What does King Cobra smell like?

The top notes of fig leaf, camphor, mandarin orange and honey pomelo give a green, slightly medicinal freshness. In the heart, soil, black tea, leather and cumin come forward and the scent turns spicy and animal. In the base, vetiver, patchouli, frankincense and moss set a woody, resinous, smoky ground.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters suggest fall and spring, and leisure, nights out and evenings are the most chosen settings. It reads more masculine, though it is classed as unisex. Puig Quorum and Olivier Durbano Black Tourmaline share a close profile.
