A very well blended vanilla, high quality stuff, with hints of orchid and dark chocolat, sometimes it reminds me of Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle, in the drydown. Must try! I really like it!

Hi, guys! I recently come across a sample of Straight to Heaven by Kilian. I have been wearing it for two days and am so addicted to its scent, especially the warm woody accords. However, I am stunned by its $200 plus price...Can you guys recommend something similar but at a more wallet-friendly price? I am new to the fragrance things and would really appreciate any ideas!

Thanks!

Pricey but if you really like it, worth splurging IMO.

Just buy the refill for $125.

The travel size refills are actually cheaper per ml, at only $70 for 1 oz.

I'd go for the travel refills, they are very affordable.
