What do reviewers say about Gentleman Cologne and Nio?
Here's the thing about colognes in this style: they can be forgettable. Gentleman Cologne isn't. The iris heart gives it a character that elevates it beyond basic fresh-citrus territory.Gentleman Cologne
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
