Jo Malone Oud & Bergamot Cologne Intense was launched in 2020 as part of Jo Malone’s Cologne Intense collection, created to offer a richer and more opulent take on their classic colognes. This fragrance combines the warmth and depth of oud with the brightness of bergamot, balanced by aromatic and spicy accents, resulting in a sophisticated, modern oriental scent that is both bold and elegant.
The fragrance opens with sparkling bergamot and pink pepper. Bergamot adds a zesty, citrusy brightness, while pink pepper introduces a subtle, rosy-spicy kick. This combination creates a vibrant and intriguing opening that immediately commands attention.
At the heart, rich oud mingles with angelica and clary sage. Oud provides a deep, resinous, and woody character, while angelica contributes a green, slightly earthy freshness, and clary sage adds aromatic, herbal complexity. Together, these notes create a luxurious and refined core that is both mysterious and sophisticated.
The base is warm and sensual, featuring cedarwood, patchouli, and tonka bean. Cedarwood offers dry, woody depth, patchouli adds earthy richness, and tonka bean contributes a soft, creamy, slightly sweet nuance. The result is a lingering, opulent trail that embodies elegance and intensity.
