Comments:
95% same as ysl kouros . but quickly faded

I recently did a side-by-side test of The Man Silver and the current version of Kouros, the version you find in store.

I'll try and compare them to the original Kouros from my memory of the Kouros I had in the early 90s.

Opening:
The modern Kouros smells just like original Kouros, from memory at least. Very distinctive faithful to the original.
The Man Silver's opening is chaotic and you get everything at once. It smells similar to original Kouros, but the current version of genuine Kouros easily takes this round.

Dry down:
This is where things get interesting. The current Kouros dries down to something similar to original Kouros, but in my opinion is not close enough to earn the title 'Kouros'. It's not good enough.
The Man Silver, on the other hand, gets closer to the original Kouros. From memory at least, I would say that The Man Silver manages to achive parity with the original Kouros. Perhaps a few notes are different, but it's very close.

Summary:
Modern Kouros opens well, but its drydown is dissapointing if you liked the old Kouros. You might like it in its own right, but it's not like the original Kouros.
The Man Silver is alarming at first, but when it settles it's truer to the original Kouros.
And at a fraction of the price, The Man Silver is a no-brainer.

Verdict:
If you like Kouros, buy The Man Silver. It's a bargain.

This is very close to the original Kouros I remember from the 80s. VERY close.

A quick spray to the chest just before covering with a t-shirt or shirt and the old magic was there. Silver has nailed it. This is as close to vintage Kouros as you'll get.

Be careful - this stuff is STRONG and it's very easy to overdo it. One quick spray should be enough. It last for many hours.

I'd buy kuros in the 80s for my hubby! Who was my boyfriend at the time. It was expensive then but to expensive now for sure so just thought I'd give it a try! Smells just like it to me, we are very pleased.

Comments:
Smells like my dad's pipe collection. Truly awful.

Comments:
Very strong smell just like 90s version.

Comments:
old school smell like back in a nightclub in the late 1980s

I bought this because I love the smell of YSL Kouros. I must say this is a superb copy fragrance and smells exactly like the original but for a much less price tag. the smell last for hours and I can still smell it after 8 hours. I will be buying this for years to come.

great fragrance smells same if not better lasting than YSL kuros

This a clone of old-school Kouros. It has an animalic (some would say dirty) opening. It dries down to a clean and soapy scent, and becomes indistinguishable from the Kuoros available in the stores today. Longevity is an impressive 12 hours. It projects for about 3 hours or so and has a strong spillage. You only need 3 quick sprays of this (careful with the Milton Lloyd sprayer). You can pick this up for less than €5 if you shop around. This is must buy for Kuoros fans everywhere.

Did a review of it here:

This is amazing!! I bought Kouros as a teenager. This is as close and long lasting as you gonna get without spending £35.

Comments:
I have both this and the original. You cannot tell the difference between them. Milton Lloyd are some of the best copies you can get. Excellent.Five stars.

Comments:
Smells more like YSL jazz. Long lasting fragrance

Comments:
crap

Comments:
Absolutely nothing like Kouros Original.
Please don't waste your money buying this stuff thinking it smells anything like Kouros ( even though its cheap), because it doesn't. Its doesn't even smell like the updated Kouros in the white bottle

Comments:
This might just possibly be the WORST replica fragrance I have ever had. Although it isn't too bad a smell, my complaint, is that it is absolutely nothing like Kouros.I honestly don't know what they are playing at. If you like and want a replica of Kouros DON'T buy this!!!!!!!
