Read more about Gao ▾
Gao by the Italian house Xerjoff is a fragrance for men and women released in 2012, signed by perfumer Chris Maurice. It belongs to the woody oriental family and brings together oud, saffron, cypriol, resins, gurjan balsam, juniper, amber and patchouli.
The Story of the Fragrance and the House
Xerjoff is a luxury Italian niche house known for its rich fragrances and distinctive bottles, with a whole collection dedicated to oud called Oud Stars.
Gao was released in 2012 as part of Xerjoff’s Oud Stars collection, signed by perfumer Chris Maurice. It presents oud in a warm woody oriental style with saffron and resins.
How the Scent Evolves
It opens with a clear presence of oud, the spicy glow of saffron and a fresh touch of juniper – from the first spray you know you’re wearing a luxurious oud.
Over time resins, gurjan balsam and cypriol appear, giving an earthy, smoky depth, before it settles on warm amber and patchouli that stay on the skin for many hours.
Oud and Saffron
Gao presents oud in Xerjoff’s luxurious style: oud gives rich woody depth, saffron adds a warm spicy glow, and resins and amber warm the base, making the fragrance balanced and perfect for lovers of authentic oud.
Longevity and Projection
Gao has strong longevity that lasts for many hours, with clear projection.
For the best longevity, spray the fragrance right after a shower on moisturized skin – hydrated skin holds scent longer than dry skin. Spraying it on clothes and hair also makes it last longer and leaves a clearer trail.
How to Pair It With Your Look
This fragrance suits formal looks, occasions, evenings out and winter clothing.
