Zoologist Perfumes 2024 EDP

U ££ Acquired

King Cobra

Name: King Cobra Eau de Parfum
Brand: Zoologist Perfumes

Zoologist Perfumes King Cobra is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Prin Lomros. King Cobra opens with Pomelo, Mandarin, Petitgrain, and Fig Leaf, settles into a heart of Soil Tincture, Leather, Cumin, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Amber, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Zoologist Perfumes's King Cobra carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Prepare for a divisive, challenging wear. King Cobra is the ultimate love-it-or-hate-it scent, a potent brew of earthy, green, and camphorous notes that some find intoxicatingly real, while others recoil from its musky, 'unwashed' vibe. It's an artistic statement, not a crowd-pleaser.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Date

With extreme longevity and strong projection, this is far too potent for the office. Its unique and polarising character makes it less suitable for casual wear or formal events, but it could make a bold statement on a date with the 'right' person who appreciates challenging scents.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

Camphor from Camphor

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

It begins with a sharp, almost medicinal camphor and bright, bitter pomelo, quickly plunging into deep, damp earth. The scent transitions into an herbal heart, where potent cannabis leaf (more stalk than smoke) mingles with cumin and robust leather. The drydown reveals a dark, smoky base of incense, moss, and vetiver, evoking a humid, primeval environment. The overall effect is a rich, complex scent of damp soil, pungent herbs, and ancient resins.
