Kouros Cologne Sport

I had my eye on this one for a while since it's been in the range of $100 and finally I got it at almost half of that, and WOW I love it!. Actually I knew how it did smell because I got the aftershave balm a while ago thinking that I was going to get the cologne much easier, but well it is within my love fave's now, and I wore during a night out last Saturday and I could not resist to wear it today again. I got one compliment only today, but I don't care because I really like to smell it on me while I move around it just lingers nicely, It has a good longevity even after the next day (I could still smell it on Sunday after my night out. I would say it keeps the core of the initial Kouros, pretty much, but in a more subtle version, when you are a Kouros fan but you also want to enjoy it in a warmer weather without worries about not being pleasing to all. I am reviewing this one and I just noticed my new buddy "Oldspice" is just down below :-) Nice review there as well, lets keep it on.

A true underrated gem. This is basically Kouros but remove 90% of that “dirty” civet note and add some clean, natural white florals. Great citrus in the opening too, not overpowering. A much lighter easier to wear Kouros, which is still very distinctively Kouros and masculine, but tuned for the heat and summer. Not a modern “Sport” scent , even though it is called Cologne sport. Surprisingly good longevity especially on clothes. It’s an Eau de Cologne but it does last longer than many modern EdTs. If you like Kouros and want something for the summer that has that same feel to it this is it. If you do not like Kouros this one might be worth a try as it’s a lighter and probably not as controversial scent. It is still very unique though. Sadly long discontinued. Not to be confused with the Kouros Cologne Sport Eau d’été which is extremely similar looking but in a blue shade.

This is delicious! A very rare example of modified perfume which doesn't lack any uniqueness of the original creation. I always loved Kouros, but it was too strong and haunting for me. I desperately wanted something with the character of Kouros but not so dense, and when Cologne Sport appeared, I was finally happy. I believe, for many Kouros "distant admirers" this could be the perfect way of wearing this wonderful fragrance. It's like drinking great old cognac on the rocks with indian tonic - you still have the full taste and aroma of the spirit but you can enjoy it more easily, in a relaxed and comfortable way. It's quite sad that such a beautiful truly timeless creation is now discontinued, as long as it stays so dramatically ahead of modern Kouros versions developed by L'Oreal without any respect to the masterpiece of men's perfumery signed by YSL himself.

im a guy who wears mostly feminine scents, but when i want to smell manly and hot, i go for this over anything else i have . i still cant find something modern that even harkens to this . it reminds me heavy of the phat farm cologne (thats still not uploaded to fragrantica) . the atomizer is ridiculous . best for the gym/sporting, or going outdoors all day . or even if you want to impress someone important . it wears for hours on skin, heavy jasmine floral but unmistakably masculine with the heavy cedar, plus fleeting citron and undercover civet after a few wears i notice it does have that skin musky drydown its sporty in a 2003 way, very captain of the football team vibe . more aquatic than “fresh” cute find, can they make perfumes like this again? words that came to mind : water, floral, crisp, sexy, animalic, fresh spicy

★★★★1⁄2 If Kouros Fraicheur is the best retro flanker of Kouros (I prefer it over Eau De Sport) then this is the best modern flanker by far! This is very unique, sporty and alluring at the same time. There is one fragrance that is very similar though, and I am seriously suggesting you to try both on each hand and compare... *drum roll* The original formula of Tommy Hilfiger's Freedom for men is a brighter version of Kouros Cologne Sport! I love both, but this has more depth and the overall character is more elegant. Excellent modern sport fragrance, deserves a place in the modern sport fragrance hall of fame along with Dior Homme Sport (2008), Encre Noire Sport etc. Great lasting power and proper sillage for a sport fragrance. A solid compliment getter as well!

Very similar to the original Kouros, but not nearly as in your face. Although I haven't worn it for many years, I was never really comfortable wearing the original because it always provoked a "love it or hate it" type of response. This version however has a gentler, softer & much fresher feeling to it, so I wouldn't feel nearly as wary leaving the house with this on. Regardless of its gentler approach, this is still quite an intoxicating & daring fragrance. If you like the original Kouros but find it just too strong, I would heartily recommend this as a safer alternative.

clean. but not like the current cleans made almost entirely of iris or neroli. this reminds me of my father's classic green bar of soap. a light background of kouros. but this is really green palmolive soap. opens slightly citrusy. but then the citrus vanishes immediately. what a nice scent !! I don't know what cyclamen smells like. but jasmine certainly does and is present. to my nose no spice or cedar wood. 9/10 excellent performance.

Unlike Tattoo edition and some of the other flankers that put a slightly different spin on Kouros, this is more like Kouros Lite. I really enjoy this though. It's easier to wear than original Kouros but if you're not a fan of the original you're probably not going to like this one either. It's marked as an EDC but I get 8-12 hours longevity easily with two sprays.

So far , the best flanker of Kouros . Still haven’t tried Fraicheur since it’s really expensive even for a little 10ml on eBay . I get a soapy vibe from this, like an orange Dial liquid soap but refined . Wish it had a better performance! (About 3-5h) It’s a gorgeous toned down fresh version. Seems I’m getting this one next time !

The linear cyclamen cyclamen which gives it its singularity. A masculine floral to boot. For a cologne, this lasts a long time (7-10 hours), and projects fairly well as long as you're moving around. It possesses an animalic/musky quality but still manages to maintain an overall fresh appeal. Always on the look out for this one.

انها حكاية تحكيها لنفسك فقط حكاية لو سطرت بألوف الاحرف لن يفهم معناها سواك ..!! .. انت من عاش هذا الحلم انت من رأى ذاك الشعاع في السماء يرحل بعيداً .. و انت سعيد الحظ الذي حضي بلقائها اجنحة رفرفت بعيداً .. اجنحة بيضاء و ريشٌ ذهبيٍ ..!! .. انها ليست بشر .. كوروس كولون سبورت

WOW..........This scent is so fresh and really distinctive, it stands out as a complex composition and over time shows how multi layered it is and not just a big blast of alcohol. It starts off with that classic 'spicy' gentleman aroma in the background and then over time there are the introduction of bright florals and soft citrus notes making themselves known and raising it into something quite unique...... For a scent that's almost 20 years old, you wouldn't be surprised if this had PDM or Creed written on the bottle......it's a 'gentleman's' scent that just radiates a really nice sweet, grown up smell with a warm spice (almost amber) base I gave it a quick spry on my wrist, just to test it and to see if it was still OK......The production date is 2013!!!! I left it a second and gave it a quick sniff.......WOW!!!!.....it does make itself known Then, over the next 5 mins, this fragrance grew and grew until it was all I could smell...and what a lovely smell... I even got a compliment from the wife.....and that never happens How can this can scent (That's19 years old) last a full 8 hours, with a sillage that can be smelt from 4 feet away and still smell distinctive, clean and strong.....when my bottle of Dior Intense lasts 30 minutes. I see bottles selling on eBay.......but honestly, what a sent.....Someone need to get this one copied ASAP.

I don’t know how, but you can feel Kouros behind the soapiness — it’s a soapy Kouros. Meaning there’s that sporty vibe, but shown through the lens of Kouros’ DNA, and since Kouros has a DNA so unusually bold and emblematic of masculinity, the whole thing comes across as remarkably successful and almost archetypal for masculine perfumery. Sang Bleu was probably sweeter, even more floral — like a juice. It’s possible the modern Kouros is “more masculine” than Sang, but Sang was more nuanced and above all less synthetic — truly non-synthetic — and in that regard it felt simply like the better fragrance. The modern Kouros has, beneath the surface, that off-putting synthetic accord that gets in the way, especially when you keep in mind the context of scents like the original Kouros or Sang Bleu. Sport Cologne, in this respect, is a good solution because, although it has plenty of florals, it maintains a certain tougher, masculine guard that doesn’t feel synthetic. Someone once asked me whether Sang Bleu resembled Eau de Sport — I can now answer that if Eau de Sport resembles Cologne Sport enough, then yes, it does.

Finally purcashed Cologne Sport at low price :) Wow! This is GOOOOD! I mean, first the transparent bottle, it's looks so simple yet elegant and well designed. And then the juice. It's not agressive like the original Kouros but they share the same spirit, ultra-masculine and animalistic. The best part is that even it's a "cologne" the longevity is at least like that of an edt! It lingers all day and doesn't hurt any nose. Well, I'm not sure about the sportiness of the fragrance but at applying it feels minty so it's also refreshing. Absolutely recommened! Much better than Chanel Allure Cologne Sport.

It's exactly what I hoped it would be... a less strong KOUROS to wear around those who find the original far too bold. I rate the original KOUROS as one of my favorites, so this is like having an 'everyday car', while you have the 'muscle-car' in the garage for weekends. For an EDC, it lasts a while too. --------------------------------------------- SILLAGE: good LONGEVITY: very good (for a cologne) SCENT: excellent VALUE FOR MONEY: average OVERALL: 8/10 ---------------------------------------------

Impressive, alluring and fresh. Starts with an explosion of citruses ... joined by jasmine, cyclamen and spices. Unique, clean and inviting dry down with cedar and musk. Classic and modern elements ... the spirit of Kouros ... and powerful sillage ... a truly great scent!

Cedar and musk, rounded out by very subtle florals. A bit of citrus in the opening, but it goes away quickly. The musk sticks around ALL DAY. It's a good thing that it is quite a pleasant smell.

I agree with lovescully - a gentler but fresher Kouros alternative - it's an excellent EDT with good sillage and lasts quite a while.

A great scent to wear at work, interview and social events, especially on the days when you need confidence boost.

its ok take on kouros i kinda was not liking this one at first changed my mind nice fresh scent
