Oud & Bergamot by Jo Malone Eau de Cologne Intense Spray 100ml

Product Information

I do get about 4 -6 hours of performance on average on milder days but only as a skin scent. The light wafts you’ll get are only detectable in the first hour or so. After that, I recommend keeping with you a small decant and respraying whenever needed. For that reason, I’m not surprised at all how good Jo Malone’s business is doing. Jo Malone London History The bottle is a nice rectangular shaped bottle in a dark glass colour. There’s silver branding to the front, with the brand name as well as the name of the scent. The Atomiser produces a decent spray. It’s not a large wide spray as with others, but it’s not a short burst either. I’d say it’s a little on the small side, but not the worst I’ve experienced.

So the good thing about it is initially it’s powerful, there’s no need to over-spray. The bad is that it will only last a couple of hours. One quality I did notice was that you don’t get that alcohol or chemical fragrance sharpness when you take a close whiff of these candles. They’re not overpowering, but when lit, they serve the room in which they’re in well. You could wear this fragrance basically anywhere and anytime. I feel that due to weaker performance, work, and casual settings work best during the milder seasons of the year.

If the idea of goats and blue cheese sound unappealing, fret not. According to Gilbert, the tiniest amount of oud will lend a resinous sweetness and intensity to a fragrance. "A good perfumer knows how to hide facets of a material that are undesirable."

In the fragrance realm, oud is arguably one of the most polarising scent categories. Fans can't get enough of its rich, intoxicating scent (the Harrods perfume hall is notoriously known for its blast of oud) while other shy away from its intensity. In recent years, perfumers are exploring different ways to give this multifaceted note a modern spin by pairing it with ingredients such as citrusy bergamot, zingy passionfruit and smoky tobacco. What is oud? It’s actually described by Jo Malone as a unisex scent, but the citrus and warm woody features of this makes me really categorise this as a manly smell. How Strong is Jo Malone Oud And Bergamot? Now, the meat and potatoes of the fragrance, and the main question, is this fragrance for you? As a serious fragrance enthusiast, and hobbyist, I have to say that this one left much to be desired in the performance section.

Right off the bat Jo Malone Oud And Bergamot is a scent which smells fantastic. It’s a modern masculine scent which as the name suggests features bergamot and oud as the notes extensively. Cedarwood is another note which is utilised in this scent, rounding off the citrus-woodiness of the scent. Jo Malone high-end niche fragrance house is still quite a mystery to me since I’ve only tried a few other fragrances from the line. Don’t expect any comments or compliments beyond the first hour of wearing this scent since no one will be able to smell you. Not a bad thing for fragrance-sensitive work environments and fragrance lovers who like softer perfumes. The brand has multiple stores across the world and continues to be one of the most profitable beauty brands. Jo Malone Oud & Bergamot Story At this price point, there is almost zero chance to get the real thing in fragrance since real agarwood is more expensive than gold these days.

Atelier Cologne Emeraude Agar – a woody floral fragrance released in 2016. The main notes include oud, Turkish rose, and eucalyptus. The lasting power is 8 – 10 hours with moderate projection. Designer perfumes are a wonderful thing – but let’s be honest, they don’t come cheap. So it’s not surprising that Aldi perfume dupes have become some of the most popular products in the supermarket’s surprisingly vast

Viktor & Rolf dupe

Jo Malone London is a British cosmetics company founded by Jo Malone in 1990. The brand is most known for its candles, perfumes, bath and body products, and room fragrances. Also known as agarwood, oud is produced when the mould phialophora parasitica infects the aquilaria (or agar) tree to produce a dark, fragrant resin that essentially works as the tree's defence mechanism. Oud ranks highly as one of the world's most expensive raw materials as it takes hundreds of years to produce the resin. Plus, the aqularia tree is fast depleting due to over-harvesting and habitat loss. Where do perfume houses source oud?

The Estée Lauder Companies acquired the company in 1999 for an undisclosed amount. Malone continued to work for the brand as creative director until 2006, after which she founded Jo Loves in 2012. One more thing where this perfume fall short is the uniqueness and value of what you are getting. The scent itself is super pleasant, and safe, and doesn’t cross that territory of smelling odd and somewhat dirty for which oud fragrances are known. This is strange, because the style of scent which it is, a dark and woody type usually lasts longer than a fresh scent.One great thing about this whole line is that the bottles are actually see-through and you can always tell how much fragrance is left inside. Oud & Bergamot – our version of the popular designer scent. Similar in style and identity to this famous designer fragrance, our dupe is the highest quality available While I wouldn’t say that Jo Malone has my favorite fragrance bottle design, it certainly ain’t worn like for example, Serge Lutens fragrances are. The mature and masculinity of this fragrance makes me feel like it’s suited to a slightly older crowd. I am thinking that it’s a scent for over 21, possible finding it’s best home in fragrances for men in their 30s (and over). Of course younger men can wear this, but I think there’s better options out there for a youthful scent. Is Jo Malone Oud And Bergamot Worth It?
