The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2007 and crafted by perfumer Sidonie Lancesseur, Straight to Heaven by By Kilian is a Woody Spicy fragrance for men that captures the essence of an unexpected journey. The composition opens with rum and dried fruits, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere before diving into patchouli, nutmeg, and jasmine. Virginia cedar, musk, amber, vanilla, guaiac wood, leather, and tonka round out the base, providing depth and complexity that evolves throughout the day.
Apply this fragrance in light layers — it develops richness over time. The rum and dried fruits are most prominent initially but give way to deeper woody and spicy notes as the day progresses. Best for cooler evenings when its warmth can be fully appreciated.
