==Britney Spears Curious==

the only reason I purchased this perfume was because it was on a half price special offer and a bottle would only cost £12 which as I was running low on perfume and money seemed like a good one to try out. I didn't even smell it at the perfume counter in Boots, just thought I would try the smell out when I got home.

So for my £12 I got a 50 ml bottle which is housed in an outer black pink and blue cardboard box. I can't say that this outer packaging especially appealed to me and on taking out the blue bottle of curious inside I didn't think the design of this was particularly good either. The bottle was a very "curious" shape and it didn't look classic or classy at all.

I didn't get the squirter like it shows in the picture but there was the two little charms attached to the bottle just like in the picture. You can at least see through the glass of the bottle which allows you to see how much of the perfume that there is left. Which is always a good thing in my opinion.

The perfume itself is sprayed easily out of the bottle and you really only need two or three squirts as a good amount does come out with each spray. The smell itself is very floral and you can smell scents of magnolia vanilla giving it the sweet floral notes but there is also a muskiness to it which gives it the strength and depth. The smell is really rather womanly and generally smells light and sweet.

I didn't think I would like the fragrance as much as I do but in fact it really seems to suit me and smell pretty nice. I have had several compliments about my perfume at work and it has been this one I have been wearing.

The longevity of the perfume on my skin is not especially short nor is it long but I can still detect a whiff of it on my skin after a long day at work so that to me is a good sign. Of course it is not as strong as I would like it to be at the end of the day and reapplication is advised if off out again. However for me the lasting effects are pretty good.

On the whole I would definitely buy this perfume again. I think it is a real girly type of aroma which of course wouldn't be suitable for everyone but for me it gets top marks of 5 out of 5 stars and a high recommendation
