The review

Worth a try. That is where AWE lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Straight to Heaven.

AromaPassions sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Straight to Heaven's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $69 per 100ml it costs 75% less than Straight to Heaven — the 2nd cheapest of 7 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength AromaPassions publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

What it is chasing: rum and dried fruits up top, patchouli, nutmeg and jasmine in the middle, virginia cedar, vanilla and guaiac wood underneath — the shape of By Kilian Straight to Heaven.

Top

  • rum
  • dried fruits

Heart

  • patchouli
  • nutmeg
  • jasmine

Base

  • virginia cedar
  • vanilla
  • guaiac wood
For the one who wears rum-soaked patchouli and creamy woods like a signature, warm, boozy and quietly seductive from dusk till dawn.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 8 twins of By Kilian Straight to Heaven we can price, AWE is number 2 on price per 100ml.
