Les dieux vivants ont leur parfum. Kouros. 1984 Charles of the Ritz (Paris) version. Long review. The scent of gods. Kouros. A marvel of 1980's perfumery, Yves Saint Laurent's ‘most expensive perfume for men' came 4 years after Opium, the oriental that changed the world and shaped a generation into...

Kouros for men is most definitely a unique fragrance, so it lives up to the daring name of the company. It was obviously a hit, though, because it has stayed around for three decades.

Kouros is a deceptively simple incense-based fougere that was born in 1981, and sure smells like it. There are clove, oakmoss, and some illusory citrus elements that I believe are cleverly composed using certain synthetic ingredients. The effect has been

Affordable; unique smell

A little dated

We discovered this scent when we were living in Saudi Arabia. This is my favorite edt on my husband. It smells so sexy on him. He has gotten many compliments on this product.

A timeless masterpiece and the reference when you talk about 100% masculine scents. No woman will venture wearing this fragrance and many will appreciate it on you. If you want to smell like Pablo Escobar, Tony Montana or Black Dynamite, try this. Hail King Kouros!

Repeat order 100% AUTHENTIC From BOOTS (only) this is virtually the same as the original mind blow 80s version, just gotta shake each time before use to keep all the notes mixed properly! Then it's smells absolutely amazing on the opening!

I really wish I'd bought 100ml of this but I definitely will next time! I love this fragrance, smells like apples but very fresh and very unlikely to offend. One of Kouros's best I think. Recommended.

"This has got to be the most sexiest aftershave i have ever had the pleasure of smelling. It is the best present any female could buy her other half for a present, as they won't be disappointed with the results. I often ask Alasdair to go and put it on just to get a whiff of it.

A QUALITY AFTER SHAVE

MAY HAVE TOO MANY WOMEN CHASING YOU WEARING THIS

I loved kouros from first sniff and have been using it for 30 + years. I bought a bottle when I was in college in the 80s. Girls would swoon. I have a bottle of the old formula and a bottle of the new . The new is ok but it is not the same and nowhere near as good ..

I've been using this for 15 years. YSL Kouros will always be my favourite.
