    What do reviewers say about Leo and Nio?

    The tonka bean is doing something. That's the secret buried under all that citrus and floral elegance. Sweet enough to keep you leaning in, dry enough to stay interesting.Leo
    Nio does something counterintuitive for a citrus fragrance: it gets more interesting as the hours pass. Its true character emerges in the soft jasmine and smoky woods.Nio
