Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Silver EDT

Which Should You Buy?
Tracks Diesel's Only The Brave Tattoo closely - that signature crisp apple over peppery sage and a tobacco-amber base. Perfume Parlour's take pushes the sweet apple a little louder and lets the smoky tobacco-patchouli depth thin out, so it lands a touch flatter and shorter-lived than the punchy original.
A divisive scent that’s a love-it-or-hate-it affair, particularly for fans of the original Kouros. Many find it a pleasant, modern fruity-aromatic, while others decry it as generic and a betrayal of the iconic nameplate. It's safe, but not for everyone.

Seasons
The spicy tobacco-amber base shines in cool autumn and winter, while the bright apple keeps it wearable in spring.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its fresh and clean profile makes it suitable for casual and sport settings, and its strong projection means it can work for dates without being too overwhelming. The fruitiness might be a bit too playful for formal wear, and while not beastly, its good performance means a lighter hand for the office.
