Oud & Bergamot
by Jo Malone London
Oud & Bergamot from Jo Malone London is a refined, unisex fragrance that balances fresh citrus notes of bergamot, lemon, and orange with a light, warm oud core and clean Virginia cedar. It opens with a bright, transparent citrus burst that quickly settles into a smooth, aromatic woodiness with subtle holiness, creating an elegant and understated scent. The dry down reveals a refined, slightly powdery oud-infused wood, giving it a polished, modern sophistication reminiscent of understated luxury. It feels natural and wearable, with a grounding elegance that suits both casual and formal settings.
Pros
- +Delivers a sophisticated, clean, and wearable scent with excellent balance
- +Perfect for those seeking a mature, grounded oud-scented fragrance without the heavy or animalic characteristics of traditional oud
- +Offers versatility across seasons and suitable for day or night use with its refined, non-disruptive nature
Cons
- −Extremely weak longevity and sillage, making it invisible after just 1-2 hours
- −Poor performance is consistently reported, even when applied generously
- −May be perceived as too faint or unnoticeable, especially on sensitive skin or warm climates
