A beautifully soft musky tea scent with some ginger and lemon. I find the ginger to be very soft in this, not astringent. I often step back when I see ginger is in a composition because it can be too much on my skin, which seems to amplify it, but I can get away with a handful of fragrances with ginger in it. This is one of them. It’s almost like a ginger-flavored candy it’s so soft.
I am the same person as ThisIsOurBlanket (couldn’t find a way to delete that account). I still stand by the idea that this smells like a black/green-tea blend, almost like Lipton black tea, with some light milk, sugar, and lemon. There is that musky Curve vibe that is present in this, which makes it suitable for working out or something active.
This also lasts a whole day on me, which is surprising given that it’s a tea scent and it’s very cheap!

I like to keep this somewhere cool in the warm months. I wasn’t sure about the ginger and tea note combo but it really works here. A lovely warm, dry, herbally freshness. There is nothing harsh or sharp here.
I guess I could liken it to the smell of recently dried flowers and herbs.
A nice everyday or casual fragrance that would be hard to offend anyone. I’d say it was unisex.
For an edt the longevity and sillage are pretty good. A bargain price to.

The VERY BEST one in the Claiborne Curve series. Icy fruit with a dash of class. LOVE this one. Would make a great signature scent.

I blind bought this off of eBay for $7 for 1.7 oz, so figured I couldn’t go wrong even if I wasn’t really a fan. I was worried about the ginger smell being too strong, but it’s not overpowering AT ALL. In fact, the tea smell is the strongest on me and it’s actually so different from anything I’ve smelled. It smells like a black and green tea blend…not very strong green or black, but somewhere in the middle (and not really oolong either). I have to agree with the reviewer who said that it reminds them of Lipton tea with lemon. I don’t get as much lemon as I get tea, cedar, and freesia, but still detectable (just as detectable as the ginger, which seems to fall into the background after a handful of minutes). I have to disagree with someone who said this smelled like a household cleaner. I’d probably be tempted to spray myself with said household cleaner if it smelled like this! Works very well with my chemistry. I actually LOVE this.

Male review: Initial intense rose,ginger,minty eucalyptus lemony explosion that `stings` the senses and open the airways that eventually leads into a strong flowery powder drydown. It is a very common fragrance/smell but it keeps that fresh slight minty-tea top note that makes it unique.

I love this one. It’s one of my oldest perfumes. I think I got this when I was somewhere around 14…10 years later I still like the occasional spritz of this stuff. It’s got both fresh and warm components. The drydown is so nice…so woody and clean and cheery. I can wear it any time of year without feeling overpowered. I will definitely repurchase this again when I run out, and it’s so inexpensive that there’s no excuse not to 🙂

A fresh, sweet tea with some spice, light fruit notes and watery florals. Very clean and refreshing, not a smoky tea but an iced tea. Has some of that 90s musk in the dry down. Lasts pretty well, good for work or casual wear during the day time in hot weather. Not too strong or cloying so its especially good for the heat. The ginger isn’t too masculine but like ginger ale, sort of sparkling in the top notes.
Stason4ik – :
Starts spicy, almost masculine because of the ginger, then turns into household cleanser as the lemon comes through. A little too crisp and clean for my taste. Reminds me of the generic preppy scents of the 90s: unisex, outdoorsy, and inoffensive.

Found a mini of this for $4.99 at TJ Maxx. I’m very neutral on this scent. It’s a fresh blast of spice, which is pleasant and certainly not offensive in any way, but I just can’t get excited about it. I’m wearing it today on an overcast, cool summer day and have given myself about 6 sprays. For me, after two hours, it’s quite close to the skin. I catch subtle whiffs of it now and again, and while nice, it’s just kind of “there.” I will certainly use up the bottle but probably won’t purchase again.
That said, for this price, I would certainly try more Crush varieties. You just never know when a scent is going to hit you just right and make your day!
EDIT: A couple of weeks later:
Curve Chill, I owe you an apology. You’re such a sweet little unassuming thing, and I should’ve given you more of a chance. My mini is almost used up. I am now excited by you and will purchase this again. You don’t shout from the rooftops but wow, are you cozy, spicy and fresh! My daughter came down the steps wearing this the other day and I couldn’t believe the lovely sillage that followed her. Now I need to hunt down the other Curve varieties. This one was an inexpensive hidden treasure. My lesson is: give a scent more than one chance to make an impression!

Smells like candied ginger to me. Curve Chill is more spicy woody than it is fruity floral. Lasting power and projection is good. Curve Chill is the perfect fragrance for cool and casual days.

The best curve scent for summer! I mostly smell the ginger, sweet pea, citrus and peony even after hours of wear not to musky either, just perfect:)
придурок – :
This is a very fresh and clean fragrance. It does smell like CK1 a little bit, it really is a nice perfume. I love the Curve line, very modern perfumes from Liz Claiborne
reter12 – :
Kinda like CKOne with green tea added. Simple, light, refreshing and sweet, great for summer. Not terribly long-lasting or original, but pleasant. It’s a Curve perfume, so it’s good for the price.
Later note: to be a bit more specific, comes across to me like a citrus-aquatic-green floral, with a bit of green tea. A bit of powder from cedar. The vetiver at the base is strong enough to pick out, slightly bitter in this case, but the bitterness faint enough to make this quite wearable. My nose does not get any ginger, nor could I tell you what the green floral notes are, only that they are there and are sweet and pretty. It’s a nice green tea frag, I recommend.

CURVE CHILL IS A SWEET SMELL THAT I LOVE SO MUCH I THINK I MIGHT USE OTHER PERFS BUT I WILL STILL STICK TO CHILL I LOVE IT….

After disliking Curve Crush so much, I was hesitant to try another Curve perfume, but after reading the reviews here, I decided to give this one a try. I’m so glad I did.
I agree with everything that mwater1 said. The citrus and green tea top notes are bright and refreshing, and it certainly does turn into a cheerful, fun floral with a very clean dry down. This certainly is great for daytime wear, or for anytime you need a mood-brightener.

I got this as a gift from my sister it is a nice perfume best suited for the night-time for me. Sometimes it smells a bit offensive to me but I like it nonetheless. It is also really long-lasting and I have gotten compliments about it 🙂
ndpower – :
For me, the opening is lively—a nice balance between the green tea and ginger, both of which I adore. What I don’t smell is the citrus—which is fine because it doesn’t work with my chemistry anyway (no bug spray here as far as I can tell).
The heart and base are a bit duller—the notes are so blended that I can’t much distinguish the individual scents. I’d love to see a bit more peony and then more cedar (or maybe musk).
Overall, though, each stage is lovely and the transition from one to the next is smooth—perhaps too smooth for some. And on me each stage has a distinct personality— not especially interesting to more refined noses, but harmonious and well done for an inexpensive fragrance.
Comparing this to another Curve scent I also like, Soul, this one doesn’t have the boring banality of the one scent body sprays and lotions that I wore for years!

I rather like Curve Chill. I like the tea and citrus beginning of it, reminds me of Lipton Tea with Lemon. The scent lingers and turns into a fun and fruity floral. The fragrance is perfectly suited for a casual outing.
Tatulka – :
Smells alot like CK One. It probably would have been better if the green tea was taken out. I didn’t really care for it so I gave it to my Mom.
mitser – :
Goes on bright, fresh and foody, but a there’s a touch of bug-spray in the middle notes. Overall, I get ginger, citrus and green tea with sweet pea underneath, so it’s very bright and young, but it seems somehow very uncomplicated and linear for all that it has many notes. Just not mysterious enough for me, maybe. Or just too young-summer. Fall is a better season for me.
KRUTIK – :
I got several compliments while wearing, mostly they said that it was very clean smelling, and that it wasn’t to stong
