[edit] Information
Curious was released in September 2004, and was very successful internationally. It was the number one fragrance of 2004 in department stores, and in 2005, "Curious" was honored by the Fragrance Foundation as Best Women's Fragrance. She has sold over 570 million bottles of this fragrance world wide and it is her most successful perfume.
The fragrance is a white floral scent. Its notes are Louisiana magnolia, golden Anjou pear, lotus flower, tuberose, star jasmine, pink cyclamen, vanilla-infused musk, sandalwood and blonde woods.[1]
[edit] Advertisements
The TV advertisement for Curious was built on a stage set instead of in an actual hotel. Actor Eric Winter plays Spears' love interest in the TV commercial.
It starts off with Winter and Spears noticing each other before they go in their neighboring hotel rooms. Then, they are shown thinking about each other with Spears walking towards the door to Winter's hotel room. Then fantasies of Spears and the latter are shown mixed with things like a cartoon, a flower and a rodeo. It ends with Spears gazing at the camera.

As Curious was extremely successful worldwide, a limited edition was released in April 2006. The new fragrance, entitled In Control hit the stores in some countries, including the United States, Canada, Japan and Europe. The perfume's bottle is the same as the original Curious, except it is black rather than blue. In Control uses loquat fruit, midnight orchid, creme brulee, black vanilla bean, sugared sandalwood and musk. The fragrance is supposed to be "both sweet and sexy."[2] Although the fragrance was initially reported to be a limited edition for a limited time, the fragrance is still available for purchase.
On the name, Spears said: "As I get older, the names go with my age."[2] "It's more demanding, it's more sensual, it's black, it's about being in control. That's cool and inspirational ... girls need that."[2]
