Curious by Britney Spears

Top fragrance with fruity and floral notes; the pear is noticeable. I wear it daily for work—it’s fresh and clean. Lasts a long time on clothes and skin if I use lotion and oil; I’ve gotten up to 8 hours, and people always compliment me.

I fell in love at first sniff and already have eight or nine bottles. Clean, fresh, flirty, playful, and soft. It’s my favorite Britney Spears scent; I never get tired of it and it brings back good memories. For me, it’s a 10.

It was one of my perfumes from the 2000s and I have fond memories of it. If I see a deal, I’ll buy it again.

I love the stately scents of Elizabeth Arden and Carolina Herrera; I absolutely adore them. At first, Curious felt stately, but the opening was an overwhelming floral blast that made me step back. Someone else loved it and I saw their face light up with affection. It’s the classic ‘love it or hate it’ type; I didn’t hate it, I just didn’t like it.

Super 90s and 2000s vibe. At first, the florals and synthetic notes stand out, but once it dries down, it’s super aquatic, fresh, and beautifully sweet. You can definitely smell the pear. My mom gifted me the 30ml version, then found the 100ml, so I didn’t miss out. It’s a total banger with all that 2000s feeling; if you’re looking for this, you can’t go wrong. Moderate longevity, perfect for daily wear, but not for girls under 20. I tried it on my 16-year-old cousin, and it hit her way too stately with strong florals; neither she nor I liked it. I recommend it for ages 23 and up. It reminded me of Heiress by Paris Hilton, though comparing them now, I don’t feel the same way—the dry-down is similar. Classic, fresh, and the bottle is gorgeous. 100/100.

I rarely buy perfumes multiple times forever, but this is one of them. It was one of the first I could afford to buy for myself because it’s budget-friendly, and it turned out to be a gem. I love it; it’s a safe option: not intrusive or loud, but noticeable. It’s floral and clean, BBB 💯.

I had this for 3 years as a gift from my aunt when I was a teenager. It’s a lovely scent of tender little flowers, clean and fresh. My dad used to say it smelled like funeral flowers and I never received compliments. Notes: Magnolia and Jasmine. Longevity: 3 hours on skin, 5 hours on clothes. Sillage: low, very intimate. I think there are better florals out there, but it’s good for girls and teenagers. It’s weak in performance; for the price, you could find something better like Armaf Momento Fleur or Elizabeth Taylor Diamonds and Saphires, which are in the same line but have better performance.

Marked an era in my high school days; I’ve always loved it and it lasted long on me. Back then, I felt it was very elegant for night occasions, which is why today, at 30, I see it more as a daytime scent. I recommend it if you like the scent of neroli, as that’s the note I perceive the most.

Hi, I don’t like it and it doesn’t last.

For some strange reason, I think it’s older than it actually is (2004); it’s a super classic and delicate fragrance. I adore its notes; I see it as a ladylike perfume, but that gives it a certain vibe and makes me enjoy wearing it as a young person, reminding me of the typical Avon perfumes my grandmothers used in the 2000s. I love everything it conveys; it makes you smell rich and clean. It’s one of Britney Spears’ best and I’m angry that it’s so undervalued by Fantasy.

It’s a fragrance that puts me in a good mood, feminine, aquatic, cheerful, and clean. The neroli adds sweetness, making the other flowers seem to float on water. It’s quite fresh; I recommend it for hot days. The trail is good for the first hour, then fades, leaving a skin scent for the next 4 hours.

Smells like a freshly taken bath. A very youthful, light, fresh, and clean aroma. Special for very hot days; it doesn’t overwhelm at all. I like wearing it after a shower on those hot afternoons or evenings to refresh myself before bed. The trail and longevity are very soft.

The best perfume in history, simply my favorite by Britney Spears. The bottle is gorgeous with that aquamarine color and crystal accents. In my opinion, the notes are quite aquatic and white floral; you can feel that water pear note at the start, and the flowers blend to create very sweet and soft notes. The bottle color does the perfume justice; it’s definitely nostalgic and delicious.

When I was 13, I started wearing perfumes. I had many but loved very few. Lolita Lempicka, Cacharel Amor, and this one… marked an era. Let me tell you how I fell in love and how this perfume made people fall in love with me. The funny thing is, it was winter. It arrived in an order to try new fragrances, right after I hated a Moschino one, and I was hoping something better would come. The day arrived, I put it on, and went to the store in front of the factory where I spent my time helping sell at an international roadside stop. I was sitting there and couldn’t stop admiring that delicious scent and how beautiful and special I felt. Returning to that day, a man asked for something behind the counter. I passed by him, and in a desperate, slightly sinister way, he grabbed my knit sweater and pulled me toward him. I saw in his eyes that he wasn’t looking at me but at nothing, trying to decipher that scent. He let go immediately (he realized he went too far), but it seemed remarkable how, staring at nothing, he could only say forcefully: ‘What perfume are you wearing? Tell me, please, I’m going to buy it for my girlfriend.’ The girls with me started laughing; everyone said it smelled great and pointed out the name. The man thanked me and left super happy. I noticed how the perfume got etched into his memory and mine. Whenever I went out, people asked about it. At least on my skin, it smelled wonderfully, so I remember it. Today, I ordered my new bottle after 14 years… I’m happy, as if I were reuniting with something special.

I love this perfume. On my skin, what stands out most are the neroli and jasmine, but natural and freshly cut. They feel fresh and clean. What a pleasant aroma… I wish I had discovered it sooner.
