Britney Spears Curious (100ml, Eau De Parfum Spray)

Product Information

SEASONS: Spring or summer - The fruitiness of the scent makes it seem like it should be worn during the warmer seasons. She wears Dior Pure Poison normally but she takes a bottle of this with her on vacations because it’s not as valuable to travel with and it has that slight aquatic vibe. This is timeless and pretty and performs decently well, I think many people from a vide variety of scent profiles can like / respect this perfume. This is a breathy, softly indolic white floral with airy, white musks in the background, allegedly vanilla-like but I'm not sure I detect it.

For example, some top note citrus scents smell stronger immediately upon application, while a lavender middle note may be sensed after some time from application as the top note evaporates. My mom gifted it to me when I was in middle school, which must have been around the time it first came onto the market. These issues may have intensified a bit because my bottle is old, but I don't believe the scent has changed too much over time.This perfume is aimed at twentysomethings with the attitude that pushes boundaries and revels in adventure. Upon first spray it does smell VERY sharp in a way which makes my nose itch but after a few minutes that itch goes away but on my skin it takes an hour or so for it to smell nice as within the first hour I think it smells cheap and like a cleaning product, after a few hours it does remind me slightly of a cheap version of jadore as another reviewer said when the smell softens down. If you didnt smell them at the same time or wasnt familuar with both you'd easily mistake one for the other.

Upon receiving a gift set containing a 30ml bottle, I treasured it and used it sparingly - applying just one spray at a time to my school jumper. Sadly the bottle is a shadow of its former self, with a cheap, tacky blue plastic atomizer, and no crystal heart charms adorning the neck. I don't know if it's been reformulated, or because I'm older, or due to the different city/climate I'm in - but this is MUCH better than it used to be. I know this has been around forever but I wasn’t really keen on trying celebrity perfumes before I started my perfume journey. This rare feminine mixture of lotus blossom, star jasmine and pink cyclamen has been categorised as both 'Thrilling and Satisfying'.I never had this perfume growing up (or any of Britney's fragrances) and so I feel that now that I have it as an adult I can admire the scent a lot more than I would've as a juvenile. it also doesn’t have the strongest sillage, but i don’t mind as i mostly wear it on hot days as I said earlier. After 5 hours- the vanilla, musk and woods have really taken over now, the fragrance has changed quite a bit in my opinion, it’s like “your skin but better”, it’s extremely soft, sillage has massively decreased since though, lingers hardly more than the skin. I’m not really one to gravitate toward clean and aquatic scents but the sweetness present in this perfume really draws me in.

I always decant when I wear it to work, and get about three hours of wear time before I need to touch up. I've had this perfume since I was a teenager in the mid 2000's, it was one of my very first perfumes, if memory serves.I find myself diving deeper into the world of niche perfumes because there just aren’t many beautiful unique long lasting perfumes being created in the main stream anymore and I hate wasting money like anyone else.

The first spray for me was just pure alcohol, which quickly evolved into a heady, musky jasmine and lingered all day. In my later 20s I gravitated away from celebrity frags and now almost exclusively use designer perfumes (Guerlain, Chanel, Dior, etc). I am 28 now, and while this perfume still smells sexy to me, it's more like a teenage/young adult type of sexy to me now.I LOVE LOVE LOVE white musk and the white musk and floral in this perfume marries together perfectly. However, shortly after I reluctantly put it on this morning, the sweetness and freshness started to come through. The fragrance felt very fresh, very girly, inoffensive and playful, but it definitely made a statement.
