Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent is a Aromatic Fougere fragrance for men. An elegant, seductive men's fragrance. A perfume masterpiece that combines carefully selected elements to create an overall sophisticated scent. Upon the first encounter, Kouros releases a rush of vibrant, bright top notes. The slightly metallic essence of aldehydes mingle with the refreshing and subtly peppery notes of coriander, the bittersweet green herbaceous scent of clary sage, and the strong aromatic and camphor-like scent of artemisia. The citrusy, mildly spicy, and faintly bitter aroma of bergamot completes the top notes, forming a lively, arresting introduction. The heart of Kouros is deeply aromatic and lushly spiced. Earthy patchouli with its sweet, dark, and musky aroma coalesces with the piquant, rich floral scent of carnation. Geranium lends a green, fresh floral nuance while vetiver, with its woodsy, earthy and balsamic tones, enriches the overall profile. The sweetness of cinnamon, the intoxicating, slightly animalistic allure of jasmine, the buttery, slightly sweet, and intensely floral notes of orris root, and the calming, herbaceous scent of lavender unite to form an elaborate bouquet of middle notes. Finally, Kouros unfolds its deep and intriguing base. Here the musky animalistic odour of civet is smoothed out by the sweet, floral, and slightly waxy tones of honey. A sturdy leather aroma pairs with the powdery, sensual, and primal scent of musk, creating an intricate dance of heavy scents. Earthy oakmoss and the complex, warm, sweet scent of amber add to the fragrance's masculine strength. The bittersweet, almond-like fragrance of tonka bean, along with the warm, sensual, comforting notes of vanilla round out the base notes. They give a soft, soothing closure to this intense aromatic journey.
Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent is a unique, deeply seductive scent - a symphony of aromatic experiences that create an air of virile mystique and commanding presence. This classic fragrance is undeniably suited for men who value sophistication and charisma.
