The review
Shiny scores 5.2 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing 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.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
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
Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Silver is bergamot, grapefruit and aldehydes at first, violet leaf, geranium and cardamom at its heart and amber, musk and cedar at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
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.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
