Straight to Heaven vs Herod

Straight to Heaven receives praise for its attractive scent profile featuring rum and cedarwood notes, but the community consensus is divided on its performance. Most agree that longevity is a significant weakness, with the fragrance becoming a skin scent within 6 hours, though some users report acceptable performance. The discontinued Extreme version offered minimal improvement and is no longer available.

Herod is highly regarded in the community as a top-tier fragrance from Parfums de Marly, praised for its complex vanilla-tobacco profile, smooth character, and impressive longevity. While some users report moderate projection rather than extreme performance, the consensus is that it offers excellent quality, especially when purchased on sale, though buyers should verify authenticity due to counterfeits in the market.
