Yves Saint Laurent Kouros Silver, from Yves Saint Laurent was released in 2015. The perfumer behind this creation is Michel Girard and Olivier Pescheux. It has the top notes of Apple, middle notes of Sage, and base notes of Amber and Woody Notes.
When will I ever learn? I blind bought this....foolishly. I was hoping it might resemble the original more than some had been stated in the (largely hateful) reviews below, or if it didn't perhaps it would even be a little like the summer cologne tonic...that would've been fine. I'm sorry fragranticans I didn't heed your warnings, I blind bought and not even at a particularly good price either. The opening is Apple (like) I suppose, but then descends into a kinda sage note and a powdered back drop of chemical Amber. This really is quite a bad fragrance. I had forgiven Dior for the recent Sauvage because it seemed like a focused and deliberate attempt to make something minimal based around Ambroxan. So many reviewers here have mentioned what Kouros Silver smells like and many of them are plain wrong. The closest fragrance to this by a mile is easily Paco Rabanne Invictus difference being this has less notes. I don't like it, it's not an awful smell but something about this, Invictus, and Versace Eros etc...turns my stomach. The performance is as I expected...INSANE. It lasts and lasts projecting heavily.
