Yves Saint Laurent Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Silver is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2015, created by Olivier Pescheux and Michel Girard. Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Silver opens with Apple, settles into a heart of Sage, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes and Amber. Yves Saint Laurent's Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Silver carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive scent that’s a love-it-or-hate-it affair, particularly for fans of the original Kouros. Many find it a pleasant, modern fruity-aromatic, while others decry it as generic and a betrayal of the iconic nameplate. It's safe, but not for everyone.

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.

When To Wear

Best For:

Also Works:
Date

Its fresh and clean profile makes it suitable for casual and sport settings, and its strong projection means it can work for dates without being too overwhelming. The fruitiness might be a bit too playful for formal wear, and while not beastly, its good performance means a lighter hand for the office.

About

Kouros Silver burst opens with a prominent, almost candy-like green apple that's both fresh and sweet. herbal sage soon emerges, adding an aromatic, slightly frozen edge to the fruity top. The dry-down settles into a smooth, woody amber base, retaining a hint of that initial apple brightness, but some experience a 'metallic puke' or popcorn-like accord.
