Oud & Bergamot by Jo Malone London was launched in 2010, crafted by perfumer Christine Nagel as part of the Cologne Intense Collection. This fragrance is a fresh interpretation of oud, blending bright citrus notes with woody and aromatic elements to create a modern take on an ancient tradition. The composition opens with vibrant bergamot and orange, which give way to a heart of spicy freshness before settling into a rich base of cedar and oud. It's a scent that marries the crispness of a fresh lemon grove with the warmth of woody incense.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays for a balanced experience. The bergamot opening is bright but short-lived, so it's best used during the day when its freshness complements an active lifestyle. As the woody base notes emerge, it can transition seamlessly into evening wear.
