Oud & Bergamot by Jo Malone London

Oud & Bergamot by Jo Malone London is a unisex Cologne Intense that contrasts sparkling citrus with dry cedarwood and dark, resinous oud. Launched in 2010 and created by perfumer Christine Nagel, this amber-woody fragrance is part of Jo Malone London’s Cologne Intense collection and is inspired by Middle Eastern fragrance traditions. The fragrance opens with Bergamot, bringing a bright, crisp citrus freshness. Its heart develops with Cedarwood, adding dry, intensely woody character. In the base, Oud provides rich, resinous depth with dark animalic facets and a textural sweetness that Jo Malone compares to praline. Oud & Bergamot has a citrus, oud, woody, fresh-spicy, aromatic, amber, and balsamic scent profile. It is especially suited to evening wear, formal occasions, date nights, travel, and cooler fall or winter weather, though the bright citrus opening keeps it versatile enough for spring and transitional seasons.
