Animalistic Forest Fragrances

King Cobra by Zoologist Was Inspired by a Venomous Apex Predator

King Cobra by Zoologist Perfumes is an unconventional fragrance that provides a sensory journey through a damp forest floor with an unconventional blend of fig leaf, black tea, vetiver and moss. The storytelling scent, inspired by a venomous snake, carries a bold, earthy aroma that tells a story of untamed strength and regal dominance.

Although Zoologist Perfumes, the award-winning Canadian-based niche perfume house, is heavily inspired by animals and their habitats, its boundary-pushing scents are crafted without the use of animal products.

This unusual fragrance features top notes of petitgrain and mandarin, pomelo and ganja accord, leading into a heart of cumin, leather and soil accord before settling into a grounding base of incense, amber, and the distinctive wet-earth notes of patchouli.
