Description
The story behind this fragrance
Kouros opens with a sharp, herbal brightness—artemisia and sage cut through warm spice and bergamot, aldehydes lending a crisp, almost metallic shimmer. The heart softens into carnation and lavender, grounded by vetiver and orris root, with cinnamon and geranium adding warmth and slight sweetness. As it settles, leather and oakmoss emerge, anchored by amber, tonka bean, and honey, while musk and civet deepen the skin-close finish into something animalic yet honeyed, intimate and enduring.
