Zoologist King Cobra: A Fragrance That Bites

Zoologist Perfumes’ latest creation, King Cobra, is generating a lot of buzz, and for good reason. This fragrance is a powerful, complex scent that combines green, earthy, and spicy notes to create a bold and captivating experience. Drawing comparisons to Zoologist's Tyrannosaurus Rex, but focused more on the lush, animalic forest before the chaos of fire and smoke, King Cobra presents an immersive olfactory adventure.

Scent Profile

King Cobra opens with bright, tangy spices and a clean yet dirty essence—described as smelling like spiced soap intertwined with the aroma of wet soil. Its top notes include camphor, petitgrain, fig leaf, and a distinct ganja accord. As it settles, it reveals layers of black tea, cumin, leather, and earthy soil accords, creating a multi-dimensional scent with deep, rich tones of incense, amber, and moss in the base. Fans of Zoologist's signature scents will notice similarities to Rhinoceros, Bat, and Sloth, but King Cobra is noted as the most refined of the bunch, with Prin Lomros' unique style clearly visible.

The Experience

Early testers of this fragrance emphasise its imposing presence. The scent is described as hissing and coiling around the wearer—a metaphorical strike that starts potent and strong before gradually transforming into a more comfortable warmth, as though the snake itself has settled into its coils. The incense and green leather lend the scent a regal feel, with one reviewer even calling it a masterpiece of Zoologist’s line, perfect for those seeking a fragrance that commands attention.

Unique Yet Familiar

While King Cobra shines with its artistry and uniqueness, some reviewers pointed out that the signature of its perfumer, Prin Lomros, is noticeable. The fragrance shares a DNA with some of his other works, but this scent certainly excels in both creativity and refinement.

Perfect for All Seasons

Surprisingly, despite its strength, King Cobra is seen as versatile enough for year-round wear. However, users caution against heavy application—its potency can make a strong impression, especially in smaller spaces. Longevity is notable, with many reporting it lasts up to 12 hours on the skin.

Conclusion

With its complex blend of spices, leather, and incense, King Cobra is not a fragrance for the faint-hearted. It is a bold, intoxicating scent with an edge that is hard to forget. Whether you're drawn to its animalic charm or its sultry layers of green and earthy tones, this fragrance will leave an unforgettable mark.

Zoologist has once again pushed the boundaries of olfactory artistry with King Cobra, making it a must-try for perfume enthusiasts looking for something bold and unique.
