Kouros Eau d'Ete 2005

Kouros Eau d'Ete 2005 cuts sharp and green at first—artemisia and mint clash with bright bergamot, herbaceous and almost medicinal. As it settles, jasmine softens the edges while rosemary keeps the herbal thread taut, creating something between a cologne and a cologne-adjacent cologne. The base emerges cool and woody: olibanum resinous and dry, cedar grounding, ambergris adding a barely-there warmth and skin-like depth. It's bracing, clean, and never quite settles into comfort.
