YSL KOUROS BODY EDT 100ML

Product Information

And really, really awesome. I really like Body Kouros, and I wear it a lot. Although I was curious how much I would really use him, he is a little older and older... i use it more and more to my astonishment with the time! He's just aged really well, completely timeless to me. If something like this came out on the mass market now, people would probably be surprised how something like fancy can look so natural at the same time. That's how I feel at least... Sweet-oriental as stated here, yes. But I also find slightly fresh, and a little ethereal, by the eucalyptus, but perhaps also the camphor wood. This fragrance entered my life at the perfect moment when I couldn’t fathom that something could possess such an irresistible allure.

A description that most people might also say is, I think Body Kouros is very Le Male by nature. There's this sweetie with an oriental touch. But there is a concise masculine chord, and an ethereal (Le Male even maritime) freshness that cushions the whole. Each individual’s response to a fragrance is unique, and you may discover your own fascination with this little gem.

Directions

Kouros Eau de Toilette – an aromatic musk fragrance released in 1981. The main notes include civet, honey, and leather. The lasting power is between 8 – 10 hours with moderate projection. Yves Saint Laurent has been a staple name in the fashion and perfume industries for a good chunk of the last 60 years and is one of the most iconic luxury fashion houses in the world. The bottle itself doesn’t have a removable cap which means that what you have is the built-in sprayer. The atomizer sprays wide and nicely, without spraying too much. On the top of the atomizer, you’ll find the Ysl logo. Guys or ladies over 30 and 40 years of age will feel right at home with this one. That’s if they like musky fragrances, and by musky, I mean the old-school kind of musk.

Due to its scent profile, it may lean towards being overly sweet during warmer weather and may lose some of its full-bodied character when the temperature drops. Richter, Gisela M. A. and Irma A. Richter. 1934–1936. "The Archaic 'Apollo' in the Metropolitan Museum." Metropolian Museum Studies, 5: pp. 20–57, figs. 1-14, 23. This flanker continues to captivate fragrance enthusiasts to this day and has become a testament to the creativity behind YSL fragrance offerings. During the last decade, I have tried at least three noticeably different formulations of Kouros, and this dynamic between dirty and clean seems to be almost completely gone in this newest formulation. When it comes to perfumes, from the 80s up until the late 2000’s Yves Saint Laurent was one of the most influential and creative houses that released hit after hit.Trends have changed, and people have switched to fresh and sweet offerings, but there is a big but here. If Chanel has managed to save Antaeus which also uses Civet as the main note, I have to wonder why L’Oreal skipped this opportunity to keep the old Kouros magnificent.

The whole thing also lasts for a very long time, a normal working day with a good 8 hours is easily possible. A certain scent is present, but with a moderate dosage nobody should get breathlessness. Drawing inspiration from the ancient Greek sculpture known as “ Kouros,” Yves Saint Laurent crafted a fragrance flanker that exudes strength, and sex appeal.Oakmoss, Civet, Honey, and Leather combination in Kouros dry down is something yet to be surpassed by another perfume. Too bad it’s practically a skin scent when it reaches this stage.
