Dua's Nirvana captures the warm, spiced opening and creamy vanilla-jasmine heart of Straight to Heaven reasonably well, with a comparable musky-woody base. However, the clone tends to project slightly less intensity in the mid-stage and may lack some of the original's rum-soaked complexity that gives it a slightly intoxicating quality.
The clone's longevity and sillage are marginally softer than the original, and the dried fruit and rum accords feel less pronounced in the dry-down. Overall performance is solid but doesn't quite match the depth and richness of Kilian's composition.
