More about Yves Saint Laurent Kouros
Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent is a 1981 aromatic fougere eau de toilette for men, created by Pierre Bourdon. Aldehydes, coriander, clary sage, artemisia and bergamot open it sharp and herbal. Patchouli, carnation, vetiver, jasmine, geranium, orris root, cinnamon and lavender form a spicy, floral heart. Civet, musk, leather, honey, oakmoss, amber, tonka bean and vanilla leave a warm, animalic base. Musky and animalic, Yves Saint Laurent Kouros is at its best in fall and winter, by night.
