Launched in 1981, YSL Kouros is a legendary fragrance created by perfumer Pierre Bourdon. It’s famous for its daring and unconventional scent profile that challenged traditional masculinity in perfumery. Kouros is intense, rich, and unapologetically masculine, designed for men who want to stand out.
The fragrance opens with sharp, aromatic aldehydes, bergamot, and coriander, offering a bright and spicy introduction. The heart is a complex blend of clary sage, cinnamon, jasmine, and rose, adding a floral yet spicy depth. The base is where Kouros truly stands out, combining musk, amber, vanilla, oakmoss, and leather, giving it a warm, animalic, and leathery finish that lasts for hours.
Known for its projection and longevity, Kouros is a statement scent best suited for cooler weather and evening wear. Its unique blend often divides opinions but remains a cult classic among fragrance aficionados.
The bottle is striking with its gold and black color scheme, reflecting its bold and luxurious nature.
