NIO 50ML

Nio is described as “a refreshing walk through the southern Italian countryside,” and they couldn’t be more right. We imagine strolling down a shaded, cypress-lined path in the height of summer, just before sunset. It’s that special time between day and night, a time the French refer to as the blue hour. Nio opens with a mouth-watering blend of rich orange blossom and Calabrian bergamot before delving into its green, resinous heart. Hints of spice enliven the composition, and vetiver keeps Nio smelling fresh. Unlike many earthy, green fragrances, Nio doesn’t fade into a vaguely woody shadow. Instead, it retains its refined vibrancy for hours and hours, alternately revealing its sophisticated and then mysterious facets.
