Kouros
Aldehydes, coriander, clary sage — read like that it sounds simple. Yves Saint Laurent Kouros is not.
How it moves
It arrives on aldehydes, coriander, clary sage, artemisia and bergamot — bright, immediate, gone before you have decided about it. The middle belongs to carnation, cinnamon, patchouli, orris, jasmine and geranium. What is left hours later is leather, musk, civet, honey, vetiver, amber and vanilla, and that is the part people follow you for.
Who made it
Pierre Bourdon composed it in 1981, for Yves Saint Laurent in France. Pierre Bourdon's animalic fougère is famously divisive, praised as godlike masculinity and derided as smelling of unwashed skin.
