Axe and Curve colognes, c. 2020, Illinois State Museum Society purchases
I started wearing Axe around 11 years old and wore it until I was 14. A lot of middle school kids were wearing it. The smell became so repulsive, I just had to change. After seeing an older brother use Curve, I switched to that. Curve just smelled sweeter and less abrasive.
