The company says: 

France, year 1981. Parisian tenement house in the morning. Pierre is counting down the minutes to the meeting with Simone. He drinks an exceptionally well-made espresso at the cafe. He's browsing Le Parisienne. The words in the article wander between his thoughts. He had been waiting a really long time to go to the cinema with her. They play "Le Professionnel" with Belmondo in the lead role. Now that he has used his favorite eau de toilette, he knows this evening will be lovely.

The perfume family: fougére, green, floral

This is a very good approximation of 1993’ish Kouros with a sprinkling of Polo Green on top. The opening is greener than Kouros, with Polo-like dirty tobacco the most prominent feature, but it then dries down almost identical to vintage Kouros.

I don’t need a full bottle of this as I have enough vintage Kouros in my cupboards to be considered a scent-felon by today’s standards - and Kouros is still better - but if you have trouble finding the real thing, you absolutely should give this a sniff. Thumbs up.
