Young Man French Surfeur by IKKS: head for the Atlantic coast! While it is very common for adult men and women to wear fragrance, this everyday gesture is much less widespread among children. Yet IKKS did not hesitate to embark on this adventure. Since 2003, this playful and creative house has been intoxicating us with its fresh scents for boys and girls alike.
IKKS is a clothing label that was born in 1987. Of French origin, it immediately positioned itself in a sector where there were still few luxury players. Its distinctive feature? The design of high-end clothing for children! Since then, IKKS has even expanded its scope of activity, also crafting fragrances for the young public. This is how the masculine fragrance Young Man French Surfeur by IKKS was born in 2022. Here is our review

Young Man French Surfeur, a newcomer to IKKS's travel collection
Young Man Français Surfeur by IKKS is a fragrance that speaks to us of travel and encourages free-spirited young boys to turn toward the ocean. It thus completes the long collection of children’s fragrances by IKKS, often fond of adventure and intended for budding wanderers! Recall that in 2016, IKKS presented Young Man Brasil, followed by Young Man Green Arizona in 2018. This time, the destination is much closer to home, more precisely in Biarritz. At a time when the French are once again largely turning to France for their vacations, IKKS is entirely in step with the times!
Young Man Français Surfeur by IKKS, a more respectful and responsible fragrance
Another current trend: favoring the use of rigorously selected raw materials that are respectful of the body and the environment. Here again, IKKS has fully grasped this and fits entirely within this approach. Its masculine fragrance Young Man Français Surfeur is composed of 96.4% ingredients of natural origin. At the same time, this makes it an excellent choice for the fragile constitution and sensitive skin of the youngest wearers. This is therefore a compelling argument in favor of this fragrance.
IKKS presents its bottle in a playful way
To immerse us in a childlike, offbeat world, the house of IKKS has clearly relied on its packaging. Young Man Français Surfeur by IKKS is not presented in a classic cardboard box. It takes the form of a small milk bottle. This gives it a more playful style. What is more, to match its oceanic message, the box of Young Man Français Surfeur is decorated with inscriptions in a very “surfer” style. The turquoise gradient running throughout, for its part, gives this fragrance a very summery look. One could almost believe it to be the clear water of a translucent lagoon.
The tangy, fresh formula of Young Man Français Surfeur by IKKS
Finally, Young Man Français Surfeur by IKKS also charms with its fresh, fruity scent. It is an infinitely energizing, sun-kissed fragrance, opening with a blend of citrus fruits, before evolving toward a fruitier heart of green apple. Star anise and cardamom further tickle the whole and give it an additional touch of pep. Finally, Young Man Français Surfeur by IKKS ends with a woody, mineral concentrate of amber, sandalwood, and musk.
