What does Nio smell like?
Nio's longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters recommend summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen occasions. Most people read it as masculine, while some call it modern or classic.
Cardamom, pink pepper and nutmeg bring spice at the top, lifted by bergamot and Tunisian neroli. Green leaves and jasmine add a soft floral touch in the heart. Gaiac wood, Haitian vetiver, cedarwood and amber settle it onto a woody base.
