WoodyWhat does Kouros Silver smell like?
Green apple gives the scent a bright, fruity crispness at the front, while sage adds a spicy, herbal note that keeps the sweetness in check. Woods form a dry base underneath, and the aquatic and synthetic accords keep the overall feel clean and modern.
Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. It reads masculine and modern. Its profile is close to Boss Bottled Infinite and Zeus pour Homme.
