Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nio EDP

Nio is a divisive citrus-green powerhouse. For some, it's the ultimate refined summer freshie; for others, an overpriced cleaning product. Expect sharp, photorealistic green notes.

Acquired

Our Verdict - 212 Men EDT

Divisive yet undeniably iconic, 212 Men is a fresh, green time capsule. Some declare it a timeless masterpiece, others a dated relic. If you're after that unmistakable pre-social media NYC swagger, this could be your juice.
