Description

Yves Saint Laurent will enrich their collection of fragrances with a new limited summer edition Kouros Eau de Toilette Tonique presented in spring 2011. The new summer version of the classic Kouros edition is refreshed with citruses and seaweed and celebrates Greek motifs that can be found on flacons and on outer cartons as decorations.

The new edition Kouros Eau de Toilette Tonique opens with fresh and luminous accords for an energetic beginning of the composition. A heart offers characteristic marine notes that confirm this is a summer edition ideal for high temperatures. A base is a combination of woody notes and patchouli with a bit of mystery provided by incense.

Top notes: bergamot, lemon

Heart: marine notes

Base: patchouli, woody notes, incense

The fragrance is available in a light blue glass flacon with Greek motifs, packed in a white outer carton with blue contours of the fragrance. This is a limited edition. The flacon contains 100ml EDT – Kouros Eau de Toilette Tonique and can be obtained for 56 EUR. The fragrance can be expected on the market in May 2011.

    I’m not sure if I have the 2011 version or not. The bottle I have looks identical to the picture here but my box is different. Maybe I have the 2010.
    Upon applying I get an almost unisex appropriate fresh aquatic. I’ve tried several Kouros flankers and my first thought with this was that it had the least of the Kouros DNA in it of them all.
    Then about 45 minutes in the aquatic top died down and out of the waters arose King Kouros. I was quite surprised the first time I wore this. It still doesn’t have the strength of the original of course, it resembles Kouros Sport with a bit of the aquatic portion remaining for the remainder.
    Thumbs up for me.

    Kouros Tonique 2011….
    I’m going to be honest here, this one is quite underwhelming. I wanted it to have more Kouros DNA, I wanted it to be soapy and have a classic vibe like Kouros.
    This is nothing more than a modern cirtus-aquatic that has little to nothing to do with Kouros. I struggle to find any similarities.
    It dose smell good and fresh and I would prefer it to many other Kouros flankers (Body, and Silver) but there are plenty of better fragrances to wear in the heat.

    There are two Kouros Tonique here, and I think mine is this. I just bought the original and current Kouros, and it has been said that is a new formulation. It must be because I don’t find the traditional cloying, overbearing, nor stinky. Having said that, this Tonique is on me more potent than the new formulation of the original, which I like more. It’s hard to do a flanker of a classic, with few exceptions. I tried Polo Modern Reserve and I prefer the original Polo; I Know Azzaro pour Homme and tried the flankers L’Eau and Summer, and I still prefer the original; and now I got the Kouros and prefer it over the flanker. Tonique lacks substance. It’s not transparend, mild or water bath, but a “less scent” compared to Kouros. Since the new formulation has nothing to do stinking bomb I always read everywhere, I prefer it over this flanker.

    I ordered Kouros online but got this instead so I sent it back after sniffing it. The animalic smell is very pronounced here, like a goat’s a**hole, while in the original it just smells like human hair or cat fur. It’s also dominated with sharp and crisp, nostril piercing citrus, while the original is high quality musk.

    Kouros for summer, yes it is possible, it is not a dream! For anyone who loves classic Kouros, but think very loaded onto a sunny afternoon (no possibility to use it in the summer). At first nothing resembles the traditional softening but when he goes, there is the musky background and traditional incense!
    It is an alternative for those seeking a refreshing scent for summer, but with personality …

    I totally agree with bp, this is the best male perfume. It is really excellent. I love this perfume. Does not look like the traditional Kouros, and notes of incense, wonderful. Fixing and extreme sillage. It’s my favorite from over 800 that I have. There is almost no difference between this and the 2010 version, only grade incense. Are very similar.

    I may be crazy, but it reminds me more diluted Versace L’Homme! I do not feel notes seawater.

    Disaster, why name it Kouros??? No relation between the perfect King and this shy approach to the marine- fu%&(ng scents. 2/10

    I love deep, dark , sweetie ladies fragances but in a hot summer day I use man’s frags and Kouros Tonique is perfect. I like the lemon, woody , patcholi and frankincese notes in it. I always get compliments from my girl friends, and I keep it secret never tell then its a man perfume. 😉

    Tried today, was a bit confused as to whether this was the summer 2010 edition, 2011 or was just a lighter version – the sales ticket stated it as being “limited edition”. I love the raw power and sultry intensity of the original, that said, the intensity makes it unsuitable for every day wear in my opinion. Contrast that with the toned down, but still gloriously unmistakeable ‘Kouros qualities’ of this particular edition and you’re onto a winner. More accessible, without losing the essence of what makes Kouros great – it’s uniqueness. A future purchase for sure.

    EXCELLENT. The best men’s perfume for the summer of 2011.

    Another blind buy to regret. The marine note hits me in the pit of the stomach. The rest is unmistakably Kouros, but watered down. Sea-watered down. It shares this, for me, disagreeable note with Live Jazz, if I’m not mistaken. I think I’m going to sell it to a colleague.

    What’s the difference between this and the 2010 edition?
    The bottle is EXACTLY the same!!!

    I’m going to HAVE to get my hands on this when it “drops”. Does anyone have the official release date?
