Zoologist king cobra 2ml

Zoologist King Cobra is a bold, unapologetic fragrance that captures the duality of its namesake—regal yet primal, serene yet menacing. Crafted by perfumer Chris Bartlett, it opens with a sharp, vibrant burst of lemongrass and green mango, evoking the lush, humid forests of Southeast Asia where the cobra reigns. A hint of black pepper adds a subtle, fiery edge, mirroring the snake’s coiled intensity.

The heart unfolds into a rich, earthy core of patchouli and sandalwood, grounding the scent with a sense of ancient wisdom and territorial power. Undertones of jasmine sambac and ylang-ylang bring a unexpected floral sweetness, softening the composition like sunlight filtering through canopy leaves—an ode to the cobra’s quiet moments of stillness before striking.

As the fragrance settles, a base of ambergris, leather, and smoky vetiver emerges, leaving a trail of dark, animalic warmth. The leather note mimics the snake’s scaled skin, while the ambergris adds a marine depth, hinting at the cobra’s proximity to water. A touch of vanilla lingers, adding a luxurious, almost hypnotic finish that balances the scent’s more aggressive elements.
