Kouros Cologne Sport by Yves Saint Laurent, launched in 2003 and crafted by Francis Kurkdjian, is an aromatic fougère that balances freshness with warmth. The fragrance opens with a vibrant mint and bergamot duo, which quickly transitions into the soft floral notes of jasmine and lavender. This blend creates a dynamic contrast between the crispness of its top notes and the comforting woody base of white amber and cedar. Kouros Cologne Sport is not just a scent; it's an embodiment of modern masculinity, combining the freshness of sport with the elegance of Yves Saint Laurent’s heritage.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a balanced experience. The mint and bergamot top notes are bright but quick to fade, so aim for a few sprays initially. The woody base notes take some time to bloom, so give it about an hour before reapplying if you want to emphasize the warmth.

“My creations are an invitation to choose the scent that suits you daily, because I like the idea that each woman and man can express a part of themselves through perfume.”
Maison Francis Kurkdjian was born in 2009 from the encounter between Francis Kurkdjian, a renowned perfumer with scores of successful creations to his name, and Marc Chaya, Co-founder and President of the fragrance house. At only 24, Francis Kurkdjian composed his first perfume, "Le Male" by Jean Paul Gaultier, an international best-seller and game-changer of its time. Instead of relying on a very promising start to his career, he decided, as a precursor, to explore new possibilities and give olfactory creation a new artistic dimension. In keeping with his visionary outlook, in 2001 he set up his tailor-made perfume workshop, against the general tendency of perfume democratization, while constantly putting his know-how and sensibility at the service of the greatest fashion designers (Rick Owens, Hedi Slimane, Riccardo Tisci, Alber Elbaz or John Galliano), as well as the most iconic houses (Dior, Guerlain or Saint-Laurent). From 2003, artists like Sophie Calle, Christian Rizzo or Sarkis called on him to compose his first olfactory compositions - the starting point of his quest to break down the boundaries between different fields and the senses. In 2008, he was named Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres.
