Question:
I too bought Body Kouros blind in the last week. It wasn't as smoky/incensey as I hoped it would be. Its very sweet, candy like, yet fresh. It does stay close to the skin, which is surprisng given that Kouros stinks up the whole block. Definitely unique and long lasting. Still undecided...I put mine up for sale in my sale thread...hmmm.

Answer:
Anytime a thread on Body Kouros opens up, it only takes a day or two for the posts to accumulate to a second page. It's that good. I just got a huge decant recently and I need some time to warm up to the pungent eucalyptus notes. I've been spraying BK on about 2 hours before I head out, lol. But for drydown, I just can't get enough of it! It's good stuff. Makes me wanna head to the nearest Baskin Robbins and splurge on some sweet goodies.

Answer:
On me, it's a big sillage beast. I'm still recovering from the "6 sprays incident". Never again.
Two sprays tends to do the trick.

Two sprays tends to do the trick. Hmm. I can easly go with 4+ sprays of Body Kouros - and it doesn't get cloying at all!
Skin chemistry maybe?

Answer:
I also got BK recently. I think it smells a little like Le-Male, now I do not see much similarities but when I first tried it all I could think of is how much it smelt like Le-Male.
I have to agree with Deeablow, at first BK had major sillage but lately I can hardly detect it at times.
Does anyone else pick up Anise in top notes?

Answer:
I think an anise would smell terrible in cologne. good thing i can't detect it

Body Kouros was my #1 frag for a year, by far.
I have since went on a different path, and wear it rarely, but BK is the frag which really picks up my spirits.

Answer:
i dunno if it's just me but body kouros smells like a fainter version of lolita masculin (which i have).. i prefer lolita which is stronger. body kouros seems closer to the skin though

Answer:
this is one strange cologne...
I applied it at 10 AM and by 11 AM i couldn't smell anything...barely sweet smell if that. By 1 PM i couldn't smell a thing.
It's about 10 PM now..12 hours later, and am in my pajamas, and i'm catching whiffs of this stuff..amazing.
this is truly the most SUBTLE and LASTING scent i've smelt... something nice for night time with some friends or significant other by a fireplace.
I like it now!
