Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Eau de Toilette 100ml Spray

Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Eau de Toilette is a landmark masculine fragrance launched in 1981 and created by master perfumer Pierre Bourdon. A bold aromatic fougère inspired by the gods of ancient Greece, Kouros opens with bright aldehydes and citrus, blooms with spicy florals and settles into a powerful base of honey, leather and animalic musks — an unapologetic statement of timeless masculinity.
