Discontinued and increasingly hard to find sealed — Kouros Silver in the full 100ml format.
Launched in 2015 by Yves Saint Laurent as a fresh, modern reinterpretation of the legendary 1981 Kouros — one of the most iconic masculine fragrances in history — Kouros Silver was conceived as the summer-ready, cooler-weather counterpart to its famously polarising predecessor. Created by perfumers Michel Girard and Olivier Pescheux, it trades the original's bold animalic power for a cleaner, more contemporary woody aromatic direction. Now discontinued and growing noticeably scarcer in sealed condition, the full 100ml bottle is the format to have.
Housed in a striking silver metallic flacon inspired by YSL's world of fine accessories — radiating the vitality and light the house describes as fitting for a fragrance built for living gods — Kouros Silver is a sharp visual statement on the shelf as much as a wearable scent.
Opens with a crisp, sweet burst of green apple — fresh, slightly tart, and immediately modern. The heart develops into a clean aromatic accord of sage essence — cool, herbal, and distinctly masculine. The fragrance settles into a warm base of ambery woods and woody notes — smooth, sensual, and skin-close, leaving a quietly distinctive trail that lingers throughout the day.
Fragrance Profile
- Top Notes: Green Apple
- Heart Notes: Sage
- Base Notes: Amber, Woody Notes
An easy-wearing, crowd-friendly masculine that sits comfortably in the fresh woody aromatic space — wearable year-round with particular strength in spring and summer. Longevity is moderate at 5 to 6 hours with a sillage that opens confidently before settling skin-close. Straightforward, clean, and broadly appealing — and no longer being made.
