The Story
King Cobra is a bold, green floral that captures the tension of a snake in the grass. It opens with a sharp, almost metallic green accord of galbanum and violet leaf, then softens into a heart of jasmine and ylang-ylang. The base is a dry, woody blend of cedar and vetiver, with a hint of animalic musk. It's a fragrance that commands attention without being loud.

Encyclopedia Insights
Is King Cobra a safe blind buy?+
Not really. The green opening is quite sharp and challenging. I'd recommend sampling first if you're not familiar with green florals.
How does it compare to other Zoologist scents?+
It's greener and more floral than most. If you like Nightingale or Hummingbird, you'll probably enjoy this. It's less animalic than Civet or Hyrax.
What's the performance like?+
Expect around 7 hours with moderate projection. The green notes fade after an hour, leaving a floral-woody skin scent.
