Oud & Bergamot

Jo Malone's Oud & Bergamot, launched in 2010, is a unisex Oriental that subverts the usual heavy oud treatment. The listed pyramid places all materials in the top: agarwood (oud), bergamot, Virginia cedar, orange, and Amalfi lemon. In practice, the citrus opening is immediate and bright, with bergamot and lemon leading, while the oud and cedar emerge underneath rather than waiting in a base. The result is a dry, woody-citrus composition with fresh spicy and aromatic accents. Collector context: this is an early Jo Malone oud, predating many niche oud launches, and it sits in the Cologne Intense line. It suits wearers who want oud without sweetness, smoke, or rose, and who prefer a crisp, uncluttered profile for daily wear in warm weather. Those seeking a dense, resinous oud should look elsewhere. The main accords—citrus 100%, oud 73%, woody 67%, fresh spicy 62%, aromatic 50%—confirm its sharp, clean character.

Jo Malone Oud & Bergamot 於2010年推出，屬中性東方調，但走的是輕盈路線。官方香調表將所有材料列為前調：沉香（烏木）、佛手柑、維珍尼亞雪松、橙、阿馬爾菲檸檬。實際上皮後，佛手柑與檸檬的柑橘香最先爆發，明亮直接；沉香與雪松隨後從底層滲出，而非等待中後調才出現。整體是乾爽的木質柑橘，帶清新辛香與芳香氣息。適合喜歡烏木但不要甜、不要煙燻、不要玫瑰的人，也適合春夏日常使用。想找濃密樹脂感烏木的，這支未必對味。主調比例：柑橘100%、烏木73%、木質67%、清新辛香62%、芳香50%，印證其乾淨銳利的個性。
