Kobraa
by Bvlgari
Kobraa by Bvlgari is a distinctive, linear Oriental fougere with a sharp green incense character. It opens with a bright, aromatic burst of geranium and frankincense, creating a fresh, slightly spicy and herbal impression. The mid-phase is dominated by olibanum and oud, delivering a resinous, woody, and smoky backbone that is both clean and somewhat dry, with subtle ambery warmth. The drydown settles into a refined, powdery-woody base that feels regal and worn with quiet confidence. The scent is distinctively green, with an intense resonance of unburned incense and fresh oud, making it feel modern, intellectual, and understatedly masculine.
Pros
- +Well-crafted, long-lasting projection with excellent longevity
- +Complex and nuanced aromatic-green incense character that stands out
- +Appealing to connoisseurs who appreciate refined, dry, resinous compositions
Cons
- −Strongly green and herbal notes may feel overwhelming to those sensitive to geranium or incense
- −Possibly synthetic oud note can feel sharp or artificial to some
- −Missed opportunity for deeper niche innovation despite the high performance
