Xerjoff 2012 Parfum
Gao
Xerjoff Gao is a Parfum launched in 2012, created by Chris Maurice. Gao opens with Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Saffron, and Juniper, settles into a heart of Resin and Gurjun Balsam, and dries down to a base of Amber, Oud, and Patchouli. Xerjoff's Gao carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.
This one's a true love-it-or-hate-it beast. Some find it a masterpiece of modern oud, others a synthetic mess of nail polish remover and burnt rubber. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but if you're into intense, challenging woody scents, prepare to be rewarded after the initial shock.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Best Occasions
Gao's beast-mode projection and tenacity make it largely unsuitable for office or casual wear where subtlety is key. Its dark, opulent character and powerful presence are best suited to formal occasions or evening dates, demanding a commanding, confident wearer.
