About Kouros
Launched in 1981 and created by Pierre Bourdon, Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Cologne is a masculine aromatic fougere fragrance. It features hints of coriander, bergamot, geranium, cinnamon and musk.
Fragrance Family:
Musky
Scent Type:
Aromatic
Notes:
Light scents such as bergamot and artemisia make up the top notes of Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Cologne, while middle notes contain spices and florals such as cinnamon and carnation. Base notes of this cologne include musk, leather and amber. The result is a seductive earthy fragrance with slight hints of spices.
Suggested Use
For long-lasting fragrance that you can carry throughout the day and to minimize the need for reapplying, focus on your pulse points behind your ears, at the base of your neck and on your wrists as well as warmer areas of the body, such as behind the knees and inside the elbow. These are the best places to apply your fragrance since the scent intensifies by the warmth of your body.
FAQ for Kouros
What does Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Cologne smell like?
This musky fragrance is deeply masculine with its hints of leather, tonka bean and oakmoss. However, the middle notes of cinnamon and geranium, along with top notes like aldehydes and coriander ensure it's not an overpowering aroma.
What kind of scent is Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Cologne?
This musky fragrance is an EDT, which means up to 15% pure perfume. While these fragrances create a stronger scent, they typically only last about 2-3 hours.
What are the notes in Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Cologne?
- Top Notes: aldehydes, clary sage, bergamot, coriander, artemisia
- Heart Notes: patchouli, vetiver, cinnamon, orris root, carnation, geranium, jasmine
- Base Notes: civet, leather, oakmoss, tonka bean, honey, musk, amber, vanilla
What season is Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Cologne best for?
The earthy base notes and spices in this fragrance make Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Cologne an excellent choice for wearing during the fall and winter months.
Is Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Cologne suitable for all occasions?
The ingredients in this cologne are stronger than many others when you consider it is an EDT. Typically, this scent has a longevity of 3-4 hours and is the perfect choice for a special evening out. However, when sprayed lightly, it is also a good choice for wearing to the office.
Can it be worn by both men and women?
Although Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Cologne is marketed to men, anyone who enjoys earthy and spicy fragrances can wear it.
Where do you apply Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Cologne?
If you want a longer-lasting fragrance, apply a bit of petroleum jelly to the pulse points on your wrists, inner elbows, neck and chest before spritzing on the cologne. You can also create a lighter fragrance by spraying it onto your clothing or hair.
How long does it last?
This cologne is an EDT, which means it typically lasts 3-4 hours. Remember, though, that the temperature outside and your own body chemistry determines how the fragrance smells and its longevity. Consider reapplying throughout the day as needed.

Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Cologne can be purchased at major department stores, but FragranceX is a solid option for buying perfumes and colognes online. FragranceX sells authentic, quality fragrances at discount prices, allowing you to save up to 80% off.

Terrible insult to the original classic
As the title suggests, this is absolutely terrible since IFRA came along and the reformulating began. It really is such a shame that a very, very classy (but divisive) fragrance has been completely ruined! The original was 10/10!
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

It has become bad. Kouros is no longer Kouros!!
It has become very bad. It has a suffocating industrial smell. It is no longer what it was in the past. It was a symbol of elegance in the time of the legend Yves Saint Laurent. I will not buy this insecticide again.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Fragrance doesn't last
The product is inferior to the previous kouros I bought at brick and mortar duty free shops for the last 19 years for my dad who lives in a foreign country. The scent barely lasts an hour. And for the price I expected a quality product as it was not significantly discounted.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Strong!!
Use an extremely small amount- one SMALL spray! This is a great fragrance but it is beginning to border on being a hair too sweet for my tastes. As I get older, my nose has become more sensitive. This is definitely a night-time party scent. I discovered this in the late eighties and loved it, then. I could be wrong but the smell seems to have slightly changed since then. It could just be me, though.

Not the 80s Formulation
Bought this for my father and grandfather who wore during the 1980s and both agreed while nice this is not the original scent profile by a long shot - just want to manage expectations for people who have loved this cologne for a long time!

Good only for certain places
You should only use kourous if your going our clubbing drinking and smoking the reason I say this that it's really strong for other things like work dating or daily wear but if your going to sweat and party it's perfect cause at the end of the night you'll still smell like the cologne
