The direction of men's fragrance changed entirely when Kouros Cologne launched, and its bold, animalic character still feels distinctive today. Aldehydes, coriander, clary sage, artemisia, and bergamot lead with a sharp, herbal freshness that announces itself immediately. Patchouli, carnation, vetiver, geranium, jasmine, and orris root shape the heart into a dense, spiced floral accord rarely attempted by modern releases. Civet, honey, leather, musk, oakmoss, amber, tonka bean, and vanilla land in an extraordinarily rich, resinous base with remarkable longevity. As an aromatic oriental fougere, Kouros suits confident men who want their fragrance felt across a room, best reserved for evenings and cooler months. Yves Saint Laurent built this cologne as an unapologetic statement of virility, and decades later it remains a benchmark for maximalist masculine perfumery. A single spray is distinctly enough, since its projection remains strong for the better part of a day.

FAQ
Yves Saint Laurent Kouros is a bold aromatic fougere that smells clean and animalic at the same time. Aldehydes, clary sage, and artemisia give it a sharp, soapy-herbal start, carnation, cinnamon, and lavender add spice, and honey, leather, civet, and oakmoss create a rich, sensual base.
The top notes are aldehydes, coriander, clary sage, artemisia, and bergamot. Patchouli, carnation, jasmine, vetiver, geranium, orris root, cinnamon, and lavender form the heart, and the base is made up of civet, musk, leather, honey, oakmoss, amber, tonka bean, and vanilla.
Longevity varies with skin chemistry, application, and weather, but Kouros is famously strong for an Eau De Toilette. Its honeyed, musky base can linger for many hours, so one or two sprays is plenty.
Its powerful, confident character suits evenings out, dinners, and cool-weather occasions. It is best avoided in small, crowded spaces.
Fall and winter are ideal, when its honey, leather, and animalic notes feel warm rather than overwhelming. Hot weather can make it too intense.
Yves Saint Laurent Kouros is classified as a fragrance for men, and Perfumania lists it in its men's range. Fans of bold, classic fougeres of any gender enjoy it, but it is not marketed as unisex.
Yves Saint Laurent Kouros is available at Perfumania. Shoppers can check the product page for current pricing and availability.
Perfumania lists Kouros Eau De Toilette in three sizes: a 1.6 oz. spray, a 3.3 oz. spray, and a 3.3 oz. tester.
Perfumania guarantees that Yves Saint Laurent Kouros is 100% authentic. Every bottle is sourced through a legitimate supply chain, so customers can shop with confidence knowing they are purchasing an authentic Yves Saint Laurent Kouros at a great value. Perfumania has been offering original fragrances since 1980, combining a wide selection with competitive prices.
The first spray is a sharp, soapy burst of aldehydes and bitter herbs like artemisia and clary sage. A spicy floral heart of carnation, cinnamon, geranium, and lavender follows, and over time the scent turns warm and dirty-sweet with honey, leather, civet, musk, and oakmoss.
