Kouros Yves Saint Laurent 1981 Eau de Toilette
3
The 80's inside a bottle.
"KOUROS" ... images of past times in my mind. Top? In many aspects, yes, without a doubt.
1981 was his launch year, his perfumer Pierre Bourdon created a masterpiece that, without fear of mistaken, marked a time and was the queen with a capital letters, far away, far from the rest. Moreover, they have not yet managed to get it off the throne of it.
The 80's, time of straight and wide jeans with a large lap in the low, shoulder pads, great ties illustrated, worn leather jackets, stamped shirts, t-shirts with colorful geometric figures, well high white socks and visible to play sports. Time where a blow or scar was a war mark from which to feel proud.
In the musical, for me, his best moment. Start of electronic music inspired by the Disco of mid-70, the Hard Rock with Guns n'Roses or Bon Jovi, Heavy Metal and Iron Maiden, Judas Priest or Metallica and how not to mention Madonna and Michael Jackson, the best Pop.
And what about cinema? Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Gray in "Dirty Dancing", Michael J. Fox with "Back to The Future", Bastian trying to avoid the destruction of the kingdom of fantasy in "The Neverending Story" or Harrison Ford in a "Blade Runner" that curiously It places in 2019 very distant to what was later.
In the perfumistic section we find ourselves, too, in a golden age. When with four atomizations you could fill a room, leave your smell in the elevator, leaving this step and endure until the end of the day.
KOUROS is all that and much more inside a bottle. A fragrance that tries to exalt the true masculinity, one that differs totally from the current one (in my opinion "androgenized"). It is cleaning, much, soap touches seasoned from herbal / floral and animals tones, the latter especially present at their departure and throughout the first hour.
There are no average terms with her, beloved fragrance or hated. Although I have to say that in my circle, without saying what I have been and already in the dry drying a couple of hours, I have received on several occasions a "good smells". So that of "hated" I have not lived yet. Its overall performance is 10 even today with reformulation, although I am lucky to have a vintage version and that is already crazy.
Yes, it is a polarizing fragrance, from start to finish. It does not pretend to like everyone and it is not necessary to make it, it makes a time, personality and draws attention, with that enough.
Masterpiece, the 80's inside a bottle.
