Cobra

Jeanne Arthes Cobra is an Eau de Parfum. Cobra opens with Marigold, Aldehydes, Orange, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Orris, Peach, Jasmine, and Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Sandalwood, Musk, and Cedar. Jeanne Arthes's Cobra carries an Acquired verdict, a white floral-led wear.

This one's a bit of a head-scratcher. While it's got a loyal following for its nostalgic charm and undeniable similarity to a certain famous 'poisonous' scent, a fair few find it an unpleasant, cheap imitation. Not one for a blind buy, then, unless you're feeling adventurous.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Formal

Its potent projection and intense, 'old school' floral-spicy profile make it less suitable for office or casual settings. It's much better suited for evening wear, whether that's a date or a formal event, where its strong character can shine without overwhelming.

About

Cobra opens with a bold, almost jarring burst of aldehydes and marigold, quickly joined by bright orange and tangerine. The heart is a heady floral mix of tuberose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang, given a fruity lift by peach and red berries, with a powdery orris root grounding it. The drydown settles into a warm, woody embrace of sandalwood, cedar, and vetiver, smoothed by creamy vanilla and musk, retaining a spicy floral ghost.
