Base notes
Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent is a captivating fragrance featuring animalic, aromatic, woody accords. It opens with Coriander, Clary Sage, transitions to a heart of Carnation, Cinnamon, and settles into a base of Leather, Musk. A timeless creation for the modern connoisseur.
Scent story
To me it smells like a marble temple at the height of a ritual, incense and something animal in the air. Coriander and clary sage open sharp and green, almost shocking, and then carnation and cinnamon bloom dark and spicy through the middle. The base is where legends are made: leather, musk, amber — animalic, powerful, completely unapologetic. This is the beast of 1981, a scent that cleared rooms and started conversations. It does not ask for your approval. It never has. Not for beginners. Beginners stay away.
