This is such an odd one. Original and bizarre perfumery that was common in the early 2000s. Medicinal, fresh, warm at the same time. I get flashbacks of Le Male, Bois d'argent, Bvlgari Black etc. I still don't know if I love it or I hate it.
I have come to the conclusion that I really like it. It's all those things you said but I don't have anything else like it. A Fantastic male fragrance, easily wearable by ladies, that showed the way male perfume was going to be heading over the next decade. Genius really
Had it like 20 years ago,just like this one. I can't remember the smell but I know it was awesomeness in the bottle. Today friend said he wanna sell full 2006 bottle. Not so expensive as I thought he'll ask for it. I'm gonna get it. I've decided.
Cheers Rich , picked up a first edition 50ml bottle a few months ago ,really like it ,as I do for the few fragrances that she created that’s on my collection, I do enjoy the Boss Bottled Elixirs she co perfumed this year but falling short to her past bangers ✌️🙏👍
I've said it many a time. Masterful use of benzoin in this one. Really hope that Menardo is as sweet as her perfumes. 😊 She looks so much like my cousin it's frightening. 😂 In a good way.
I remember asking if you liked BK on a stream, you said it's been a long time and that you'll maybe sell it but give it a wear before, and since then it's come back into your rotation, glad ! Do you prefer Bois d'argent to BK ? I assume so, but still curious.
@@RichMitch hah good to know! I saw one for sale at a local shop the other month and didn’t know if I should grab it. Ended up with Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin which I absolutely love.
i have this but not the vintage bottle, its lovely i agree with you, still cant beat the original kouros not that this is the same, do you have kouros silver too rich?
Bloody Body Kouros 😂 I have been in the fragrance for many years now been collecting for a long time still haven’t tried the original kouros and by the reviews I don’t think I’d like it. But great review here.
Absolutely, I can imagine this being pleasing to the average person in the street but it also has the quality and creativity to satisfy us collectors too. a rare beauty

Menardo is a genius. Some of my faves of hers are Bulgari Black, Armani Attitude, Hypnotic Poison and Amouage Overture Woman
She is absolutely a genius. This perfume kinda set us up for the 2000s metrosexual perfumes

@@Frank-DuxVanDamme nice!
This is a brilliant balance between hot and cold, with those syrupy resins and eucalyptus
Absolutely nailed it 👍🏻
Yes, i remember when this came out i had it . Amazing fragrance
Absolutely

Hard to keep reaching the heights she did, incredibly high standards
A true game changer it was body Kouros 👍 you're right about the current version it's pretty good 👍 great review mate😊 cheers 🥂😀
Absolutely mate 😁
@@RichMitch 😀👍
Rich Mitch-
Hey! Body Kouros is a great one.
I have it in my collection and I need to wear this one more often than I do.
Great review
Hello! Thank you, I need to wear it more too!
I surprisingly found the original presentation of this in the US. I then sold the newer one for the same reason. Also, vintage Opium or no Opium.
I think Anooj still has some in stock, I'm now considering a back up 🤦🏻♂️😂
Absolutely agree re opium, gotta be vintage
Always masterfully done duck. I thought this stuff was gewd I just never crave it like I crave duck content. 🍻🫂
You can't hold everything to that standard or you'll never love again! 😂
@@RichMitch truer words have never been spoken

Haha do you think a perfumer can start to look like their perfumes smell? 🤔
@@RichMitch You're thinking of Maurice aren't you. 🤣 I suppose anything is possible. With the right imagination.

Yes I prefer BDO over BK still
Speaking of Annick..have you ever tried Celine For Men? (2001)
Yea I have and it's absolutely awful, got a bottle and was wounded
@@RichMitch hah good to know! I saw one for sale at a local shop the other month and didn’t know if I should grab it. Ended up with Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin which I absolutely love.
@@patchoulipapi very well done imo. Dodged a raging bullet there mate

I don't have kouros silver, this and the original are the only ones I have!

You gotta smell it
@@RichMitch lol 😂 maybe one of these days I will sample it. I like old school stuff so you never know!
You sound happy 🦆😊

How does the white bottle smell? Do you like it?
White bottle? The original kouros?
@RichMitch Yes sir my bad
@@jts4248 yeah I like the vintage formula
@RichMitch I got to try it my friend has been telling me about it
This is the real, unexpected compliment getter. Im glad bros skipped over it
