The review
On paper, Direct to Paradise is a reasonable bet if you want Straight to Heaven for less.
Perfume Parlour 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.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $122 per 100ml it costs 47% less than Straight to Heaven — the 4th 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.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour 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
The original opens on rum and dried fruits, turns to patchouli, nutmeg and jasmine, and settles into virginia cedar, vanilla and guaiac wood. That is the brief Direct to Paradise is working from.
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.
