Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Eau de Toilette 100mL

Aromatic · Fougère · Leathery

Launched in 1981 and named for the ancient Greek statues of idealised male youth, Kouros was one of the boldest, most animalic masculine fragrances of its era — a fragrance built to announce raw masculinity rather than politely suggest it. Aldehydes, coriander, artemisia, clary sage and bergamot open sharp and herbal, before patchouli, carnation, vetiver, cinnamon and orris root build a dense, spiced heart. Leather, honey, musk, oakmoss, amber, tonka bean and vanilla settle into an intensely rich, animalic base. Over forty years on, it remains one of the most powerful fougères ever released.
