Jo Malone London's Oud & Bergamot Cologne Intense sets bright bergamot against dry cedarwood and smoky oud. It's oud made light and smart: citrus on top, a smoky wood underneath, none of the rose and saffron of Middle Eastern ouds. Oud & Bergamot Rich Extrait and the home products are separate.
What Wearers Say
Some wearers enjoy the contrast between fresh citrus and woods.
One wearer likes the bergamot opening as it settles into noticeable but restrained oud and woods.
Some wearers want more staying power or projection.
One wearer finds the woody dry-down pleasant but too familiar to stand out.
Great for
Try it if you enjoy bright citrus over dry, slightly smoky woods.
Not for
Sample on skin if a strong scent trail is a priority: one wearer reports long wear, while others find it weak.
