Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Eau de Toilette for Him - 100 ml 626-307HP

Product Information

Nevermind. You are and always will be the one. Kind of phony on my side since I said the same for the original, the white K. Nevermind. You got the same dirty musks, use the same soap and visit the same toilet, so it’s alright. Those juicy pineapples you feast on may be a distinguishing feature, but they can hardly hide who you really are. And this time I will rate you. I rushed home to rub vinegar on myself to remove the smell. I think the smell is mostly gone. This review has helped me process the trauma. Korous is very strong. You will walk in a room and immediately leave impressions. Expect neutral comments. Some will tell you of how it reminds them of certain smells. Some will inadvertently linger in the sillage, in the aura, captivated by a dense confusion. Kouros takes its inspiration from Greece. I can definitely see exactly where . Many congratulations to the designer for managing to replicate the smell of a sweaty minotaur. It has been reformulated in 2022. My bottle is from late 2022 with the formula 875283-04. You can see it just before the list of ingredients. Before this reformulation it was the 875283-02 code.

This fragrance is a milestone of haute couture fragrance creations and it is an absolute statement, a very successful statement. It is profound and fascinating and it is impossible to imagine life without it anyway. It was a long time ago when I wanted to give this perfume to my father because I rarely used it. Knowing that he always used cheap colognes, I wrote him on the bottle that 1 application on the body is enough.

YSL Kouros Eau de Toilette

But then again, Kouros is primordially erotic, sensual, of desire. And this hunk soon goes swimming, to cool down in the clear blue waters. From afar you gaze, watching how he swims with artistic grace, taking long strokes until he disappears into the ocean, only to emerge refreshed, with a white brief, that barely hides his masculinity. He smiles politely at you, and lays down on his towel. You feel embarrassed but somehow, you can’t stop staring at him. He lights a cigarette, and suddenly you smell the smoke that comes out of his full lips, the light sweat, the smell of salt evaporating from his body, the smell of Coppertone sun oil; you smell him. And the smell, combined, feels animal, debaucherous, lustful, hedonistic. There’s nothing explicitly sexual, but you get aroused simply by the thought of it; a hot summer, a one night stand, a perfect stranger. Living dangerously, youth is risky and hormone driven. Let go and surrender. In case you are in doubt whether you should consider buying Ysl Kouros or not, it’s always good to take a look at Scent Grail’s S.P.A. Signature Factor Guide.

Long working day coupled with an excessive afterwork, then still (what was her name again) conquest on the other side of the bed, got up much too late, no time for shower. Once, I could imagine gyms and casual scenarios where Ysl Kouros would fit like bread and butter, due to its original idea as a celebration of the male body, and bodybuilding. We schmoozed around the corner of the showers and laughed ourselves silly about the celebrating players and their rituals. It smelled like cheap consumer soap. No lather, just a lather. From the urinals, separated only by a curtain of burlap, a mixture of limestone and urinal balls wafted over. In addition, the stench of players' shirts soaked in sports sweat, manufacturer Kristall, VEB Trikotagen. After foot it smelled also. There is definitely a clean/dirty contrast as many say. The "clean" aspect of this fragrance is very similar to Paco Rabanne Pour Homme. To me they're like cousins. It also has this sweaty, musky aspect which gives it a raucous and sexually suggestive character, which does not come off as a body odor smell to me. It does not smell like urine! Kouros is best appreciated as a close waft because if you smell it directly on skin and are not used to this kind of a scent, you will most likely be put off by it. With the current formulation 3 sprays should be enough. Definitely lasts more than 10 hours and even the next day I can still smell it very lightly on my skin.

Jacques Bogart One Man Show Gold Edition – an aromatic Fougere fragrance released in 2011. The main notes include Red Apple, Musk, and Cinnamon. The lasting power is 8 – 10 hours with moderate projection.

Kouros is one of the most polarizing fragrances, a sign of genius and innovation, a true ‘love it or hate it’ perfume. I, feel it’s one of the most beautiful creations and for me it’s the best male perfume ever created. But that’s just me, and while I adore it, I know many can’t stand it.

Will you be claiming the VAT back?

For ex Dior Fahrenheit smells like gasoline up close but in the air smells like Rain & Thunder, same thing with Chanel Antaues, Givenchy Gentleman & the list goes on... Must admit it made me gag the first time i sprayed it on my hand but maybe it was from autosuggestion on my part.
