The review
Nirvana scores 6.6 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Straight to Heaven.
The Dua Brand 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 $191 per 100ml it costs 76% less than Straight to Heaven — the 7th cheapest of 7 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand 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
By Kilian Straight to Heaven is rum and dried fruits at first, patchouli, nutmeg and jasmine at its heart and virginia cedar, vanilla and guaiac wood at the end. The Dua Brand set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
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.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 8 twins of By Kilian Straight to Heaven we can price, Nirvana is number 7 on price per 100ml.
