First review in Spanish and I think the only one, because Nio isn’t super popular lol. I bought Nio and this one, compared them side by side before selling the original to keep a dupe that smells similar without losing the scent. This is clearly a synthetic neroli, lacking Xerjoff’s quality, but it’s a decent approximation—I’d say 80%. It’s missing that green note that makes Nio so distinctive, though it’s not a bad purchase. Longevity is mediocre, about 5-6 hours with a personal bubble projection.
