Intoxicating aromas of exotic greenery infuse the ancient Indian forest. Yet a snake on the trail of its next meal can isolate the scent of a plump rat. But a flick of its slithering tail betrays the snake, sending the rodent darting away. Thwarted, the snake curls back upon itself, only to feel the cool touch of a menacing shadow of a towering King Cobra witnessing its failure. Now the predator becomes prey and there’s no escape. Intent on a breakfast devoured whole and without mercy, the hooded king strikes. Fangs sink deep, their venom coursing through the body of the snake. Instantly paralyzing heart and lungs, the toxins set to work dissolving the flesh from the inside out.
King Cobra from Zoologist is driven by danger and a desire to dominate. It hypnotizes with camphorous notes of Ganja and petitgrain, radiating coils of aromatic spices and damp mossy soil around a body heavy with incense. Finally, after shedding a delicate green leather, the powerful king ascends to his throne. A coronation of scent, King Cobra gives you license to rule.
Perfumer: Prin Lomros
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a fragrance for close quarters and deliberate presence, where its green smoke, soil and leather can unfold without being rushed. It suits a wearer who wants to project tension and control rather than polish, with a scent trail that feels alert, shadowed and slightly dangerous.
How to wear
Best in cool weather or air-conditioned spaces, where its camphor, incense and earthy base can stay crisp instead of turning heavy. Apply sparingly: one to three sprays are enough for a strong extrait, giving a controlled but noticeable aura that lingers close to the skin with a dry, smoky-green finish.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like unconventional green scents with a dirty, spicy edge, and who enjoy leather, incense and earthy vetiver over sweetness. It will appeal to people drawn to artistic niche perfumery, animalic tension and compositions that feel vivid, strange and uncompromising.

Collaborators
Victor Wong, Zoologist’s founder and creative director, shaped the animal-driven concept and the narrative brief, while Prin Lomros translated that idea into scent with his own idiosyncratic style. The result reflects Zoologist’s collaborative model: a strong visual story guided by the house, then fully interpreted by the perfumer.
Zoologist’s story
Zoologist is a Toronto-based niche house built on animal-inspired storytelling, but its real signature is conceptual freedom. The brand treats perfumery as character design: habitats, instincts and textures become bold, often surprising compositions made with a cruelty-free, synthetic approach.
King Cobra’s concept
King Cobra was released in 2024 as Zoologist’s latest animal portrait, built around the image of a predator in an ancient Indian forest. The official story frames the scent as a struggle for dominance: green, camphorous and earthy notes give way to leather, incense and vetiver, ending in a coronation of power.
Extra info
King Cobra is an extrait de parfum at 18% concentration. It is part of Zoologist’s animal series and was made in Canada. The house’s official story casts the fragrance as a symbolic coronation, with the cobra rising from camouflage and threat into rule.
