedly masculine, dominated by a prominent leather accord, smoothed out by creamy sandalwood and teak wood, with a whisper of comforting tonka bean.
