Oud & Bergamot - Cologne Intense

Calling all oud lovers!

Calling all oud lovers! The oud really comes through for me, but it’s smooth and refined rather than overpowering. The crisp bergamot adds brightness at the start, while the cedarwood and black musk give it depth and warmth, making the scent feel sophisticated and expensive. What also impressed me is the longevity. It lasts incredibly well, to the point where I could still smell it even after showering. The performance alone easily justifies the price, and it feels like a polished, confident scent that lingers beautifully.

Adding This to my Permanent Collection

I used the Jo Malone Oud & Bergamont Cologne Intense and applied it in the early morning before beginning my day. The scent applied well onto my skin and persisted throughout the day without fading. I enjoyed the fragrance and was complimented on it throughout my time wearing it. I loved the complexity of it. While woody, it was still bright and appealing, with an intriguing edge of spice to it. I look forward to adding this to my collection. I received this product for free from Jo Malone for testing and review purposes.

Not great

“I received this product for free from Jo Malone for testing and review purposes.” I received a sample size of this product. I have to say I am not a fan of this scent and neither is my bf. It kind of smells like composted leaves. I take walks in the woods so this is a very familiar smell to me. The thing is, it smells like this in a not so good and fresh way. It is too musky and woodsy in my opinion. there is no freshness aspect. It does have a "manly" smell, but that is the only aspect that would be a plus. The bergamot scent doesnt really stick out to me, which is a scent I actually do enjoy. If you or your bf is into a deep woodsy smell then this would be great for you, but this just isn't a scent I prefer or suggest just anyone.

Takes me make to nature

I received this product for free from Jo Malone for testing and review purposes. What I love most is how balanced it is — it has that bold, sensual oud character without being sharp or medicinal, making it perfect for both everyday wear and special occasions. As it dries down, it becomes smooth, warm, and slightly woody with a soft elegance that lingers beautifully on the skin. The longevity is impressive, and the projection is just right: noticeable without being overwhelming. This scent feels confident, sophisticated, and timeless — perfect for anyone who enjoys deep, luxurious fragrances with a modern twist.

really lovely citrus and woodsy scent

i love this scent. it's citrusy and woody and warm. i think some oud fragrances can be a little overwhelmingly woody/musky but this one is just soo perfect. light and just lingers in the perfect way. i bought my boyfriend a bottle of this after receiving a sample because that's how much we both liked it. highly recommend!

I received this product for free from Jo Malone for testing and review purposes. The scent is citrusy and woody. It came out intense but settles into a pleasantly lingering scent. I’d use this for every day as well as special night event as it is not too overwhelming. I would recommend it for anyone who’s into cologne or starting out.

Love this!

Jo Malone Oud & Bergamot Cologne Intense is a refined and modern unisex fragrance that beautifully balances freshness with depth. It opens with a bright and uplifting burst of bergamot, which adds a clean citrus sparkle and keeps the scent from feeling too heavy. As it develops, the fragrance reveals a smooth, woody heart, with oud adding warmth, richness, and subtle sensuality without being overpowering. The oud in this composition is soft and elegant rather than smoky or animalic, making it very wearable and versatile. The overall scent feels luxurious, polished, and effortlessly sophisticated. It works well for both daytime and evening, especially for those who enjoy woody fragrances with a fresh twist. Longevity and sillage are moderate, creating a refined scent bubble that feels intimate and classy. This is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a clean, modern take on oud that feels timeless and understated rather than bold or overwhelming.

Smokey sexy lemon scent

Warm and spicy is the perfect blend of both worlds. It has a strong pull when you put it on and after time the scent becomes so buildable a smokey. I love that me or my husband can wear it and it smells so sexy on both of us! Great play on feminine and masculine sense. It’s definitely a buildable scent that you can wear with other colognes or perfumes to get more definition. I received this product for free from Jo Malone for testing and review purposes.”

Get this!

I wish I had a larger bottle of this cologne! The scent was amazing and lasted throughout the day without being overwhelming or overpowering. My wife loved the scent.

I didn’t expect to love Jo Malone Oud & Bergamot as much as I do, but it’s quickly become one of those scents I keep reaching for. On me, the bergamot comes through first and feels fresh and clean, then it settles into this warm, slightly smoky oud that’s really comforting and not overwhelming at all. It has soft, cozy depth that lingers in the best way. It makes me feel confident and put together, and I always get compliments when I wear it.

I really liked this scent.

really liked this scent. It lasts quite a long time on my skin, but I have the feeling that it suits more mature women - it's very deep and smells like wisdom. I received this product for free from Jo Malone for testing and review purposes.
