Straight to Heaven, white cristal
Kilian (2007)

Sumptuous rum and patch combination. Opens with a disorientating blast of dust and juice. Opulent fruity booze (which to my nose is like dried apricot and mango coupled with a quite heady rum note) and a patch and cedar cloud of dustiness is somehow melded beautifully. Whereas even dried fruit has a certain 'jus' to it, the dryness from the earthy half of this fume's notes seems like it should contradict the boozy fruit half, but doesn't. The woodsy notes along with what is a clean patchouli increase a tad as the rum-punch subsides a little leaving a lovely linear but beautifully blended perfume provoking thoughts of ancient oaken rum casks.
I love patchouli scents and this is a good one (wants to be at the price). It's way out of my range but I'm enjoying the sample.
