What does Straight to Heaven Extreme smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out; summer barely features. Close to half of voters read it as masculine.

Rum absolute and Bourbon vanilla absolute give it a gourmand sweetness that leads. Nutmeg adds spice, cedarwood and patchouli bring a dry, earthy woodiness, and amber softens everything with resinous warmth. Kilian Straight to Heaven, White Cristal and Jo Malone Amber & Patchouli (Cologne Intense) have a close profile.
