Fragrance Description:

YVES SAINT LAURENT Kouros EDT, is famously known as the "King" of powerhouse fragrances, celebrated for its polarizing "clean-and-dirty" duality. It opens with a cold, blinding blast of aldehydes and clary sage, then quickly shifts into a warm, "skanky" heart of civet, musk, and oakmoss. Note the bottom layer of the bottle is missing, but this is a PPR-Gucci era bottle so the batch code is on the back of the bottle (see image).
