Kouros YSL Fragrance Oil

Discover the unmistakable character of Kouros YSL Fragrance Oil, inspired by the iconic Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent. Originally launched in 1981 and created by perfumer Pierre Bourdon, Kouros is recognized for its powerful aromatic, spicy, woody, leathery, and musky character.

The fragrance opens with aldehydes, coriander, clary sage, artemisia, and bergamot, creating a crisp, aromatic introduction with a distinctive vintage-inspired elegance. Bergamot adds freshness, while coriander and herbal notes give the opening its energetic character.

At the heart, patchouli, carnation, jasmine, geranium, vetiver, cinnamon, orris root, and lavender create a complex aromatic-floral layer. Warm cinnamon and patchouli add depth, while jasmine, geranium, and carnation bring refined floral character.

As the fragrance settles, leather, musk, honey, amber, oakmoss, tonka bean, and vanilla create a rich and lasting foundation. The combination of warm sweetness, earthy woods, soft musk, and leather gives the dry-down its distinctive depth and sophisticated personality.
