Bold, animalic, classically \"Mediterranean masculine\" and entirely uncompromising, Kouros has been worn for more than four decades by men who like their fragrance with character and confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Yves Saint Laurent\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYves Saint Laurent is the celebrated French fashion house founded in 1961 by Yves Henri Donat Mathieu-Saint-Laurent. YSL Beauty has produced some of the most iconic fragrances in modern perfumery — Opium (1977), Paris (1983), and Kouros (1981) among them. Kouros remains the brand's longest-running masculine pillar, named after the Greek statues of young athletes that inspired its packaging and identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aldehydes, Coriander, Clary Sage, Artemisia, Bergamot\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeart:\u003c\/strong\u003e Patchouli, Carnation, Jasmine, Vetiver, Geranium, Orris Root, Cinnamon, Lavender\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Civet, Musk, Honey, Leather, Oakmoss, Amber, Tonka Bean, Vanilla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOlfactory family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aromatic Fougère  |  \u003cstrong\u003eLaunched:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1981  |  \u003cstrong\u003ePerfumer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pierre Bourdon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe story behind Kouros\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePierre Bourdon's vision for Kouros was inspired by the marble statues of ancient Greek athletes — young, unapologetic, masculine. The composition pairs a fresh aldehydic-aromatic opening with a deeply animalic heart and a leather-honey-amber base that has earned the fragrance a near-mythical reputation. Kouros is not subtle, and that is precisely the point — it makes a statement and lingers. The clean-cut white-and-blue bottle, designed by Pierre Dinand, mirrors the temple-like architecture of classical antiquity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKouros is for men who like fragrances with serious presence — those who appreciate vintage-style masculines (Aramis, Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, Azzaro Pour Homme) and aren't afraid of a confident, animalic drydown. It performs best in autumn and winter, on evenings and in formal contexts where its character has room to bloom. A polarising fragrance in the best sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to wear it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApply sparingly — Kouros is highly projecting; one or two sprays is usually enough.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMist onto pulse points: wrists, neck, behind the ears, and a touch on the chest.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApply to clean, moisturised skin for the best longevity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAllow the fragrance some time before judging — the animalic base develops over the first 30–60 minutes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConcentration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eau de Toilette\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGender:\u003c\/strong\u003e Men\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yves Saint Laurent\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1981\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfumer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pierre Bourdon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA confident, statement-making classical masculine — Kouros isn't for everyone, but the men who love it tend to love it for life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Perfume Shop S","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58260195082588,"sku":"L4332","price":81.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0882\/0378\/8636\/files\/Yves-Saint-Laurent-Kouros-Eau-de-Toilette-50ml-Spr-6.jpg?v=1783876670","url":"https:\/\/vinceproject.com\/bg\/products\/yves-saint-laurent-kouros-eau-de-toilette-50ml-spray","provider":"Vitrax ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
