Jeremy actually said this in an interview: 'I was going to price it at 39€, but a friend told me that he was worth more than a 39€ fragrance, so I chose a higher price, because people just don't value cheap stuff'

I bought a bottle of kouros in 1986. I was in high school. It was so strong you had to try to do a half spray or you’d overtake an entire room. My parents made me store it in a plastic bag because it was taking over the house. Absolutely, nuclear.

Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) Kouros is a devastating masterpiece. I shook the nostrils of my elementary school classmates, dousing myself in it prior to the opening bell circa 82.

[@OfDenimAndLeather]

Kouros is an absolute masterpiece and I’ve never smelled anything even remotely similar. “Dirty” is an ok word to describe it but I wouldn’t mean it in the same way the word dirty means. Almost more like dangerous or intense, like it is not a “safe” or passive feeling fragrance. The worst fair thing you could say about it is that it’s top notes do smell similar to urinal cakes, and it was because of that I was afraid to actually apply it for a while after I got a sample. Definitely became my GOAT after wearing it for a few days though, and I definitely recommend trying it.

[@Adam-om9hu]

Idc what anyone says about Paco Rabanne Phantom. I smelled it on paper and I first didn't like it, but I pulled the trigger and bought it and I love it. I love the smell on me, in the air and so does my wife. I'm 34 and still works for me! Awesome smell. No complaints, one of my favorites out of my 60 bottle collection.

[@caseyw2213]

Honestly just tried a small last night and I thought it was pretty good. Not mind blowing but not terrible as the reviews have said.

[@Cjakasiege]

It’s a safe scent for sure I’m trying to take a risk and blind but a scent haha

[@dylantroyer9842]

I agree, I thought it was okay off a tester, bought a small bottle and now I find myself reaching for it more and more often. Getting compliments as well and it is really pretty versatile.

[@bunsenn5064]

I’ve tried it, and it’s alright. Nothing that really sticks out to me enough to buy, though.

[@classicalgrooming]

I don't get anything "fecal" from Kouros. I get flowers, honey, and a wonderful mix of clean and dirty musks. It's great!

[@FSVR54]

I'm so tired of "fecal" in the frag community. Those people just have bad noses. Nobody WANTS to smell like feces and Kouros is loved by many

I bought my first bottle of Kouros when I turned 21. I can’t get enough of it. I ran through a 50ml bottle of this beast in just over a month! I need to get another bottle. The stuff is strong and very clean. Personally I prefer Chanel’s Antaeus though. It’s cleaner and more wearable.

[@MrPanLidTV]

I really like the fact that you say who should wear the fragrance at the end, I think this is something that many fragrance youtubers are missing and it makes buying fragrances a lot easier.

[@SchoolOfScent]

Thank you for the feedback Alex, I’ll keep it in!

[@MagicWinterNights]

I love Kouros, I personally spray on my "home chill" days... one spray to the chest under the shirt, enough for one day, great stuff. This stuff is a massage to my nose, done by a great masseur that has very strong hands, you relax but you never forget they are there.

@@MrCliteatswood Thanks, corrected!

I also would like to say that if you're smelling fecal and urinary cake out of Kouros, you should stop blaming the fragrance, perhaps the problem is you and there are easy fixes that are great for you healthy too

[@ThundaAaAaAaAaAh]

I brought it to a party and everyone hated it, it does smell of toilet because they probably share same smell notes.

[@MagicWinterNights]

@@ThundaAaAaAaAaAh definitely not for everybody, if you want to be a party pleaser there are better options, you would hear it for you, and you only. If anybody else enjoys it, then it means the perfume has done a great job at finding someone else that is as bold as you are :) I'd rather be bold and have my own personality hearing Kouros, than be a party please with Sauvage and small like the party's girl ex-boyfriend...

[@jakobeisl7569]

I can agree with most of what was said in this video, but dolce & Gabbana K is definitely not deserving so much hate. It is a unique fragrance and the compliment factor is definitely there. So I can recommend this fragrance in any case - don't know what people hate so much about it.

[@HeavenlyDemon592]

It depends.... Jeremy literally looked like he told Alberto morillas he wants office to smell like aventus n sauvage... basically get me as much money as possible....Demi went to possibly the most unnecessarily expensive niche brand to Collab with.... whatever your motives are ...it will tell from your product...the level of engagement in the conception of the fragrance is the only thing that validates KZbinr having their own fragrances....other than that it's just business....n u can do business it's a free world, your product will speak for itself

The original Kouros was the greatest scent ever made - and lasted for years, literally years - my clothes smelled of it forever. It's the only fragrance I ever had that made 3 women come up to me in the street and outright ask me for sex. Hard to get a good bottle now.

My respect for you grows exponentially every time I watch your reviews. Giving Kouros 10/10 is precisely right. I cannot take any frag head seriously enough if they do not at least understand Kouros. Kouros is a modern perfumery god. Thank you for giving Kouros the respect it deserves.

[@cocktailzombie]

I have 2 bottles of the original kouros and 1 of the modern version. The old one is dirty but beautiful honeyed musk and is really nice and demolishes the new version which i plan to sell as i will never wear. However i dont have the balls to wear any version of kouros out in public so its wore purely for myself while i play video games or lay around the house. Also to anyone who has read this far and likes kouros the summer versions like tattoo and tonique are great and very wearable they retain kouros's soul but loose the murderous intent of the original.

Phantom does not smell a little feminine. Even if it does, girls will love that. They love those sweeter masculine scents. Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t wear what makes you feel good.

That rating on Office for Men is criminal. Say what you want about Jeremy but it was a great blue style fragrance by Alberto Morillas imo. I don't agree with the asking price unless discounted.

[@TheMirabillis]

I love Kouros. My bottle is about 3 - 4 years old. Basically, it is a White Musk ( the same as Tabac, which I also love ). A Barbershop Scent.

[@ianjacob4087]

Tabac is nice but weak

[@asparceproton1]

The opening of Kalan is as harsh with pepper as Mancera Red Tobacco is with tobacco. It’s like a palm strike to the nose. As good as it could be when it dries down, the opening turns me off to the rest of it.

Please review Etat Libre d'Orange's Secretions Magnifiques in a video like this. Its Fragrantica score is lower than everything you reviewed here, too.

[@fatcheese8088]

Kouros is a straight 10/10, not only do I own like 4 bottles of it but I hopefully will always wear it, I love it so much and the modern formula still blows away a good bunch of todays fragrances. I even get compliments for it regularly and I don’t even care if I please people or not, I think it’s just when you pull it off with enough confidence you can wear it and people will like it

Office is actually my most complimented fragrance after ADG Profumo and Sauvage (I have alot of fragrances) They tell me that I smell really nice. I live in the eastern side of the Netherlands near Germany and I do know that in this area and most of Germany Girls like fresh and clean fragrances, the further I go south in Europe > France sweet and flowery (Ambre Nuit), Spain more sweet and cinnamon. (one million, Halloween etc) It's all about the region/area you are and the ethnicity you are trying to approach, different cultures different preferences ;)

[@thegrandadmiral6185]

Office for men is a brillant synthetic fragrance. Its long lasting, bold enough to an office and its premuim ingredients (no discussion about it). And hey its made by Alberto Morillas, this man have high standarts. Its competitive with la nuit de l'homme YSL and dior sauvage. But needed indeed to be lowered in price like 140 $ .

[@cheesychester9647]

Congrats on your upcoming release! I think ALL fragrances that are put out is good, if that's more small niche brands, clone companies, or KZbinr collaborations as well, gives us more fantastic options and keeps the pressure on brands like Creed and some designers who keep reformulating for the worst while bringing their prices higher and higher.

[@daniellabuda7744]

Very nice video Omar. In my opinion YSL Kouros is really well blended and this is a beautiful piece of classic oriental French perfumery. I am drawn to this style, so I value this very much, ignoring the fact that I'm surprisingly 20 years old young guy. K EDT by Dolce and Gabbana is a linear nice ambroxan fruity scent as well, nothing more nothing less, just clean sweet and really nice perfume done really well together with fruit molecules, it's slightly powdery to my nose, just fine. I am waiting with patience for your formulation Bro, Cheers!

I like Kouros. I have the Current Formulation. it's like Green and it's got some smokiness and it's clean. I like that it kind of reminds me of a time when Fragrances weren't all about Sweetness. I really wanted to try Fragrance One but I never did. I liked the Minimalist look of the Bottles and the Naming Conventions Jeremy used but to me it was far too expensive.

[@hklmvm01]

Kouros rules....... I bought Phantom just for the bottle. I don't like the smell but why hate it? King is not great but also not bad. I got it as a gift. I don't wear it often. I would rather expect PP No Limits in such a list. But I love PP NL.......

[@michaelitaliano6501]

[@JMontaine]

Might be a hot take and it’s not a hill I would die on, but I can see how people would be skeptical about KZbinr fragrances. If you are passionate about your niche, why wouldn’t you go study it at a high level and go work in the field? I’m not sure passion is the added value from professional perfumers to KZbinrs. Then there’s the concern that a KZbinr might simply want to gain a quick buck off their audience, especially if they have a large following, with minimal effort. This happens a lot with books or merch as well. The aspect I’d be most concerned about is legal & safety compliance, given you’re working with lots of chemicals which requires specific knowledge. Not saying any of those arguments apply to you though. I love your videos and would definitely try your fragrance given the chance!

[@Lachtharr]

Pumped for Mr. Fragrant! Hope to get it here in Canada

[@glyde69]

My quick thoughts. Some older 80s style scents hold up and smell good in their retro way, and some like Kouros are GROSS. Office for Men is a killer. Long lasting, performs, smells great, simple but nice. Like u said, price held it back from being a superstar. Kalan my first couple wearings I said ewww this is gross. Now I love it. Absolutely love it. Minuit Demi is what u said. Very pleasant but weak and not worth price tag Phantom is gross. This was two sprays off a sample and in the garbage. K EDT, I like. Solid little mainstream frag. Unique in its own way while being mass appealing.

I don't know why a youtuber can't sell a fragance and a designer can. Designers aren't perfumers, most of the time they just put their name in perfumes made by professional perfumers and manufactured by other companies. Not to mention that designer brands are just names put into companies, sometimes by people dead a long time agó, like Chanel, Versace, Moschino etc. Then why a youtuber or influencer can't do the same. On the other hand, they can be critiziced if their product is overpriced, or bad quality, although the hate people making stuff in internet receive is usually way too much. I like Jeremy Fragance but I'd never spend 200 € in a perfume bottle, any brand.

I think if a youtuber puts out a good fragrance it would be ok, but I think after what Jeremy did with his it will be an uphill battle for them, but if you put out one that is good with some longevity people wouldn't have a problem with it. also I think it needs to be in a big box so we can smell it not just sold online and have to take other youtubers response to it.

[@jward3961]

I don't have a issue with youtuber fragrances. I do have a issue with youtubers coming out with a fragrance and thinking that their name has enough cache etc they can charge more than top designer prices 😆 The only one I could possibly see spending more money on is Demis but only because her collab was made by a luxury niche brand so it's a combination of her tastes and name and their swagger. But some say it's weak so maybe not even it. Mr Smelly's I would buy it's not done through that Co navitus and his is ok on price.

[@mz_bi]

Why though? Why do you think just because they are KZbinrs they can't charge what they think their creation is worthy of? Its just wrong this myopic way of thinking.

[@jward3961]

@@mz_bi that's the way markets work. They can charge whatever they want. Doesn't mean people will purchase it. You have to have one of 3 things or combination to charge higher than market average for a product. 1 Quality or ingredients that surpasses the market average. That they don't. 2 A uniqueness of a product that no other product has in that space. That they don't. 3 A name that is associated with a certain level of luxury in that space. That they also don't have. To use a market example Lexus cars has #1, Tesla has #2, Mercedes has #3. Kia has none of the needed attributes so it sells for average. If next year Motor Trend magazine decided we are great car enthusiasts with lots of subscribers we are going to make a Motor Trend car. They collaborate with Kia or hire a Kia Engineer and build a nice car that is average. As good as a Nissan Toyota Ford etc. Then say we believe because we are Motortrend we are going to price this car equal to or higher than a Lexus,Benz, or Tesla. We think it's worth it. Their business would not last long and would not sell many because they don't have any of the three requirements to demand a higher price. Their name while synonymous with automobile enthusiasts does not equate to Luxury Automobile. The only way to buck that is to work with a Luxury Company playing off of their clout and create their Motortrend car. So like a MotorTrend Bentley. Which is kind of what Demi did working with an established Luxury Brand.

KZbinrs that make their own fragrances actually don't understand the difference between reviewing a fragrance and creating a fragrance. You see them with no education in this area but still they pretend to be experts. The same way students go on Wikipedia and do copy paste, the same way a lot of reviewers go to fragrantica. It's a big difference between creating a masterpiece and "this is what I like and I want"

Because there are many nishe perfumes whose fragrances do not fit their price at all, unlike the Office For Man perfume that you can get at a discount ranging between 66-80 euros .. For me it is a wonderful perfume :. Thank you for this review 🌺

I owned office and was repulsed at what garbage that was. Also it wasn’t strong either it was very average performing. Date was really good but too sweet. Kalan imo is good. Phantom is bad ass

[@alvaromate8366]

Nice video. Very original.

[@All_True_Especially_The_Lies]

Kouros is definitely a masterpiece.

I don't understand how anyone can say phantom is a mass appealing fragrance. To me it smells almost rancid. like someone made a cocktail drink and left it in a hot car for a month. Fucking awful.

I love Kalan is 👌👍 fragrance.

Jo Malone pomegranate noir is the the worst cologne I bought and I regret buying it

Why is there a audio issue with this video? I can't hear a thing

[@SchoolOfScent]

All working on my end?

[@ZZ-vl5nd]

@@SchoolOfScent OK. I know why. I downloaded the video on KZbin premium to watch it later and when I played it, it had no audio. But, when I deleted it and streamed it directly from the app, now it works. Hope this helps in the future.

I bought a bottle of Kouros last year. I sprayed it on my skin and it was disgusting. 🤢 🤮

[@popeye5274]

Kouros is the scent of the 80’s!

Jeremy made millions (!) with office despite all the fragrantica hate. some of the ratings on fragrantica are a joke. F*cking Fabulous 3.79. seriously? On the other hand: Warm Black by Zara is 4.15. and the reviews praise it as a great Tobacco Vanille clone which it is not. it is a synthetic mess for 5.99€.
