The review
Worth a try. That is where Shiny For Men lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Kouros Silver.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Kouros Silver's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: bergamot, grapefruit and aldehydes up top, violet leaf, geranium and cardamom in the middle, amber, musk and cedar underneath — the shape of Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Silver.
Top
- bergamot
- grapefruit
- aldehydes
Heart
- violet leaf
- geranium
- cardamom
Base
- amber
- musk
- cedar
A clean modern take that borrows the Kouros name but almost none of its animalic nerve.
