This and sacred wood are tied at #2 for best kilian in my opinion (first is back to black) this scent is super sexy and masculine nuff said
nikatinonozavisimost – :
Maybe I got a bad batch but just tried a sample and had to spray like 8 times to smell anything, it’s basically not there, no projection, nothing. Pretty generic. I keep hoping to find more from this house other than Black Phantom but so far, no luck.
Maxxxx – :
This is a nice dusty cedar scent. It seems to get a lot of love in the reviews here. To me it is kind of like the back of grandma’s wooden closet, which doesn’t get opened very often, so the air is a bit stale and suffocating, but it is where she keeps a jar of candy and a bottle of rum and her fine cutlery. It is nice, but not something I’d consider heaven in any way. The cedar saw dust stays around for quite a while, in a very linear way on me.
I got a sample of this because I had tried Bois de Mystère by Parfums Vintage, and people said it is a clone of Straight to Heaven. I’m not sure I even agree. I prefer Bois de Mystère. That is more like having a swig of rum outside in the fresh air next to the tarred wood shed. More raw.
metreel – :
Yeah this is good, well rounded, well crafted and yes sexy too…thing is are you willing to pay that much for this juice? 250 dollars for 50ml?!
The concept of this fragile beauty doesnt allow it to be a montale like beast mode so you will have to live with the fact that this admittedly beautiful fragrance wouldnt last long and is not a projection monster. If you get people to come close enough they will be rewarded with a wonderful whiff but if you think you could enter a room and make people turn their heads, forget it, you gotta look elsewhere. You pay around 100 dollars more just for the bottle. Get yourself the 50ml refill version, make your own decants and save those 100 dollars.
N_I_K – :
The notes are a bit wrong – Jasmine is actually hedione, amber is actually ambergris.
To me the most prominent notes are (in order) rum, hedione, nutmeg, dried fruit, vanilla.
The dried fruit note is very reminiscent of the same note in La Panthere but stronger and richer, you can really smell the sweet leathery flesh of dried apricots and raisins (I love that note and that’s why I bought this.) The hedione was instantly recognizable too and reminded me very much of the same note in Initio High Frequency. The rum is calm and not too boozy. The nutmeg is very realistic, like the exact same thing you would smell in the grocery store, not the sweet, perfumey fantasy nutmeg from Organza. The rest of the notes are too well-blended to single out and comment on.
All in all, a well-blended creation with high quality ingredients. If you like Back to Black, you will also like this.
stimjay – :
A beautiful cedar-amber with facets of aged liquor, dried fruit and smoky vanilla. A subtle fragrance with a very complete and well rounded feel.
xxvxx – :
I have nearly bought this so many times. This review is mostly to talk about the reasons that I will not buy this fragrance, despite the temptation being there. Reader, please accept ahead of time, that this review will be lovingly brutal. I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed.
I keep returning to samples of this perfume to try and rediscover why it just seems to sit so damn well with me.
There is a certain rum-like quality to this, in all rum’s sugared complexity, with notes of tobacco that never become gritty or edgy. Very creamy, very vanillary, definitely gourmand elements here which I love. All round, love love love.
So good so far, right?
By Kilian, I want receipts. Why on earth is something with such sumptuous top and middle notes, on a base that is identical to basic $5 cologne? Why is the sillage so lacklustre after such a short amount of time? Why are you charging this much when there’s a certain cheap headache-inducing metallicness throughout?
Others aren’t talking about these issues, so I have to assume I have consistently received dud batches?
hermin – :
Seductive, alluring, sweet, dark, woodsy, rummy, creamy, fruits as in that of a compote.. I prefer this slightly to the extreme though they are almost identical. The Extreme is a caricature/exaggerated version of this where longevity and projection are boosted. I prefer this because of its more subtle nature but still fantastic scent quality. I sometimes tend to overspray and Id find that less agreeable with a more potent version such as the extreme.
senna1988 – :
Good: this literaly smells like heaven. If you sniff this you can’t stop sniffing the amazing rum, sweet, seductive notes. It is seriously one of the best scents I have ever smelled.
Negative: the projection lasts only about 1 good hour or so. After that I keep smelling my wrist because it is so delicious. But the people near me don’t smell it at all.
And that is why I will not buy this fragrance. Too bad because it is superb and out of this world for the first hour.
I hate that it doesn’t last. Because I love it.
ponomarev2003 – :
although I feel this fragrance is extremely unique, I believe it has a similar vibe to Creed Aventus. I don’t think they smell the same but you do get that same Smokey, woody scent with a mysterious fruity note that creeps up on you. I’m not in love with the sillage, as it hasn’t garnered a compliment yet. The obscene price point for a 1.7oz bottle is also slightly disturbing. Overall it is a piece that I need in my collection.

Let’s just say, “Wow.” This stuff is heaven in a bottle.

goryainov-1986 – :
Smells certifiably, insanely good. Kilian is expensive, definitely try before you buy. My sample so far has great longevity but moderate projection. I’m still holding out hope that the Straight to Heaven I end up adding to my collection will miraculously have heavier projection for no explicable reason.
Update 7/25/18:
Found a deal on the travel atomizer set and ordered it. I don’t have the most experienced nose, but I’ve smelled a bit of niche perfumery, and Kilian’s Straight to Heaven is one of the best I’ve enjoyed thus far. Splash of rum, lightly earthy/spicy cedar, and incense smoked patchouli are uniquely and tastefully blended with the sweetness of dried fruit and vanilla. Topping all of this off with a touch of nutmeg is what makes this fragrance go from stun to kill. Way too good for me to pass up despite the high prices and lack of “beast mode” reputation. The travel atomizer not only solves that problem, but was always the best way to enjoy Straight to Heaven regardless. My friends at work all went nuts for it, and even my dad mischievously pocketed my atomizer the very first time I showed it to him; he said I could get it back next weekend lol
Absolutely brilliant fragrance. Signature scent worthy. Masterpiece
sizov-aleksan – :
This juice, is well, literally straight to heaven. Off the top you get the rum, which comes off as a cognac type of smell. Then the dried fruits come into play, and it is a absolutely exquisite scent! After that the rum tapers off and you get a slight boozy, rum vanilla fruity smell. Almost like something you smell around the winter season. I’m sure this can be worn year round any time. A very solid release from Kilian, and I will definitely be back for more! Today was my first time where I was able to smell ALL the Kilian’s and while I was slightly overwhelmed, every scent was just so beautifully done that each stand out on their own.
10/10
ProxY – :
A divine combination of fresh cedar wood with a pungent rum note. Maybe the best scent from the house.
boutstest – :
Well, I’ve taken the plunge and started trying some Kilian perfumes. This and Love were two samples that have become recent acquisitions because I fell in love with both.
I actually didn’t pay attention to the fact that this was marketed to men. The note listing looked interesting so I figured I’d try it. Wow, just wow! This is some good stuff! To me, it’s unisex, so you ladies that like masculine scents with lots of cedar, do try this.
The opening is so boozy; I feel like I’m pouring liquor on myself. Then the cedar comes through, and it’s smooth as silk; no harshness at all. As it’s drying, I get some spiciness, which smells like the fruit and nutmeg intermingling. I actually don’t get much patch on my skin, but it could be so well blended that I’m just not smelling it. This is a really dark scent, at least to me. Halloween immediately comes to my mind when I smell this. I think it might have actually dethroned my Amouage Memoir for fave spooky scent! Lol
Longevity: this didn’t come off until I showered. It stuck to my clothes until I washed them and I could still faintly smell it. Sillage: on me, beast mode.
Bottom line: it’s fucking awesome! Shut up and take my money, Kilian!
Rjntyjr1 – :
This stuff is actually addicting. Possibly one of the best uses of cedar i’ve smelled so far, it gives this fragrance a spicy, woody heart that is sweetened up by that rum note. Also I get a perfectly suited dose of vanilla in the dry down. This is a top seller from the house with good reason. Very original, very sexy.

@ michael.j
Care to actually describe the scent, just a little maybe??
Just had to endure all your incomprehensible rant is worse than any ‘generic’ scent that could keep someone smelling good at least rather than sweating after reading your bitter post, thx
and ah the ”ton of other better scents” line
well? You appeared to have gone on a toilet break after that bombshell -,-
denis47 – :
Opening is a glorious boozy sweet mystery. Sweet and reminds me of Tom Fords Noir de Noir in that way – dark and dense as opposed to a candylike sweetness. It is simply remarkable especially opening and shortly thereafter but on my skin that mystery dissipates rather quickly into something that is perhaps a bit too similar to the dry-down of Versace’s Oud Noir. Debate purchasing it when the dry-down is eerily similar to an equally nice smelling fragrance costing much less.If you can, try to test these 2 fragrances back to back both initially and the dry-downs. If the opening and first 1 hour is all you need…then this little juice can be your drug for a lot more $.
Relon – :
One of fragworld’s ‘Rockstarz’
Yep, the cringe may be high in reading that but this 1 is definitely not joking about; Kilian is pretty good with booze as We all know and this is his safey musky-vanillin Classic.
Woody, mysterious and steeped in a wonderful mulled-wine/fruit-liqueur accord without coming off like a drunkard.
Still, there is a little too much bubbly in there for me (need to be sweeter if being more boozy) but for me this totally boots it’s direct competitor , Lubin Idole into Row Z.
That is annoyingly orangey and too dense without being sweet – Kilian uses his vanilla well here to make this one a whole World more friendlier and huge credit to him for that.
The Extreme version has even more vanilla, even more satisfaction – try it!
My rating: 8/10
ndr381intitytek – :
Warm, enchanting, and masculine.
The opening of Straight to Heaven comes on strong with a very charming blend of rum and dried fruits, atop luxury presence of deep, rich, and aromatic cedar. The rum and dried fruits is liquor-like, but smooth, warm, and bold. I could best describe it like a barrel warm spiced hard cider, only replacing apple with a more complex and ambrosial undertone.
The presence of cedar in Straight to Heaven is somewhat similar to that of Creed Royal Oud, but is mellowed significantly so that it’s much more comfortable. The masculine overtone that it adds to the fragrance supreme, and I would say this presence carries a majority of appeal for the fragrance.
Straight to Heaven makes an amazing fragrance to wear outdoors, while you’re on the go, or while running errands. Indoors, or in closed spaces, the cedar note can be a little overbearing (as traditionally so). However, out in the open air, it’s mellowed very well very well, and fragrance projects with this perfect sense of deep, bold, and romantic aromatic qualities.
It’s smooth, slightly sweet, ambrosial, and very masculine. Huge confidence boosting scent I would say.
Definitely worth checking out, a very nice work with such a challenging note at the forefront. Impressive by all considerations—with an opening that fully lives up to its name—sure to send a man straight to heaven.

Quiet woods. Lovely, boozy opening followed by discreet Iso E cedar with a hint of jasmine underneath. Fairly transparent and quickly becomes pretty much a skinscent. Might be worth it if it was 1/3 the price. Pleasant, if unremarkable.

Kilian Perfume / Straight to Heaven
The olfactory group: Woody Oriental
Base notes of hot and sweet
Standing and Spread: Medium
Starting note:
A fragrant, fragrant floral fragrance with a cool, acidic alcoholic beverage of plant chords
The space is full of aroma, dusty, alcoholic and smoky from Phetchouli and Rome. This space is gradually increased by adding the chords to the musk and amber so that the scent starts to warm up.
The smell of this fragrance is based on woody, slender, dirty, heavy and fermented smell of rum that has a heavy, charming and sexy atmosphere.
The predominant aroma of this stage is hot, bitter and bitter.
Middle notes:
The presence of amber becomes more perceptible and the heat increases.
The vanilla scent and sweets of dried fruits, which, in the beginning, make it less likely to appreciate the warmth and sweetness of the fever, it is less understood at this stage.
Final note:
The sweet and sweet smells will go down and the spice will work.
The atmosphere of the fragrance is no longer moisture and freshness, the atmosphere of the fragrance becomes heavy and uniform.
The aroma is warmer, spicy and powdery.
The fragrance is heavier and creates a mysterious atmosphere of darkness, unlike what I saw in the notes.
The good notes of perfume that I came up with was the aroma atmosphere. It was a good balance of heat and a few layers of chocolates, although the spice chords scrubbed the bitter and sweet scent of the scent. The second is the presence of a gentle pastry throughout the fragrance.
After hours, the smell of perfume from the heat and the state of health of the fragrance will be reduced, and at the end of its life, the fragrance has a sweet, powdery, and slightly warm condition.
The third point that was important to me was that the chords of the chords, the tumultuous, and the opportunistic were different scents that did not stop for a moment to take advantage of the opportunity to dominate.
What I like in Woody Oriental Perfumes.
Negative Tips Straight to Heaven For me, it is a heavy, odd, uniform and dry smell, which shows a fragrance without vitamins and dexterity so that you may feel tired after several times.
Kilian / Straight to Heaven
With original wooden chocolates, patches, spices and sweet
Perfect perfume for formal parties and two-person appointments.

Without a doubt one of the best cedar / wood notes I’ve ever smelled. One of the best fragrances I’ve ever smelled period
Myclededcah – :
My, Oh My! This is not supposed to happen, fragrance so good to make you emotional…You’ll think about nothing but love when you put this on. So I warn you! Wear this only around your “loved one”, that special one only!!! Just a few sprays and you’ll be in that special place, all your problems gone, nothing else matters but the love bubble that this incredible juice will create around you. You’ve gotta try this to know what I’m talking about.
Side effects of this too-good-to-be-true juice: intermittent smiles, heavenly daydreams, IMMEDIATE sexiness. So use wisely if you can help it.
punisher_gun – :
Very nice & well done. I love it but for the price.. ehhh there’s better out there for half the price. Smokey boozy patchouli nutmeg & spices that smell out of this world… SEXY! Longevity and projection is through the roof! Wish it weren’t so expensive though.
hot-dog123 – :
After sampling a dozen or so By Kilian fragrances and being utterly disappointed (and offended by the cost) I finally found a fragrance that is FB worthy from this house.
Straight to Heaven is a VERY nice fragrance, romantic, yet casual, sensual, yet not in your face about it. It’s also warm and comforting but doesn’t need to be worn in winter (I live in South Florida and this works great here)
The initial spray can be a bit off-putting at first, it has a very strong “booze” opening but like in a way that you just spilled rum all over yourself trying to open the bottle. lol
That alcoholic opening subsides within minutes and you’re left with a rich, warm, slightly sweet (and I hate sweet, but this works for me) smoky, woody vibe. It’s VERY comforting, it almost gives off an incense vibe (I’m guessing due to the patchouli)
As it continues to dry down, you get a very smoky, patchouli note that has a soft sandalwood note, with some sweet spice.
To get the rum, dried fruits, and nutmeg you gotta warm this one up….so this is what I do: I put my nose to my skin and breathe out of my nose several times to warm up the fragrance, then I inhale back through my nose…you REALLY get the dark rum and dried fruits. The rum is not a fresh in the glass rum, it’s a dried rum…..like you know when you’ve finished your glass and there is a drop or two that remains in the glass and dries a bit….THAT smell is the smell of this rum a dark, oaky, spicy rum it’s DELICIOUS!
You can detect the amber slightly, but it’s hard to notice.This is my favorite By Kilian fragrance and I want to try Sacred Wood and STH Extreme now.
lonworlpostspoz – :
It took me a couple wearings to understand this fragrance. Initially, it was purely cedar, a freshly cut cedar. However the more I wore this one, the more it made sense. It has a spiced rum accord that blends so well with the cedar. I love this fragrance in the fall. It reminds me of the leaves falling and a cool breeze.

straight to heaven is really classy perfume with scent of cedar/wood/rum which make boozy scent.but really lack of sillage. i’ve got only 2 hours performance from this one.doesn’t worth this price for me and i’ve had enough with my 7.5 mil. 7/10
عطری بسیار با کلاس با بوی چوب و سدر و رام که یک فضای الکلی چوبی می سازند ولی واقعا پخش بوی افتضاحی داره و بعد از 2 ساعت هیچکس متوجه بوش نمیشه. اصلا بااین قیمت نمی ارزد
Tolaalegmet – :
awesome fragrance!
got a full bottle for a great price. stuff lasts 10 hours on my skin and projection is good for the first 4.
i wanted the extreme version because the rum is dialed up but i couldn’t pass this. still very happy with my purchase and would recommend to those who love boozy scents. it has one of the best rum notes i’ve smelled. well its top 2… Jazz Club by maison marigela is right up there with this one.
this scent has a darkness to it yet it seems bright.
its kind of weird. yet i still love it.
my rating is 9/10
ive smelled better but this is one i will reach for on nights out with my lady. also imo can be worn with anything.
gotta love it

Virutexsit – :
The moment a niche house is acquired by a large company like Estee Lauder, you know the quality of their products will drop and the niche status loses its exclusivity.
By Kilian’s vintage perfumes may have been masterpieces, but Straight to Heaven is a completely ordinary fragrance that offers no charisma, longevity, or uniqueness to justify the price tag.
Save the money and go for Xerjoff, Amouage, or other houses that pure profit isn’t their only objective!
Xeroxixayj – :
I thought i might like this one and even for a split second, contemplated blind buying it thanks to spotting an amazing deal on Notino. I am extremely glad i already had a sample, deciding to put it on to make my decision. It unfortunately to me, smells like someone just poured Jack Daniels all over me. It really isn’t to my taste, as much as i love Jack Daniels!
Almes – :
Extremely linear with no development. If you want to smell like a patchouli rum and Coke for eternity, this is your scent. I want this off my skin NOW!!!
Mevda715Bessinepome – :
The moment Straight to Heaven hits my skin, I’m in heaven. No pun intended. This is pure magic. Funny calling it something with heaven, because it’s very earthy almost cellar like, to me at least. Like being in a damp cool cellar on a hot summerday with a foodstorage containing plenty of rum (it’s boozy!), dried fruits, sugar, vanilla and cedar interior. And then some jasmin flowers outiside in the sun, bearly noticeble. I truly love this fragrance. I somethimes have a hard time with patchouly, but here i love it. It mixes well with the sweetnes, reminisent of the same way it does in Chanel Coromandel EDP.
I wear this on nights out and it lasts all night. Espesially on clothes it sticks forever. I have been out dancing up close with friends many nights, recieving texts days later that their clothes smell of my fragrance (STH). And they love it. It’s one of my most complimented fragrances.
10/10
HeimiTawHiple – :
@Bart87 got a sample too and had th same experience…definately not worth the money…
YP.Pahomov – :
Got a sample of this among other best selling niche fragrances. I don’t know if something went wrong but my sample was really weak, it was really difficult to smell it and impossible to make out what is was made of. I sprayed in on my entire body but could only smell it with my nose directly on my skin. Not a bad scent though, but neither is it something special. Definitely not worth the money as the price they ask for this is ridiculous.
sas1943 – :
Gucci rush, not a bad fragrance, but definitely not for me, I gave Gucci rush away back in the day. No.2 pencil smell I can’t get past it.
aleks-pae – :
This is really beautiful, it opens with sharp patchouli so if that’s not your thing, you won’t love this. But it settles into a pretty soft and unisex scent, it’s intoxicating! I love love love it! It calms down to a skin scent pretty quickly but I can still smell it on my wrists this morning and I put it on last night at around 8pm. I am admittedly not an educated perfumista, but I have loved every single By Killian I’ve ever smelled! I think they smell unique, well made, with good ingredients. Not sure I’d fork over for an entire bottle, but I’ll definitely always have a decant of this and Back to Black on hand. It’s a very gorgeous scent, with a little bit of rock n roll to it!
EDIT: I’ve been wearing this lately and it just doesn’t do very much – starts out with sharp patchouli, and ends that way too. I don’t think it’s worth what they’re charging for it. I also have Good Girl Gone Bad and that one is a total dud. I’m not really feeling these fragrances after a few tries. They all fall flat and I feel like I’ve smelled them before. This is a great sexy and unisex scent if you like patchouli, but if I were to buy a full size bottle I would be haunted by the fact that I could have found something similar for less. If money is no object and you love beautiful packaging, then these are safe buys.

ARHANGEL777 – :
It’s a pretty perfect balance between the cedar, patchouli, dried fruits and a beautiful musk on the base. The boozy opening only lasts 10 or 15 minutes in the opening, it’s like a “business card”, lol! Very mature and solid fragrance for executives or people that work at office environment. Has some good versatility though.
It last pretty well on my skin and it is a crowd pleaser, women love it! I do have this and bentley intense, and they are not even similar. Don’t get the comparison between these two.
Love this one!

vlad-maxis – :
Did I get the wrong sample? This smells like a typical lavender gourmand, sort of like a heavy version of Attitude by Armani. I was thinking the scent should have been named Straight to Heaving, as it has the exact kind of note combination that makes me feel ill. I really like Apple Brandy and Intoxicated is good (though redundant for me, considering how many similar scents I own), but this is not working for me at all. It reminds me a bit of Enrico Sebastiano Fine Cologne, which has some things in common with Pure Malt too. However, the Sebastiano doesn’t have the kind of clash of notes I perceive here, so I can enjoy that one from time to time. Perhaps this is a mislabeled sample? Note that I didn’t get rum and don’t see any resemblance to Bentley Intense, other than the most basic things, such as that neither is an aromatic/green scent.
Капризная_я – :
Read a lot of reviews saying its a generic , run of the mill fragrance with hefty price tag, well,i may agree with the price tag complaint but still desperate to have a single (generic) fragrance which smells like this.
Straight to Heaven reminds me of only one fragrance and thats French Lover, in fact I always wanted French lovers’ drydown to smell like this, STH is all about Cedar and very refined Patchouli with the hint of musky booze.
I Love the dry down of this , that’s so refined so elegant , so manly and so heavenly. So far the best from the House among all tested earlier.

This is a woody perfume with a lot of Cedar and Rum. This brilliant fragrance is a great choice for every seasons and any occasion. It has great longevity and moderate sillage.
یکی از بهترینهای کیلیان

Love the top notes, unfortunately it goes basiocally straight into the base notes which are whimpy and soft and I don’t like them and they’re gone as well after about 2 hours or so.
Nothing nothing nothing. Sorry but not sorry. This is at best an eau de cologne/after shave as far as performance.

weisearry – :
Straight to Heaven opens spicy and warm no purpose to look like a refreshing fragrance.
Nuts and jasmine bring the notes nuance and color to this good patchouli, indeed, very little earthy (plus) and denominate steaming by the warmth created like a heater, also projected by beating or intervals (which, to me personally I love).
To produce amber, cedar and musk lesser extent they have much to do that beat effect.
Ron is perceived with crystal-clear and feels almost from the end of the notes starting and as it evolves manages to produce a very sensual effect of rum and raisin by the effect nuts and sweetness of vanilla rounds in the right measure sweetness, bordering the ground gourmand and without mixing in no time with the subject spirits (another plus more).
On my skin the duration is very good and the projection moderate thing I appreciate as picture a patchouli fragrance with strong projection: it would be unbearable after 10 minutes of wearing it, both for those around you as to who uses it, so that the balance achieved is very good. The excellent qualities.
If you like patchouli and flavored smoked like rum raisin, you’ll love this.
Rating: 7
Vlad19550 – :
I don’t understand how people think there’s no booze in this, because it starts with a shot of dark (not spiced) rum and evolves into the scent of rum-drenched, toasted oak staves. As such, the cedar is not of the hamster cage, linear and au naturel variety like Le Labo’s Santal 33. It is lightly sweet and smoky, gently rummy, with a nice Caribbean vibe. The musk, ambergris and patchouli are expertly blended and keep things interesting.
I love this stuff. It can be worn in any season, since it has a freshness that can complement warmer weather without becoming powdery and overwrought, yet with enough backbone to hold up in the colder months. It is safe and extremely versatile, unique enough to stand out from the pack without gassing everyone. The main drawback — and it is major — is that the longevity could be stronger.
Pricing may also be your determining factor, and the big decision is which package configuration to order. The standard case and bottle — of astoundingly high quality, superior to what most luxury Swiss watchmakers provide — carries a premium price ($245 for 1.7 oz.) but would make a great gift. The travel and refill options (currently $160 for 1 oz with a cool travel atomizer or 1.7 oz for the Plain Jane refill) are economically compelling.
The fragrance quality is a 9.5/10, but the poor longevity drops it to 8/10.
