The story behind the bottle.
Kouros Energizing 2010 by Yves Saint Laurent was launched in 2010 as part of the brand's limited collector's edition series. This Woody Aquatic fragrance for men opens with fresh, zesty citrus notes and a marine accord that evokes the crispness of a coastal breeze. The heart introduces aromatic herbs and leather, adding depth and warmth. As it settles into a woody base, a subtle animalic undertone emerges, grounding the composition in a rugged sensuality. Kouros Energizing 2010 is a blend of freshness and power, capturing the spirit of modernity within Yves Saint Laurent's heritage.
One generous spray is sufficient to capture the essence of this fragrance. The marine and citrus notes are bright but short-lived, so it's best applied just before heading out for the day. As the woody base emerges after an hour, it provides a lasting warmth that complements both daytime and evening activities.
