It is just me or is this really similar to B*Men by Thierry Mugler? Sweet, spicy, vanilla-scented - I like it a lot. I think this is a little more subtle than B*Men.

as for me, it is a scent for women, too :) especially when the sky is cloudy, the mood is gloomy... it rises my internal sunny :) I used to smell my father's perfume (behind his back, of course:))) about 15 years ago, wonder if that BK was first edition? (I was surprised to read "2000" above).

well... let's get finished.
my verdict is: BK is really warm, nice, friendly and cozy. and the presence of eucalyptus is rather what I need.

If JPG's Fleur de le Male got into bed with Chanel's Egoiste (mace?), they would create Body Kouros. Absolutely scrumptuous Fresh Woody Oriental. However, the middle notes seem missing-goes from a yummy top to a soft, powdery base with just a fleeting glimpse of a heart. A little flat in the way that M7 is. The official notes seem to exclude any floral notes, which are surely there-maybe Orange Blossom like the le Male series? Anybody know?

BTW, I am a 42 y/o woman who wears some men's, such as M7, le Male and Fleur de le Male, & Egoiste. Shocked that this very affordable and forgotten scent made my short list within moments of application.

I had to give my bottle way. It captured me with the name Kouros, but it ended there. The herbal notes are there. To me, it is medicinal, woodsy, country and like a muscle rubdown lotion after a long workout. This is not the dressy, urban cousin I so love. Its fine for casual days, that are not rushed. It must mave an audience, or YSL would discontinue it. If this work for you, go for it! It still bears the name Kouros. How can you go wrong?

Spicy, warm and masculine. This is how a sexy man should smell like.

This one was disappointing for me. I bought it blind in Honkkong Duty Free Shop after reading really good reviews. Honestly I'd been trying to convince myself to this fragrance but I failed. It was just too sweet, too one-dimensional, too much eucaliptus and benzoin. It is just not my cup of tea although I like different smells. This is next Annick's Menardo work I don't like (the another one is Lolita Lempicka). I can bear Azzaro Visit only because the sweetnes is broken by spices there. But Body Kouros is not for me.

I have it and enjoy wear it. despite the fact that it is known as fragrance for fit guys, I find it more appropriate for cold days.

I always thought this fragrance too domineering and overtly sexual, but I can't help but say that you cant ignore this hyper-masculine and extremely hypnotic fragrance.

I love the original KOUROS for what it is, but this flanker just grabs hold of your senses and doesn't let it go for a moment; it's spellbinding!

It's a sad thing that because most people don't wear enough fragrance or none at all or even as an afterthought, that beautiful perfumes like this are tossed aside and considered 'too overpowering'; but not for anyone who is daring enough and passionate about what Life and living is all about.

This fragrance is not for the faint-hearted, conservative and shy man - it's for real men who know what they want and not afraid to stand out in a crowd.

I believe it has no distinct target age-group (even though the marketing is blatantly masculine and youthful) but I do know that more mature men (I'm nearly 50, not physically body-image conscious, and I love it) should wear it as a bold statement of their sexuality and existence as men of all ages should be.

Excellent fragrance. Full of passion, strength & energy. Long lasting...

To me, the base note is really similar to La Male with that sweet dry vanilla ( or caramel? ). I love this modern sexy manly sweet. Body Kouros has a great longervity, a great bottle, a great scent, and a really reasonable price. You should have it!
