Big Sycamore Creek — Xerjoff Nio Impression

Bergamot and neroli open it bright and clean, the kind of citrus that smells expensive rather than sharp. Cardamom, nutmeg, and pink pepper add a warm, spicy edge, with jasmine and green leaves keeping it fresh. The base is dry wood — cedar, guaiac, vetiver — with a little amber. It's a citrus that doesn't quit by lunchtime.

Xerjoff released Nio in 2009 as part of its Shooting Stars collection, named for a meteorite that fell on Japan in the late 1800s. Citrus fans hold it up as a benchmark for one reason: unlike most citrus fragrances, it lasts.
