About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Kouros Eau de Toilette Tonique (2011) is a limited edition of the 1981 original, composed by Pierre Bourdon. This aromatic fougère opens with aldehydes, coriander, and clary sage, leading to a heart of patchouli, carnation, vetiver, jasmine, geranium, orris root, cinnamon, and lavender. The base is a powerhouse of civet, musk, leather, honey, oakmoss, amber, tonka bean, and vanilla. The main accords are musky (100%), animalic (89%), aromatic (76%), powdery (72%), earthy (58%), and leather (56%). This is a bold, uncompromising scent that demands confidence. It suits collectors who appreciate classic, animalic fougères and want a piece of perfume history. Ideal for evening wear or cooler weather, it projects strongly and lasts. The Tonique version may offer a slightly fresher interpretation while retaining the original's character. For those who love vintage-style masculines, this is a must-try.
