Gao by Xerjoff, composed by Chris Maurice in 2012, is an amber fragrance with woody and spicy sides. It is dark and resinous, built around balsams, oud and saffron.
The composition comes as one accord. Juniper gives a fresh, resinous and gin-like lift. Saffron adds a leathery, warm spice. Gurjun balsam brings a soft, woody and ambery warmth, while resins and amber create a sticky, glowing sweetness. Agarwood (oud) adds smoky depth, and patchouli and cypriol oil an earthy, slightly smoky woodiness.
The profile suggests a rich, contemplative scent for cold weather. Worn by anyone, it would suit evenings, formal occasions and winter days, for someone who enjoys resinous amber and oud with a spicy edge rather than fresh, sweet or floral fragrances. Its dense formula suggests a deep, serious character rather than a casual one.
