I was just deciding which perfume to wear today and y.t brought me here, so I decided I'll wear the 80's giant and for the festive occasion I'll use the Parigi bottle. Small quantity so as not to stun! You have described the characteristics very well, the initial opening will soon begin to vary with the constant presence of castoreum which gives it that wild, raw masculine imprint, which has now totally disappeared, Kouros was the epitome of the 80s, which began with the various Azzaro , Ted Lapidus Bogart, Quorum, Antaeus. In the mid 80's Balenciaga did something very close with Patchouly replacing castoreum But Kouros was the Boss
hey i got a kouros from foreverlux and it was not strong.smells like white soap and aldehydes.question is it common for the chrome sprayer button to come off easily?the sprayer has a plastic chrome cap that pops over sprayer also the chrome cover around sprayer comes off easy as they are just caps.whats the deal with the little QR code sticker that reads no usable data found?is it fake?
What's interesting is if you were around when Kouros hit the scene (I was a young teenager) it was the cologne to have. It was classy, had a pedigree, had no competition for its scent profile and it was expensive. It is what all the young men wanted; yes the young men in their 20s! Fast forward just a few short years and Kouros was still popular but guys were wanting something more "modern" going into the mid 80s. This is when the other "pissy" animalic fragrance released that all the young dudes had to have because it was the embodiment of the new 80s! That fragrance was BOSS (no No.1 in the name at that time) by Hugo Boss! It was the updated cologne that every 20 something had to have believe it or not! This era of men's fragrance was coming to a close but we just didn't know it. In a couple years colognes like Fahrenheit, Cool Water, Eternity would forever alter the landscape of men's fragrances and as they say, the rest is history!
I agree with Calvin Klein changing fragrances because young men and teenages now had something to wear that wasn't heavy. Thank you for the comment and for watching.
I wore Kouros when I was a senior in high school in 1987. I hadn't worn it since that time. Last year, I decided to buy the current version. It is not as good as it used to be, imo. The newer Kouros is more spicy, and it's not so animalic anymore. I'm ok with it, but I prefer the old stuff.

Thanks for the great comment.
Where can I sample Kouros?
Discounter can have testers as well as department stores.
"This is not for punks." I love that quote.
Thank you for watching.
I really love Kouros, in fact I think I will wear it today. Great review, as always.
Great to wear all the time.
Cheers J, nothing more to be said love it or hate it ,it’s king Kouros man and speaks for itself 🙏✌️👍
Thank you for watching.
Great review! I never looked at fragrances the same way since I smelled this….. the king …..
thank you!
Thank you for watching.
Does this have a soapy scent? I bought a closed bottles off EBAY and it smells soapy. Are there imatations out there? Batch code doesn’t exist
I have never found it to be too soapy. There are always imitations out there.
love kouros
ysl was better when they made their own frags as opposed to L'Oréal licence holders ysl frags
Things change and not always for the better.
I love this scent so good , I have a vintage bottle and a bottle about 10 years old
Very lucky to have a vintage bottle.

The authorized dealer for YSL in sri lanka said that this is the signature scent of out former president
Very interesting. He had great taste. Thank you for watching.
Mine is strong. What you are saying seems suspicious.
It does seem suspicious.
Great review. Are there any other heavy duty mega monster fragrances I can try?
Quorum, Antaeus By Chanel.

The vintage would be to powerful for today's crowd. People would be scared.
Thanks again for inspiration!
Thanks for watching.
Does this fragrance smell bad and stinky? I’m looking to get a very sexy and masculine cologne
This is an 80s scent so I don't think it is what you're looking for. Try and get a sample. Always try before you buy.
Masterpiece from the past 🏆❤ I like less the current version of Kouros! Cheers mate 🥂😀
Thanks for watching. Love this scent.
@@jerridpowley2709 you're welcome Bud 🙏 Kouros is never been paired since👌🤗
most of these old classics have been ruined by ifra laws
Agreed, a bygone era.
Salut à tous désolé je m'exprime en français, Kouros c'est un des rois de la parfumerie si tu aimes pas Kouros c'est que tu n'aimes pas le parfum 😅
Thank you for watching.
@@jerridpowley2709 de rien 😉 tu devrais faire une vidéo sur le Balenciaga pour homme 1990
This one I cannot find in Canada. One of the rarest fragrances.
