The following are some reasons why perfumes can become unavailable:
Each year, the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) issues ever-stricter safety and allergen regulations. This affects quite a few classic formulas as well as niche compositions, and sometimes brands have to discontinue a perfume if they are unable to reformulate.
The brand decides to change the concentration. For example, an eau de parfum is reformulated as an extrait, effectively turning it into a different perfume.
The brand ceases operating. The creative director passed away, got bored, started a new project, sold the business, etc.
The brand cannot keep up with logistics and production demands, with disruptions for up to a year. If there is no regular production and availability schedule, it is not viable for a stockist to carry the brand.
The brand changed the distribution model, eg from niche to duty free.
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.
An unhurried entrance into a small room, with rain still darkening the street outside. Camphorous green notes bring a sharp edge; damp earth, cumin and incense make the mood more charged than convivial. This is a scent for holding your ground, not smoothing the conversation.
How to wear
Try it first in mild or cool weather, where the contrast between camphorous greenery and smoky earth can feel particularly distinct. Begin with one spray on the torso and assess before adding more. Warm skin may bring the cumin and leather forward; restrained application keeps those darker textures in balance.
Who it’s for
For lovers of bitter greenery, earthy woods and incense who welcome cumin and leather rather than expecting polished freshness. Its ganja accord and camphorous opening suit tastes drawn to unusual, atmospheric compositions with a darker edge.

The nose
Prin Lomros is a Thai perfumer and the creative force behind PRIN, Prissana and Strangers Parfumerie. His work often explores smoke, resins, earthy textures and unconventional contrasts, using fragrance as a medium for atmospheric storytelling. For King Cobra, he brings that sensibility to a composition of camphorous greenery, spiced soil, incense and leather.
Zoologist’s story
Founded by Victor Wong in Toronto, Zoologist translates animals and their habitats into distinctive olfactory stories, embracing the beautiful, playful and unsettling rather than conventional prettiness. The house uses synthetic alternatives to natural animal-derived musks, preserving animalic expression without those materials.
King Cobra’s concept
King Cobra imagines a reversal of predator and prey in an Indian forest: a snake pursuing a rat becomes the cobra’s next meal. Lomros translates the threatening scene into aromatic greenery, damp soil and spices, with heavy incense and green leather conveying the hooded predator’s presence.
Extra info
The official pyramid names a ganja accord and a soil accord: these are olfactory descriptions, not claims that the formula contains cannabis extract or actual soil. Despite its extrait designation, Zoologist specifies a concentration of 18%.
