    What do reviewers say about New York City and Nio?

    Most citrus fragrances play it safe. This one doesn't. The result is a fragrance that smells like the hour the city shifts from day to night, when the air cools and the lights begin to assert.New York City
    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
