I am a fan of Orange Spice by Creed - however some people state that Kouros is very similar to it. I havent tried Kouros. Is there anyone else here who thinks that these two scents are similar?

They are both very heady and agressive scents, they both open with some pretty heavy adehyde or aromatic action (I can't decide which--maybe both). There might be a touch of pseudo citrus--bergamot if I remember correctly-- in Kouros opening--which would be vaguely reminiscent of the orange in Orange Spice. The civet and honey in Kouros's drydown might suggest the Creed basenotes. They have a similar potency in sillage. Those are the only similarities I see. After the first 4 minutes, Orange Spice continues to be a citric scent, staying fun and playful (for a Creed), while Kouros moves to deeper incense and leather tones and a darker ambiance.
