    First review in Spanish and I believe the only one, as Nio isn’t very popular, hahaha. I bought Nio and this one, comparing them side by side before selling the original to keep a dupe that resembles it without forgetting its scent. This is clearly a synthetic neroli, lacking the quality of Xerjoff, but it’s a decent approximation, I’d say 80%. It lacks that green note which makes Nio so distinctive, though it’s not a bad purchase. The longevity is mediocre, lasting around 5-6 hours with a personal bubble projection, eh.
