Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Sample for Men – A Timeless Statement of Strength and Sensuality | Scents Angel

Bold. Iconic. Eternal. Yves Saint Laurent Kouros isn’t just a fragrance—it’s a statement. Since its launch in 1981, this powerful fougère has stood the test of time, remaining a hallmark of masculine elegance and strength. Now, with Scents Angel’s 5 ml sample, you can experience the legendary essence of Kouros before investing in the full-sized bottle. Whether you’re discovering this classic for the first time or revisiting a signature scent of your past, this sample invites you to explore YSL’s vision of manhood with confidence and freedom.

Kouros was created for the man who is unafraid to take up space, a man who commands attention not with noise, but with presence. This scent doesn’t follow trends—it sets them. At once clean and animalic, airy and deeply resinous, it’s a powerful paradox that leaves a lasting impression.

🌬 A Classic Reborn in Every Drop

YSL Kouros is inspired by the ancient Greek statues of idealized masculine beauty—the kouroi—and it reflects that mythological perfection through a bold blend of aromatic herbs, spices, incense, and sensual musks. The fragrance is rich in history and modern in edge, offering a scent profile that’s as strong as it is spiritual.

Now available at Scents Angel in a 5 ml sample size, you can explore this bold olfactory experience without the commitment of a full bottle. It’s the perfect option for fragrance collectors, nostalgic fans, or anyone curious about the powerful scents of classic masculine perfumery.

🧴 Scent Profile – Aromatic, Spicy, and Warm

Top Notes: Aldehydes, artemisia, coriander, clary sage, bergamot
Heart Notes: Carnation, cinnamon, jasmine, vetiver, geranium
Base Notes: Oakmoss, patchouli, civet, honey, leather, musk, amber

From the very first spritz, Kouros announces itself with a metallic-fresh blast of aldehydes and herbs—bright bergamot, earthy sage, and green artemisia work together to spark immediate intrigue. As the fragrance evolves, floral and spicy heart notes emerge, with jasmine and carnation playing against the warm spice of cinnamon and the earthiness of vetiver. The base is where Kouros becomes unforgettable—deep, animalic notes of civet, musky amber, and honeyed leather merge into a sensual, commanding dry down that lasts for hours.

This is not a fragrance for the faint of heart. It's rich, it's potent, and it dares to be different. Kouros is ideal for men who want their scent to speak before they do.

🧑💼 Ideal For the Classic, Confident Man

YSL Kouros is for those who aren’t afraid of boldness. It’s perfect for:

• Men who appreciate vintage-style, powerhouse fragrances

• Cold-weather wear, especially during fall and winter

• Evening events, power meetings, or romantic nights out

• Fragrance collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate complex compositions

This fragrance pairs beautifully with a crisp white shirt, leather jacket, or tailored suit. It’s unapologetic in character, offering depth and assertiveness while also carrying a spiritual, almost meditative quality from its incensey base.

⏳ Longevity, Sillage & Performance

• Longevity: 8–12 hours with strong staying power

• Sillage: High—this fragrance leaves a trail and draws attention

• Projection: Strong—Kouros fills a room with just a few sprays

This is the kind of fragrance that becomes part of your presence. One application in the morning will last all day, evolving through its layers of green, floral, and musky warmth. If you're looking for a signature scent that doesn’t fade into the background, Kouros delivers that and more.
