Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Tonique 2014 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2014. Kouros Tonique 2014 opens with Bergamot, Star Anise, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Patchouli and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Incense. Yves Saint Laurent's Kouros Tonique 2014 carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

This flanker to the divisive original Kouros is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect strong opinions, often within the same person. It's fresher than the original but still carries a bold, almost brutal character that demands attention.

About

Kouros Tonique 2014 kicks off with a sharp, almost aggressive burst of aldehydic freshness, spiked with star anise and bright bergamot. The heart reveals a green geranium and earthy patchouli, providing a bridge to the dry, smoky base. Finally, a grounding blend of cedar and incense emerges, leaving a warm yet austere trail that lingers on the skin.
