The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2000 and crafted by Annick Ménardo, Body Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent is an Oriental Spicy fragrance that captures the essence of warmth and depth. Opening with a striking combination of eucalyptus and incense, it creates a smoky, aromatic tension before settling into woody and warm spicy accords. The heart features clary sage and benzoin, adding a subtle herbal and balsamic richness to the composition. This fragrance is a proof of Yves Saint Laurent’s legacy of elegant sophistication.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced experience. The smoky top notes are bright but fleeting, so allow it time to settle into its woody base. This fragrance is best worn in cooler weather when its warmth feels most comforting.
