King Cobra.

The King Cobra moves through ancient Indian forests, coiled, patient, hypnotic. Prin Lomros took that energy and translated it into scent, the idea of the snake as both predator and symbol, rendered through camphor and green, through smoke and earth. The fragrance opens with a sharp, cooling camphor note that bites slightly, like menthol on warm skin. Beneath it, cannabis and fig leaf bring something alive, green, breathing. Smoke curls through the heart while earth and moss ground the base. It's a composition that finds its power not in literal representation but in evoking the coiled tension and hypnotic presence of its namesake.

What makes King Cobra work is the tension between cool and warm. The camphor opens sharp, almost clinical, the cold-blooded intelligence of the animal itself. But underneath, the cannabis and fig leaf bring something alive, green, breathing. The cumin in the heart adds an edge, an animal warmth that prevents it from becoming a simple aromatics exercise. Leather emerges in the heart, dusty and worn, while incense and moss settle into the base. Vetiver and patchouli keep it grounded, smoky and mossy as it dries down.

Camphor dominates the opening, that cooling mentholated bite that hits the back of the throat slightly. Then the green takes over, cannabis and fig leaf weaving together, brighter than expected. There's a clinical sharpness to the start, almost antiseptic, before the herbal qualities emerge. The leather arrives as the top notes fade, not tanned hide but something earthier, more like dust on old books. Cumin adds an animal warmth to the heart. Incense and moss settle into the base as the fragrance develops. The drydown is where it lives: smoky, mossy, close. Vetiver and patchouli keep it grounded, adding depth and earthiness. The fragrance evolves continuously, each stage revealing new facets of its character.

Since its launch, King Cobra has stood apart in Zoologist's animal collection for its unapologetic use of cannabis-derived notes. The fragrance occupies a specific space between the aromatic and the earthy, appealing to wearers who want something that reads as natural without sacrificing composition. The cannabis note brings an herbal, living quality that distinguishes it from more conventional aromatic fragrances, while smoke and earth keep it grounded. It's become a reference point for how cannabis can be integrated into sophisticated perfumery, moving beyond novelty into genuine artistry.
