”I had been fascinated by the blue of the sea, the sky, the intense freshness which emanated from this universe dedicated to beauty. At the same time, I saw the statues of these young men who are the splendor of Greek statuary… I had my new perfume. And its name.”
– Yves Saint Laurent

I re-iterated a visual identity and concept for the iconic YSL perfume KOUROS – Scent of Gods created by perfumier Pierre Bourdin and Yves Saint Laurent in 1981. Creating a quintessentially masculine coded perfume, YSL drew his inspiration from the divine realm and of ancient statues depicting young masculine beauty. Kouros translated to godlike / ideal men in greek. Notes include aldehyde, bergamot, tonka bean, musk, amber, vetiver, vanilla, cilantro and patchouli.
Who would Kouros embody today?
In my iteration he is a freespirited clubkid in contemporary Berghain.
The blend of greek geometry with a contemporary and black latex-like texture creates friction between the aesthetics. Classic geometries from greek art meet futuristic typography and design. Mixed media of 3D rendering and physical packaging design.
