The story behind the bottle.
Kouros Eau de Sport by Yves Saint Laurent was launched in 1986, bringing together the brand's signature elegance with an aromatic and woody composition that exudes a sense of sporty sophistication. The fragrance opens with herbal notes and artemisia, creating a fresh green aroma that transitions into carnation, jasmine, and rose, adding warmth and floral complexity. Patchouli, vetiver, and oakmoss ground the scent with earthy tones, while musk and vanilla lend it an invitingly warm finish.
Apply Kouros Eau de Sport with two sprays to ensure its aromatic opening notes have time to blend into the warmer base. The herbal and floral heart will bloom over an hour, making it ideal for daytime wear when you want a fragrance that evolves throughout the day.
