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 and Amber. Yves Saint Laurent's Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Silver carries an Acquired verdict, a herbal-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.

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.
