Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Eau d'Ete 2005 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2005. Kouros Eau d'Ete 2005 opens with Bergamot, Mint, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Rosemary, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Frankincense, and Ambergris. Yves Saint Laurent's Kouros Eau d'Ete 2005 carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a clean, fresh, and slightly aquatic twist on the Kouros DNA, sacrificing none of the aromatic punch. It's a crowd-pleasing warm-weather scent that delivers on its promise of a lighter, brighter Kouros experience without losing its character.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

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
  • 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

Kouros Eau d'Ete 2005 opens with a fleeting, crisp burst of cool mint and sharp bergamot, underscored by the herbaceous bite of artemisia. As the initial freshness settles, a verdant heart emerges, blending aromatic rosemary with a soft touch of jasmine's white floral elegance. The dry down is anchored by a sophisticated base of salty ambergris, solemn frankincense, and dry cedar, providing a subtle, clean warmth that lingers beautifully on the skin.
