Kouros Tattoo

by Nathalie Feisthauer

Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Tattoo is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2007, created by Nathalie Feisthauer. Kouros Tattoo opens with Neroli, Bergamot, and Mandarin, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Incense. Yves Saint Laurent's Kouros Tattoo carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

If the original Kouros was too much, Kouros Tattoo offers a lighter, more wearable take on the classic. It retains the signature musky barbershop vibe but dials back the intensity, making it surprisingly versatile for a flanker. A summer glory for Kouros fans.

About

Kouros Tattoo opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and mandarin, quickly softened by neroli's floral sweetness. It then settles into a woody-musky core, evoking a clean, soapy barbershop feel. The drydown reveals a subtle, smoky hint of incense grounding the cedar, retaining the Kouros DNA without its infamous assertiveness.
