Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Straight to Heaven EDP
A dark, boozy woody masterpiece that radiates sensuality and intrigue. Straight to Heaven is for those who crave depth, richness, and a bold signature that lingers long after you leave the room.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Egyptian Angel EDP
Egyptian Angel copies By Kilian's Straight to Heaven, a boozy rum-and-dried-fruit signature over patchouli and vanilla musk. The dupe reproduces the opening rum blast convincingly but the mid-development loses complexity fast, and the sillage tapers off well before the niche original's variable but longer showing.

Season and Occasion Fit

Straight to Heaven

Seasons

The intense woody, spicy and musky character is best suited for cool weather, especially fall and winter, but its freshness from nutmeg and patchouli allows some versatility in spring. It is too rich and intense for most summer days.

Occasions

Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its boldness and richness shine on formal evenings or romantic dates and can be a charismatic signature for special occasions. The projection and spicy opulence make it less suited to daytime office or sport environments.
