About this fragrance

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

Kouros Silver is a 1981 aromatic fougère for men, composed by Pierre Bourdon. The top unfolds 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 dense blend of civet, musk, leather, honey, oakmoss, amber, tonka bean, and vanilla. The main accords are musky, animalic, aromatic, powdery, earthy, and leathery, reflecting its classic, robust structure.

This is a collector's piece for those who appreciate vintage fougères with a pronounced animalic character. The musky and animalic facets dominate, supported by powdery and earthy nuances. It suits wearers who are confident with bold, traditional masculines and who seek a scent with historical significance. Ideal for cooler weather or evening wear, Kouros Silver offers a complex, layered experience that evolves from bright aromatic top notes to a rich, leathery base.
