Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Cologne Sport Eau d'Ete Summer Fragrance is a Cologne launched in 2004. Kouros Cologne Sport Eau d'Ete Summer Fragrance opens with Bergamot and Mint, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Amber and Cedar. Yves Saint Laurent's Kouros Cologne Sport Eau d'Ete Summer Fragrance carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

If the original Kouros is a bit much, this brighter, fresher take on the 'sport' flanker offers a surprisingly good performance for a summer scent, perfect for keeping it light and breezy without totally vanishing.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Built on aromatic, fresh spicy and green - a composition that sits best in spring, summer and autumn.

Its fresh, aromatic profile and reasonable projection make it ideal for casual wear and the office, where subtlety is appreciated. While reviewers noted good longevity for a summer scent, it's not overpowering enough for more formal events, nor is it a dedicated sport fragrance despite the name.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with an invigorating burst of fresh mint and zesty bergamot, quickly setting a vibrant, clean tone. The heart unfurls with a soft, aromatic lavender and a hint of delicate jasmine, adding a touch of floral sophistication without veering into overly sweet territory. This then settles into a sturdy yet understated base of warm amber and dry cedar, providing an earthy anchor that maintains its fresh appeal throughout the day.
