FAQs
How long does Kouros Eau De Toilette typically last on the skin?
Kouros Eau De Toilette generally lasts between 4 to 6 hours on the skin, though longevity can vary based on individual skin chemistry, climate, and application method.
What is the difference between Eau De Toilette (EDT) and Eau De Parfum (EDP)?
Eau De Toilette (EDT) has a lower concentration of fragrance oils (typically 5-15%) compared to Eau De Parfum (EDP), which usually has a concentration of 15-20%. This means EDPs are generally more intense and longer-lasting than EDTs.
Where should I apply Kouros for the best effect?
For optimal diffusion, apply Kouros to pulse points such as your wrists, neck, behind the ears, and inner elbows. The warmth from these areas helps to project the fragrance more effectively.
Is Kouros suitable for all seasons?
Due to its warm, spicy, and earthy notes, Kouros is often considered most suitable for cooler months like autumn and winter. However, its classic versatility allows it to be worn year-round, depending on personal preference and application intensity.
How should I store my Kouros bottle to ensure its longevity?
Store your Kouros bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and humidity. Keep the original cap securely fastened when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain the fragrance's integrity.
Troubleshooting
Scent fades too quickly
Ensure skin is moisturized before application, as fragrance adheres better to hydrated skin. Apply to pulse points (wrists, neck, behind ears) where body heat helps diffuse the scent. Consider reapplying lightly after 4-6 hours if extended wear is desired.
Scent is too strong or overpowering
Reduce the number of sprays. Start with one spray and gradually increase if needed. Alternatively, spray once into the air and walk through the mist for a lighter application.
Allergic reaction or skin irritation
Discontinue use immediately. Cleanse the affected area with mild soap and water. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional. Perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin before full application if you have known sensitivities.
Spray nozzle is clogged or not dispensing
Gently wipe the nozzle with a clean, damp cloth to remove any dried residue. If still clogged, try priming the pump several times by pressing it firmly until a consistent spray is achieved. Do not attempt to clear with sharp objects.
