About

Kouros Fraicheur opens with a vibrant burst of bergamot and coriander, softened by a touch of neroli, creating an immediate fresh yet sophisticated impression. The heart introduces an unexpected juicy pineapple and sweet honey, beautifully complemented by the rich floralcy of orange blossom and geranium, alongside a hint of spicy clove. As it settles, a classic masculine base emerges with earthy vetiver and patchouli, warmed by ambergris and a creamy vanilla tonka bean blend, delivering a smooth, lasting impression.
