Straight to Heaven, from By Kilian, is a dark rum-and-woods scent with a dry, grown-up warmth. It opens on rum and dried fruit, boozy but never sticky. Patchouli and nutmeg hold the middle, with jasmine and an airy floral lift underneath. The base is where it really lives: cedar, guaiac wood and leather, rounded off by amber, vanilla, tonka and musk. It launched in 2007 and is mostly worn by men, though anyone who likes quiet, spiced woods will feel at home in it. Voters reach for it on winter and autumn evenings, and it stays polished enough for work. The longevity vote leans moderate. On sillage, most wearers settle on moderate. A 3ml decant lets you try it over a few cold nights before you commit.

The community verdict
Rum and dried fruits start Straight to Heaven on a boozy note, before patchouli and cedar give it a woody, powdery dry-down. Wear time divides opinion between moderate and long-lasting, while most find projection moderate. It suits winter nights, with autumn and evenings also working well; the smooth blend earns compliments.

The house
More from By Kilian
By Kilian started in France in 2007 with a clear taste for boozy, sweet, after-dark perfume. Rum, caramel and vanilla run through much of the range, warmed by cinnamon and cardamom and set on patchouli, cedar or sandalwood. Angels' Share is the natural first try, warm spice and sweet woods with a glow like an old liqueur. Love Don't Be Shy is softer, sugary white flowers over vanilla. Back to Black brings honey and tobacco, and Black Phantom leans into caramel and spice. For a lighter mood, Moonlight in Heaven pairs citrus with tropical fruit.
