Nio
Concentration not disclosed
Mediterranean citrus and spices, in tribute to a meteorite that fell in Japan.
Nio takes its name from a meteorite that fell in the late nineteenth century at Yoshiki, in Japan, scattering its fragments across a bamboo grove. Bergamot, Tunisian neroli and rose blend with a handful of spices: pink pepper, cardamom and nutmeg.
Green leaves and jasmine recall the site of the discovery, then amber, cedarwood, guaiac and Haitian vetiver lay down a woody, earthy base. A fragrance from the Shooting Stars collection.

Nio in detail
Xerjoff, a house from Turin, devoted one of its collections to meteorites: each fragrance bears the name of one and contains a certified fragment. Nio recalls a meteorite that fell in the late nineteenth century at Yoshiki, in Japan, scattering its fragments across a bamboo grove. The house places it among its fresh, woody scents.
The official pyramid opens with bergamot, Tunisian neroli and rose, lifted by pink pepper, cardamom and nutmeg. Green notes and jasmine evoke the bamboo grove. The base of amber, cedarwood, guaiac and Haitian vetiver stays woody and earthy.
Nio is a daytime fragrance from spring to autumn. Its citrus and green notes make it a good companion for warm days in town.
