About this fragrance

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

Kouros Tattoo (2007) is a flanker to the original Kouros, but it takes a lighter, more aquatic direction. The top notes of bergamot, neroli, and mandarin orange deliver a bright, citrus-forward opening that is fresh and slightly bitter. As it settles, the base of musk, cedar, and incense emerges, providing a woody, musky foundation with a subtle smoky and powdery facet. The overall composition is woody aquatic, with citrus dominating throughout.

This fragrance suits collectors who appreciate a modern, cleaner interpretation of the Kouros lineage. It is versatile for daytime wear, especially in warmer weather, and works well for casual or office settings. The musk and incense in the base add depth without heaviness, making it accessible for those who find the original Kouros too bold. For those seeking a discontinued piece of Yves Saint Laurent's masculine lineup, Kouros Tattoo offers a distinct, wearable option.

中文簡介

Kouros Tattoo(2007)係 Kouros 系列嘅清新變奏,以木質水生調為基底。前調由佛手柑、橙花同橘子組成,散發明亮而微苦嘅柑橘香氣;基調則以麝香、雪松同乳香收結,帶來木質、麝香同淡淡煙燻感。整體以柑橘為主導,木質同麝香貫穿其中,粉感同琥珀氣息若隱若現。

呢支香水適合鍾意原版 Kouros 但想要更輕盈、更易駕馭嘅收藏家。佢適合日間使用,尤其喺和暖天氣,返工或休閒場合都勝任有餘。基調嘅麝香同乳香增添深度但唔會過重,對於覺得原版太霸道嘅人嚟講,係一個唔錯嘅選擇。作為 YSL 男士系列中已停產嘅一員,Kouros Tattoo 值得收藏。
