Description
Make a bold statement with Yves Saint Laurent Kouros, an iconic maximalist fragrance that revolutionized men’s perfumery. Built around a distinctive, animalic character, this aromatic oriental fougère announces itself with a sharp opening of aldehydes, clary sage, and bergamot. It evolves into a dense heart of carnation, patchouli, and vetiver before resting on an extraordinarily rich base of civet, honey, leather, oakmoss, and amber. Unapologetically masculine and exceptionally long-lasting, Kouros is engineered for confident wear during cold-weather seasons and formal evenings.
