Kouros is a fragrance that came to be in 1981, which would explain a lot for anyone who comes across it. Yves Saint Laurent enlisted the help of Pierre Bourdon in composing it, who in turn incorporated aldehydes, clary sage, bergamot, coriander, carnation, cinnamon, vetiver, geranium, honey, amber, leather, civet, musk and vanilla. It has since then been reformulated, but it retains the strong aroma that leaves people leaning towards either of the two camps: captivated or repulsed.
