Well, I find Death Of Autumn pretty dark, especialy in the dry-down, when the black amber comes out, it brings to mind a stormy november night! Malediction and Burial are very evocative, too, in my opinion ( and still I like this ones a lot )

On:I smell rotten apples!No orange peel , no berries , but putrid apples! After a while:the smell gets darker , it deepens into a wood tone,I like this more and more. After 1 hour:now , on me , it smells beautifull , like wet stone or a humid cellar. At first sniff ,I didn`t like it , but it turned out to be a very refined dark parfume.I will keep it.

Umbra smells like a deep , dark forest after rain, wet soil , sweet decaying leaves...

In the bottle: very sharp , almost medicinal smell Wearing it: smokey , incredible, but it smells just like candels in a church!The red patchouli doesn`t seem to be too sweet. This seems to stay pretty long , after 4-5 hours it settles in a deep groundy tone. It suits very well someone in a depresive state , I think,it isn`t an everyday scent , but I`ve tried 24 BPAL scents so far and this one is my favorite !I´m glad I ordred a big bottle right from the start!
