by Yves Saint Laurent
Body Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent is a deeply sensual, slightly medicinal, and intensely sweet masculine fragrance with a linear progression. It opens with a sharp, green eucalyptus note that quickly mellows into a warm, balsamic core of benzoin and incense, creating a dreamlike, skin-hugging aura. The scent is characterized by its close proximity to the skin and subtle, lingering projection—never overwhelming, yet impossible to ignore when in close contact. The fragrance balances the sweetness of benzoin with the cool clarity of eucalyptus and the smoky depth of incense, resulting in a smooth, olfactive harmony that feels both modern and vintage. It is not bold or flamboyant, but its intimacy and quiet confidence make it unforgettable. This is a winter or night-time scent, perfectly suited for layered wear or intimate settings. It attracts attention not through volume but through its deeply personal, almost magnetic presence. While some describe it as overly sweet or synthetic, others find its beauty in its restrained elegance—like a whispered secret rather than a shout. It is ideal for those seeking a sophisticated, emotionally resonant scent that speaks of quiet masculinity, maturity, and complicated desire.
