The Story
Oud & Bergamot is a surprisingly approachable take on oud, blending bright citrus with a smooth, woody heart. The opening is a crisp burst of bergamot and lemon, which quickly gives way to a soft, creamy oud and warm amber. It's a great entry point for anyone curious about oud without the heavy barnyard notes.
