Kouros Tattoo by Yves Saint Laurent was launched in 2007 and is a Woody Aquatic fragrance for men, crafted by perfumer Nathalie Feisthauer. The composition opens with bright bergamot and mandarin orange, creating an immediate freshness that's both invigorating and uplifting. As the scent evolves, incense adds a smoky warmth, while cedar and musk anchor the base notes in earthy depth. The balance between citrus brightness and woody richness makes this fragrance feel like a modern interpretation of YSL’s heritage.

The story behind the bottle.
The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives — where sharp citrus meets the subtle smokiness of incense and the grounding warmth of musk.
