Nio

EDP2009

“Orange blossom in afternoon sun — golden, optimistic, quietly luxurious.”

citrus

green

aromatic

Xerjoff's 2009 launch — the brand's clean-aromatic niche, sister to Renaissance in the polished citrus-aromatic tier. A citrus-green-aromatic masculine with bergamot, green notes, and neroli at the top, a cardamom-pink pepper-jasmine-nutmeg heart, and a vetyver-Virginia cedar-guaiac wood-amber-patchouli base. Performs strongest in spring and summer, leans daytime, with moderate projection.

$250–$450
