god d*mn you Kouros

Ahhh, the sweet smell of revenge.

I couldn't get it off my leg, which is where I sprayed the tester to "be on the safe side." Even though I put my leg under the chair later that day, it just kept hitting me, so I tried to wash it off with soap and water, but that didn't do anything either. But I felt I had to try it, after reading the reviews. I'd like to smell the sprayer of a bottle again and also to spray it on a piece of acid-free paper, but I can't imagine actually spraying it on myself.

LOL, that is really funny dude. I think Kouros is an acquired taste; I feel like the dry-down is really nice and almost has a soapy musk freshness to it, but the initial blast can, and in fact, has been, many times, described an pungent. The initial blast kind of smells very musky, but not horrible. With that said, I will not share my Kouros story as follows:

OK, when I was younger I used to love to go to museums, obsessed with dinosaurs, way before I decided to become a lawyer. Well, I used to go to this museum in New Haven, Connecticut called the "Peabody Museum" and it is basically a rather decent size museum with a lot of dinosaurs, Egyptian artifacts, birds, etc... They have this one section where you can lift up these lids and smell different scents, for example they have pure musk to smell, that whale vomit stuff whose names escapes me not but I remember my dad telling me that it was from a whale, and assorted varieties of other natural, and quite funky, ingredients used in making perfumes. Well, fast forward to several months from now and a wonderful BN, Thaifighter, sent me a sample of Kouros in the mail, I remember receiving it in my office and spraying one spritz on my wrist and it brought me back to that time at the Peabody museum when, for the first time ever at approx. the age of 6-7 I first smelled something "interesting." I had a really vivid flashback, I was almost shaken up from it. In any event, if anyone ever goes to the Peabody Museum in New Haven, CT then go to that part where you can sniff raw ingredients used to make perfumes because one of them, oh yes, smells spot on and exactly like Kouros. I was amazed how the smell of Kouros took me back to those wonderful memories at that great museum. Thanks Kouros and Thaifighter.**

* I will also post this in a thread as maybe someone has had this experience before.

Kouros is a monster. It'll keep you in line if start thinking wrong.

Your dad's "you smell old fashioned" extracted a "lol" over here. Could it be that you sprayed it on too thick?

Holy cow! Kouros probably killed the dinosaurs!

This spring I was in London and went to a play. During the play, a character gets ill and vomits into a basin. The others scurry around and clean up, etc. Then one of them got the bright idea to spray some cologne to take away the smell. She said, "here's some Kouros" and sprayed and sprayed. Well, I was in the fifth row and could see that it really was a bottle of Kouros. And 30 seconds later the scent hit me... and kept hitting me all night. Whew! Now THERE's sillage!
Cheers,

You dont wear Kouros, Kouros wears you

hahahahaaaa

hmm... I'm interested in attracting carnivore wimmenz... maybe this will be a good alternative to bathing in steaks.

Sounds like it smells like my old neighborhood in North Philly.

THAT.....is straight up disgusting man.......

I've never tried Kouros....and after reading this thread, no one had ever try trading me a sample of this rotted flesh,projectile vomited juice.

kouros is chuck norris bottled(it has a beard and will punch you in the face). Its ruff and gruff and wont take shit from anybody! ha ha...this one does not work for me either, i get a strong urinal cake plus musk and fecal notes that are just too much for me!

I love your description of the smell as a 'flowery fungus.'

I actually just bought a vintage mini of Kouros. Interested to see what it smells like.

Hmmm....might smell like meaty flowery fungus too?! Be sure to report back and tell us once you receive it, I'm interested with your reaction!

God help you Mike

Kouros is not only a Men's Fragrance but also an emergency substitute for Mace..

(kidding..I love the stuff!)

I spray kouros in my room when I want to demarcate my territory. Just like dogs and wolves do.

Damn,,,,,hahahaha

lmao, great thread.
