Launched in 1993 by Yves Saint Laurent, Kouros Fraicheur is a Woody Chypre fragrance for men that balances freshness and warmth. The composition opens with the zesty brightness of bergamot and coriander, followed by the delicate sweetness of pineapple and orange blossom. Sage and clove add an earthy-spicy contrast to the heart, while patchouli and vetiver anchor the base with their rich, grounding presence. Kouros Fraicheur is a proof of Yves Saint Laurent's enduring elegance, blending modern freshness with lasting woody notes.

Application Tips
Apply Kouros Fraicheur with two sprays for balanced projection. The fresh top notes are bright but fade within an hour, so rely on the rich base notes to carry you through the day. This fragrance reads better close to skin than across a room.
