Best seasons to wear it
The best time of year to wear it is spring. It is less suited to winter. Ranked by season: spring, summer, fall and winter. If you need something for winter, Diesel Plus Plus Masculine is a better fit. Its fresh smell feels good on warm days.
For work or for evenings
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. Its citrus side keeps it clean and easy.
How long Nio stays on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. It lasts longer than Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò and Diesel Plus Plus Masculine. Base notes like vetyver and Virginia cedar are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €225. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Jaguar and Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò.
Nio sillage
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Xerjoff Atp Torino 23 spreads further.
