Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Silver

by: Sanja Pekic

Yves Saint Laurent launched the iconic fragrance Kouros in 1981.Kouros Silver, coming out in 2015, is a new, modern interpretation of the classic. It is intended for summer season, fresher and cooler than the original.

"The olfactory development of Kouros Silver reflects the evolution of men's perfume. Once all about 'hygiene,' it is now multifaceted: coolness, power, sensuality. The challenge was respecting the original perfume's sensual and powerful identity while adding innovation and a modern vision in line with the expectations of today's men."

Created by perfumers Michel Girard and Olivier Pescheux, the composition begins with fresh fruity accords apple that develops into the aromatic heart of sage. Sensual woody notes and amber form the base of the perfume.
