Real talk
Most aquatics stay cold. This one opens sharp with salt and citrus, then lets sandalwood and vanilla warm it from underneath. That's the twist. Ocean air that actually settles into something warmer.Powerful
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
