Kouros in detail
Kouros Eau de Toilette is an aromatic chypre by Yves Saint Laurent, with spicy, animalic notes. Its page gives neither the year nor the perfumer, but details a rich pyramid.
At the top, orange blossom essence, lavender, wormwood and coriander give an aromatic, fresh opening. In the heart, geranium, cinnamon leaf, carnation and clove, which the house names together, and rosemary form a spicy accord. In the base, moss, leather, patchouli and vetiver leave a chypre, animalic trail.
Kouros is worn in autumn and winter, by day or in the evening. It is a powerful, spicy chypre, for those who love masculine fragrances with character. It goes along with a winter evening or a dinner.
Three niche chypres in our catalogue share some of its materials: Diaghilev by Roja Parfums brings together clove, patchouli, vetiver and leather; Memoir Woman by Amouage pairs clove and leather; Apex Pour Homme by Roja Parfums combines patchouli and leather.
