Body Kouros is a fragrance from the French house Yves Saint Laurent, composed by Annick Menardo and released in 2000. People describe it as equally green, woody, fresh, resinous and amber.

Incense and eucalyptus open with an unusual combination: the smoky, resinous haze of incense and the cool, medicinal freshness of eucalyptus. The heart brings clary sage, which adds a herbal, slightly musky note, and Chinese cedar, which gives a dry, smooth woodiness. In the base, benzoin creates a sweet, balsamic warmth that softens the sharper notes.

About half of wearers find it long lasting, and most report moderate sillage, with some finding it strong. It is voted for autumn and winter and leans towards evenings. This masculine scent suits cooler weather and evenings out, and someone who likes distinctive incense-and-eucalyptus scents rather than conventional sweet or fresh ones.
