Yves Saint Laurent Kouros
Eau de Toilette | Masculine

A bold expression of primal sophistication, Yves Saint Laurent Kouros (launched in 1981 by Pierre Bourdon) channels ancient Greek strength—an aromatic-spicy fougère built on animalic accents, lush honey, and a daring blend of civet and leather. Its iconic white marble-like bottle reflects a fragrance that’s as controversial as it is magnetic.
