Yves Saint Laurent 1981 EDT
Kouros
Yves Saint Laurent Kouros is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1981, created by Pierre Bourdon. Kouros opens with Bergamot, Coriander, Clary Sage, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Patchouli, Jasmine, and Orris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Oakmoss. Yves Saint Laurent's Kouros carries an Acquired verdict, a animalic-led wear.
Kouros is a divisive legend that pulls no punches: animalic, musky, and unapologetically masculine, it wears like a feral white marble statue. The ultimate statement for those who crave power, complexity, and vintage bravado.

Best Seasons
Kouros is a powerhouse with heavy animalic, musky and spicy notes that suit colder weather, giving it a dominant presence in fall and winter. Its intensity can overwhelm in the summer heat but works well in the transitional and cooler months.
Best Occasions
This is a bold, commanding fragrance best suited for formal occasions or evening wear when you want to make a statement. Its assertiveness and projection can be too much for the office or casual/sporty settings.
