What do reviewers say about Gethsemane - Elixir of Faith and Gao?
It opens like a monastery herb garden in winter, then shifts into something older. The metallic notes and frankincense don't soften on skin, they sharpen.Gethsemane - Elixir of Faith
For those who love it, Gao becomes an obsession. That medicinal saffron opening that divides opinion? It softens within the hour, and what remains is a warm, resinous oud that stays close and long.Gao
